5-syllable Spices that contain O

List of 5-syllable Spices that contain O

1

Aleppo Pepper

Capsicum annuum

A coarsely crushed Syrian-Turkish chili with a soft fruity heat and salt-oil sheen — the finishing flake of choice for kebabs, hummus, and labneh.

2

Asafoetida

Ferula assa-foetida

A pungent, sulfurous resin harvested from giant fennel relatives — used in pinhead quantities to mimic the umami of onion and garlic in Brahmin and Jain cooking.

3

Ceylon Cinnamon

Cinnamomum verum

The "true" cinnamon — delicate, papery quills of Sri Lankan bark with citrus-floral notes and far less of the punch of cassia.

4

Coriander Seed

Coriandrum sativum

The dried fruit of the cilantro plant — gently floral, citrusy, and the most forgiving of "sweet" spices used by the heaping spoonful.

5

Grains of Paradise

Aframomum melegueta

Small reddish-brown West African seeds with peppery heat and citrusy warmth — a medieval European favorite that survives in Norwegian aquavit and craft beer.

6

Yellow Mustard Seed

Sinapis alba

The milder of the cultivated mustards — a small golden seed that forms the base of American ballpark mustard and English pickle brines.
