Spices that end with N

List of Spices That End With N

1

Ajwain

Trachyspermum ammi

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

2

Ceylon Cinnamon

Cinnamomum verum

The "true" cinnamon — delicate, papery quills of Sri Lankan bark with citrus-floral notes and far less of the punch of cassia.

3

Cumin

Cuminum cyminum

A ribbed brown seed whose warm, earthy aroma anchors the cooking of India, Mexico, the Middle East, and North Africa.

4

Green Peppercorn

Piper nigrum

Unripe pepper berries preserved in brine or freeze-dried — soft, fresh, and herbaceous compared to their dried-black cousins.

5

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.

6

Saffron

Crocus sativus

The dried red stigmas of the autumn crocus — gram-for-gram the world's most expensive spice and a defining note of paella, biryani, and bouillabaisse.
