4-syllable Spices that contain N

List of 4-syllable Spices that contain N

1

Brown Mustard Seed

Brassica juncea

Smaller, darker, and far hotter than yellow seed — the workhorse of Indian tempering and the spice that gives Dijon its bite.

2

Green Cardamom

Elettaria cardamomum

The pale-green seed pod of a tropical ginger relative — the "queen of spices" and one of the world's most expensive flavorings by weight.

3

Green Peppercorn

Piper nigrum

Unripe pepper berries preserved in brine or freeze-dried — soft, fresh, and herbaceous compared to their dried-black cousins.

4

Lavender Bud

Lavandula angustifolia

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

5

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.

6

Pink Peppercorn

Schinus molle

Not a true pepper at all but the rosy berry of a Peruvian shrub — fragrant, sweet, and increasingly popular in modern cuisine.
