9-letter Spices that contain E

List of 9-letter Spices that contain E

1

Curry Leaf

Murraya koenigii

Glossy, fragrant leaves from a small South Indian tree — utterly different from "curry powder," and the soul of Sri Lankan and South Indian tempering.

2

Fenugreek

Trigonella foenum-graecum

A small, square, mustard-yellow seed with a maple-celery aroma — the secret behind that "curry house" smell and the soul of Indian methi dishes.

3

Liquorice

Glycyrrhiza glabra

A sweet, woody root with anise undertones — boiled down for candy in Scandinavia and chewed as a digestive across the Middle East.

4

Poppy Seed

Papaver somniferum

The tiny slate-blue (or pale white) seed of the opium poppy — used in baked goods worldwide and as a thickener in Indian curries.

5

Rose Petal

Rosa damascena

Dried petals of damask roses — used in Persian rice, Indian gulkand, Middle Eastern desserts, and the spice blend ras el hanout.

6

Star Anise

Illicium verum

The dramatic eight-pointed seed pod of a Chinese evergreen — sweeter and more potent than anise, and the defining note of pho and five-spice.
