According to Wikipedia:
A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for the purpose of flavoring, and sometimes as a preservative by killing or preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.
In the kitchen, spices are distinguished from herbs, which are leafy, green plant parts used for flavoring purposes.
So I'll be back a bit later in the week with a spice to learn more about and maybe a recipe that uses it.
