The Fascinating History of Seasonings

Spices have been used to add flavor to food and beverages for centuries, as evidenced by countless writings. They are mentioned in the Old Testament, the Gilgamesh epic, and ancient Chinese texts.

The Egyptians used spices in various ways. Archaeologists have found evidence of spices in excavations dating back to 3000 years before Christ in the tombs of pharaohs. Spices were used as perfumes, for preservation, and even for embalming the dead.

The spice trade during the Roman Empire was controlled by Arab merchants, who were known for their exceptional trading skills. They guarded the source of their spice treasures closely and charged a high price for their goods.

The spice market grew in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries due to the travel reports of Marco Polo, who wrote in detail about the spice plantations and trading places.

Spices have been used to enhance the flavor of food and drinks for centuries. They have been mentioned in ancient texts such as the Old Testament, the Gilgamesh epic, and ancient Chinese writings.

The Egyptians used spices for perfumes, preservation, and even embalming the dead. During the Roman Empire, Arab merchants had a monopoly on the spice trade and were known for their legendary trading skills. It was only thanks to Marco Polo's detailed travel reports that Europeans learned about spice plantations and trading places, leading to the growth of the spice market in the 13th and 14th centuries.

In the 15th century, the prices of spices rose to astronomical heights, and Spain and Portugal were in a race to discover a sea route to India. Vasco da Gama reached Calicut, the southern tip of India, on May 20, 1498, after a ten-month journey. He sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, along the East African coast to Malindi, and then to Calicut.

His way home was more exhausting than his trip to India, taking 1.5 years due to severe storms at the Cape of Good Hope and famines. He arrived in Lisbon on 09.09.1499, bringing many spice samples on board. Over the next 100 years, Portugal became the most powerful trading nation, owning many spice plantations in India and selling their merchandise cheaply in Europe.

In the 17th century, the Dutch contested the domination of the spice trade in bloody battles. In the 18th century, the English and other colonial powers came to India from other nations. On August 15, 1947, the Indians regained their independence.
