Whole spices are dried aromatic plant parts used primarily for flavoring, seasoning, and enhancing the taste of various dishes. Unlike ground spices, whole spices retain their original form, which allows them to impart a more subtle and complex flavor profile to dishes. The health benefits of spices are varied. They help make up for nutritional supplements, help strengthen the immune system and help control blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels. Spices also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and they help prevent various diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer.

Toast Whole Spices Before Grinding Them
Toasting can really bring out a new layer of flavors in spices. Cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and most other “warm” spices can really benefit from good toasting before you grind or crush them, especially if using them in an application like soup or a puree, where they won’t be roasted with the dish. It’s super easy, and really ups the flavor, you just need to throw your spices in a dry pan (no oil) and heat. Shake the pan every now and then to avoid burning. For a light toast, remove the pan from the heat as soon as you smell the spice fragrance wafting through the air, and immediately pour the spices onto a cool, flat place. If you want to add a little smokiness and deeper flavor, keep the seeds in a pan over the heat until they darken in color and the fragrance becomes a little heavier. Then immediately remove to a cool, flat place.
Spices play a significant role in the way we cook and consume food around the world. Every spice has its own flavoring and essence, and its addition or omission can literally make or break a dish. There are many spices we use in our day to day cooking, these include popular ones like cumin, black pepper, turmeric and coriander seeds. In the ancient times, India attracted traders from remote parts of the world in search of exotic spices. Many of these traders went back with their share, while some even settled down and brought in some of their home-grown spices. Such is the role of spices in Indian culture. Spices are known to have several health benefits; in fact it's the addition of a bouquet of spices, that make traditional Indian home-cooked food one of the healthiest meals eaten around the world. Spices come with notable nutritional values and provide some major health benefits.
