There are over 80 spices grown in different parts of the world and around 50 spices are grown in India. The climate of the country is suitable for almost all spices. A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor, color, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth.
