Seasonings bring out the flavors in food and add complementary tastes, all to enhance the eating experience. Typically what people think of when speaking of salt and pepper is white, granulated salt and pre-ground black pepper. But these are far from the only kinds of salt and pepper that exist. Rock salt is a great salt variation, with larger crystals for a bigger punch. Sea salt is cherished by many as a more natural culinary salt.

There's also Kosher, iodized, pickling and black salt, among others. The assortment of peppers to explore is at least as vast, with chili pepper, jalapeno pepper, habanero pepper, cayenne pepper and innumerable others, even white pepper, each with its own degree of spiciness and its own subtle flavor distinctions. It's not uncommon to serve dishes unseasoned with a shaker of salt and a grinder full of peppercorns on hand. Pepper may be sold in flakes or ground into a powder. Salt, with the exception of rock salt, is usually granulated.

Herbs are usually the fresh or dried leaves of succulent plants that tend to grow in particularly temperate climates. Spices generally refer to any seasoning made from the other parts of the plant besides the leaves, including the roots, stems, bark, seeds, fruit or buds.

That said, these descriptions are not definitive, as chefs everywhere will use the two terms differently. The leaf of a plant is used as a culinary herb, while any other part of the plant often dried seeds, bark or roots is a spice. Keep in mind that herbs can be used both dry and fresh; spices are only used in their dry form. Although whole spices and herbs can have a shelf life of up to 3 years, they gradually lose flavour over time.

To keep them tasting their best, purchase in small quantities and store in glass jars with metal lids in a cool, dark place.
