Spices that contain K

List of Spices That Contain K

1

Black Cardamom

Amomum subulatum

A large, wrinkled, smoke-dried pod with a campfire intensity that lifts long-cooked meats and dals far from its delicate green cousin.

2

Black Pepper

Piper nigrum

The dried unripe fruit of Piper nigrum — the "king of spices" whose pungent heat shaped global trade routes and now sits on nearly every dinner table.

3

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.

4

Hungarian Paprika

Capsicum annuum

A spectrum of paprika grades from delicate sweet to fiery hot — the soul of Hungarian goulash, paprikash, and stuffed peppers.

5

Kaffir Lime Leaf

Citrus hystrix

The double-lobed, intensely citrus-perfumed leaves of a Southeast Asian lime — slivered into soups, curries, and stir-fries from Bangkok to Phnom Penh.

6

Pink Peppercorn

Schinus molle

Not a true pepper at all but the rosy berry of a Peruvian shrub — fragrant, sweet, and increasingly popular in modern cuisine.

7

Smoked Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Spanish pimentón dried over oak smoke for weeks — the campfire-deep red powder behind chorizo, paella, and patatas bravas.

8

Sweet Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Ground sweet bell-pepper-style chiles with rich color and little heat — the supermarket staple sprinkled over deviled eggs and goulash worldwide.
