4-syllable Spices that contain S

List of 4-syllable Spices that contain S

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

Horseradish

Armoracia rusticana

A gnarled white root that releases nostril-stinging heat the moment it is grated — the spicy backbone of cocktail sauce, Passover seder, and Bloody Marys.

3

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.

4

Sesame Seed

Sesamum indicum

One of the oldest oilseeds in cultivation — small, nutty, and indispensable from Middle Eastern tahini to Japanese furikake.

5

Smoked Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Spanish pimentón dried over oak smoke for weeks — the campfire-deep red powder behind chorizo, paella, and patatas bravas.

6

Sweet Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Ground sweet bell-pepper-style chiles with rich color and little heat — the supermarket staple sprinkled over deviled eggs and goulash worldwide.
