List of Spices That Contain W

1

Ajwain

Trachyspermum ammi

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

2

Brown Mustard Seed

Brassica juncea

Smaller, darker, and far hotter than yellow seed — the workhorse of Indian tempering and the spice that gives Dijon its bite.

3

Caraway

Carum carvi

Dark, curved seeds with a bracing earthy bite — the signature flavor of rye bread, sauerkraut, and Eastern European cooking.

4

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.

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.

6

White Pepper

Piper nigrum

Fully ripe peppercorns with the dark husk removed — softer, earthier, and prized in pale sauces where black flecks would distract.

7

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.
