75+ Spices Names in English with Pictures
We all know how hard it is to remember what each type of spice is called in English. The names can be so different from one another and they’re not always intuitive. So you end up looking at the bottle for a while until you figure out which one it is. It’s even worse if there aren’t any images on the bottle because then you have no idea what kind of shape or colour it might be!
This list will help make sure that doesn’t happen again! I’ve put together 75+ spices with their English names and pictures that should cover most types of cooking needs (and hopefully some other ones too). If you notice anything missing please feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll add them ASAP! Enjoy 🙂
