6-letter Spices that contain A

List of 6-letter Spices that contain A

1

Ajwain

Trachyspermum ammi

Tiny ridged seeds with a powerful thyme-oregano punch — the digestive workhorse of Indian breads, lentils, and snack mixes.

2

Capers

Capparis spinosa

The unopened flower buds of a Mediterranean shrub, pickled in salt or brine — the briny pop in puttanesca, tartare sauce, and chicken piccata.

3

Cassia

Cinnamomum cassia

The thicker, darker, bolder bark sold as "cinnamon" in most supermarkets — assertive enough to flavor American cinnamon rolls and Chinese braises.

4

Mahleb

Prunus mahaleb

The ground inner kernel of a wild Mediterranean cherry stone — a marzipan-meets-cherry-pit flavor that perfumes Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese sweet breads.

5

Mastic

Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia

Aromatic resin "tears" wept by Greek pistachio relatives on the island of Chios — used in Greek ice cream, Turkish delight, and Lebanese pastries.

6

Sansho

Zanthoxylum piperitum

Japanese prickly ash — a citrusy, lip-tingling cousin of Sichuan pepper served alongside grilled eel and dusted on yakitori.

7

Wasabi

Eutrema japonicum

A Japanese mountain rhizome whose freshly grated paste delivers a fleeting nasal heat — and whose green tube imposters are almost always dyed horseradish.
