List of 4-syllable Spices that contain L

1

Black Cardamom

Amomum subulatum

A large, wrinkled, smoke-dried pod with a campfire intensity that lifts long-cooked meats and dals far from its delicate green cousin.

2

Kaffir Lime Leaf

Citrus hystrix

The double-lobed, intensely citrus-perfumed leaves of a Southeast Asian lime — slivered into soups, curries, and stir-fries from Bangkok to Phnom Penh.

Lavender Bud

Lavandula angustifolia

The dried purple buds of Mediterranean lavender — used carefully in herbes de Provence, shortbread, lemonade, and infused honey.

4

Nigella Seed

Nigella sativa

Tiny matte-black seeds (also called kalonji or black caraway) with an onion-oregano savor — dusted on naan, pickles, and Bengali fish.
