This page brings together 10 spices that start with the letter F, running alphabetically from “Fennel” to “Furikake”. These seasonings come from many corners of the world, from the Mediterranean and South Asia to China, Japan, and the American South. Some are single seeds or leaves, while others are blends that mix several flavors into one. You’ll find them used to season meats, breads, curries, rice, soups, and even popcorn, adding warmth, sweetness, bitterness, or rich savory depth to everyday cooking.

Spices are the dried seeds, roots, leaves, and barks that cooks use to add flavor, aroma, and color to food. People have traded them across continents for thousands of years, and some, like furikake in Japan, were created simply to make a bowl of plain rice taste better.
