4-syllable Spices that end with D

List of 4-syllable Spices that end with D

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

Lavender Bud

Lavandula angustifolia

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

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.
