The Geography of Spices and Herbs

Spices are one of the best part of eating. But just like fruits, every spice has a different story to be told. Today we're diving into the geography behind this miracle of nature and human ingenuity.

    @Anglo-Celtic Mega Nationalist A lot of people do. I rather the fish and chips. There is something clean about eating a dinner that is made of three things. Sometimes we want simple. Indian food, if eaten enough, tends to just run together. That and a lot of Indian folks don't really know a lot about moderation, especially the older folk. My wife's dad went from one of the best cooks in the town to he solely uses blazing hot red chili powder and salt - lots of salt.

    U can find vanillin compounds in wood. It's similar to how aging alcohols like whiskey, tequila, or rum in different regions like the Caribbean, Oaxaca Tennessee, and the Scottish highlands can infuse unflavored spirits with essences of wood char, oak, and even vanilla, without separate flavoring agents.

It's mind blowing to think of our tiny in-the-middle-of-nowhere region's role in history. It's hard to believe how much anguish and suffering has been caused by the search for our spices, spices that grow nowhere else (cloves and nutmeg). I loved coming home from school and passing through roads where people bake these spices under the blistering sun, they're super fragrant. And of course are a wonderful addition to our cuisine 😊

    There are so many other spices we use in India that's not as popular as the ones you mentioned. For e.g. Long pepper, asafoetida, black stone flower, Nigella seeds, cardamom, Ajwain, jakhiya, alkanet root, kokum, pomegranate seeds, dried kapok buds etc.. if you ever thought you were tired of eating Indian food, you had never had true Indian food. Unfortunately, restaurants don't serve that. You need to know some old granny from rural areas to experience these intricate tastes.

Its the reason so many of us can be vegetarian all our lives so happily - most flavours come from spices not meat. its actually crazy how restricted the taste variety in europe and northwest europe is in comparison to even just one state in the indian subcontinent e.g. punjab let alone the rest.

    great video! maybe you can make a part 2 video of some other, less-known spices? like in southern tip of india we use a spice called "kalpaasi" literaly - stone algae. i think it's english name is stone flower. its a form of lichen that makes this undescribable umami taste, but is also super fragrant. authentic south indian curries use this spice in abundance, especially meat and chickpea curries. other unique spices of the south include kodumpuli, kanthari milagu, etc. there are many other spices used in the entirety of india very commonly like poppy seeds, asafoetida. in the north, they use dried forms of leaves and fruits as spice. like aamchur and anardana - dried mango and pomegranate - for tanginess, and kasuri methi - dried fenugreek leaves - for an amazing earth smell. also, you COMPLETELY FORGOT TAMARIND! another super common spice used to get a tangy taste in south indian curries. in the north they use lemons and aamchur, but in south they mostly use tamarind. of course you also forgot super common spices used all over the world like cardamom i'm sure there are so many other unique and uncommon spices all around the world that you can add into a seperate video.

    I mean south asia did introduce Buddha and Hindu to southeast asia countries so it would make sense if they also spread spices and herbs and in the Malay archipelago (Indonesia) was a trading market point between India and China so that's why they got colonized by Portugal and Dutch bc of the spices (which basically at those centuries are like oil and gold in modern world)

    @@Kushiyunko that's incorrect as we did have a role to spread things to the Chinese and Indians just as much as they had spread their influences to us. Please consider context and origins. Things like rice, aside from native southeast Asian-only spices, spread to both India and china. Rice is the biggest example of non-spice influence. Starting with the ancestors of modern southeast Asians today, and to the point that most of the world knows "china" as its origin. (No, Han Chinese were originally wheat consumers, not rice) Certain vegetables and herbs are only used by southeast Asians and therefore also spread to south India for example. Our banana leaves and coconut are an influence to southern India.

There are many things that SEA sent to the world and India/China reciprocate it by giving things to us too. So it's more like barter. This is how the world works. SEAsians back then just so happened to find the ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism interesting and profitable for trading since traders occasionally are much more loose to people with the same faith. (Then India proceeded to destroy that with the nonsense about "Those who ventured out of India are not going to reach nirvana whatnot" which essentially despising overseas trading and people, making Hinduism influences became weaker and weaker, which caused current day Indonesia and Malaysia became the way it is now, muslim-majority.)

    Vanillin is a derivative of lignin, which is the main component of paper and wood. To put it simply, if you just let paper age, it is going to accumulate vanillin, as it slightly decomposes. A bronze age container being covered in vanillin is more likely than not the result of some really old papers stored inside of it. Olive oil containing vanillin is more likely than not the result of some really old wood for the wooden barrels the oil was stored in.

    Despite living in the country with dozens types of spiceS, Vietnam(also in SEA), I still have to buy imported spices from Europe, India and other countries to increase the diversity of the tastes. It's probably because my foods consists of a lot of legumes and SEA spices alone aren't enough to make the dishes tasty, whereas a typical Vietnamese dish is animal based(with mainly pork and eggs). While other people use mainly simple spices like peppers, onions, garlic, sauces like fish sauce and soy sauce, I use other spices like gingers, tumerrics, paprika, cumins, basils, thymes, rosemery, oregano, sage, nutritional yeast, sesame, etc etc. I am talking about home cooked foods, not culinary masterpieces served in restaurants. So don't underestimate Mediterrenean spices or Indian spices. With proper combination, your meal might consist of spices from all over the world if desired. SEA spices are only a small part of these spices.

    Coming in late but I have an idea regarding the finding of vanillin in the bronze age tomb. Lignin, a major component in wood is made up of thousands of aromatic molecules. When lignin breaks down vanillin is one of the possible breakdown products as its chemical structure is very close to the chemical structure of the three main phenolic building blocks of lignin. Basically, as wood breaks down some vanillin is produced and it's one of the components of the pleasant smell of old wood. The presence of vanillin in these tombs may be a consequence of wood breaking down through millenia.

In areas with seasons you fiɡure its ɡoinɡ to be around 55° or less for half the year (half of if not most of sprinɡ and fall as well as all of winter) They could also diɡ subterranian storaɡe wholes. Here even in the summer the temp stays even. Finally there's all sorts of ways to preserve meats such as smokinɡ, which they would litteraly stick the meat in a chimney to coat it with smoke, salt which is a mineral not a seasoninɡ, honey, or even coatinɡ the meat in fat like we do still to this very day with sausaɡe.

    I agree 100% he mentions Cayenne and Paprika as two different species but they come from the same plant Capsicum annuum which also Bell peppers, Jalapenos, Serranos etc come from and grows in North and South America most cultivated type. But the really spicy stuff come from Capsicum chinense which was used in the yucatan this hot pepper is used alot in carribean, african and indian while Capsicum frutescens which is more from central and south america is used in a lot of Chinese, Thai. He should mention also Tomatos come from Mexico which is heavily used as a spice when concentrated

    Correct! And there is proof of this in Asian and European genetics (we may look different from each other but there was a lot of cross exchange and intermixing between our cultures). The farming cultures and Indo-Europeans that spread westward to Europe from India in the neolithic era also brought spices with them and cultivated them in Europe. And thousand years later even the vikings traded for spices.

    The existence of Vanillin in old word tombs does not necessarily indicate contact. Vanillin is pretty common and is found in many plants, it just occurs in way higher concentration in vanilla beans. Oakwood has some amounts of vanillin, which is way matured whiskies often get a vanilla note from drawing it out of the wooden cask. It is possible that ancient people found another plant source for vanillin and managed to extract it. Perhaps said plant went extinct like silphium did.
