List of 6-letter Spices that contain S

1

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.

2

Cassia

Cinnamomum cassia

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

3

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.

4

Sansho

Zanthoxylum piperitum

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

5

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.
