To put it another way, you can powder or roast the spices. Their flavor selection is really varied. Indian spices season meat and improve pickles. They add flavor to street food and savory foods. Tangy spices give fruits and salads a refreshing edge and invigorate the region’s fruit drinks.
Not surprising, India has become a major player in the world spice market. According to the Spices Board of India, it sells more than 200 spices and value-added goods to about 180 countries for a total of $4 billion (£1.1 billion). With a market value of an astounding $10 billion, the domestic market is the largest consumer in the world.
However, questions are now being raised about these well-known spices’ safety. Due to concerns about possible high amounts of the pesticide ethylene oxide, which causes cancer, Singapore and Hong Kong stopped selling several spices made by the Indian companies MDH and Everest last month.
