Seasoning and spices are something that is commonly used worldwide for enhancing flavour and improving the characteristics of a food product. They are ingredients that can be added to food and in return, improve the taste, smell and texture of food to be consumed. Seasonings and spices are almost similar since seasonings are made with the combination of several spices and other components and are added when the food has finished cooking. Spices are added during the cooking process to increase or improve the flavour and texture of the food.

Seasoning and spices are essential to improve the cooking process and the food products. Seasoning improves the taste of food, modifies it to be better and can also add a completely new taste to the food. Seasonings can include salt, pepper, aromatic herbs, spices and bouquet garni, which are common and popular in cooking. Some fermented products that have impactful flavours and aromas are also existing in the market, including soy sauce, Nuoc mam, and many others. Some spices, herbs and aromatic plants have been proven to provide medicinal properties. For instance, Cinnamon is a great spice that is popular worldwide and is known for its properties of reducing blood sugar. Another popular health benefit is from ginger, which helps in the prevention and elimination of nausea and has proven to be good for the heart.
Spices are generally sold in the form of powder and dried form and are stored in glass jars or opaque tins. Ground spices tend to oxidize more quickly compared to other types of spices because of their large exposure area and can lose flavour within a few months. Whole spices can last up to a year since only less amounts are being used at a time. A few popular examples of spices that are used in the kitchens of restaurants and hotels include black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, cinnamon, oregano, rosemary, cayenne powder, cumin, nutmeg, and paprika.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow in the forecasted period of 2025-2030. Asia is one of the leading spices and herbs importer and consumers in the world. Most trade and consumption occur from developing countries and the average pricing of spices in Asia is half the price compared to that of Europe. It is expected for the Asia Pacific to hold the dominating position in the global seasoning and spices market and is expected to grow at a steady pace.
