Whois & Analysis for glenbrookfarm.com

A spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavoring, coloring or preserving food.

Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are the leaves, flowers, or stems from plants used for flavoring or as a garnish.

Sometimes, spices may be ground into a powder for convenience.

Many spices have antimicrobial properties.

This may explain why spices are more commonly used in warmer climates, which have more infectious diseases, and why the use of spices is prominent in meat, which is particularly susceptible to spoiling.

Spices are sometimes used in medicine, religious rituals, cosmetics or perfume production, or as a vegetable.

An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants.

Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove.

An oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.

The term essential used here does not mean indispensable as with the terms essential amino acid or essential fatty acid which are so called since they are nutritionally required by a given living organism.

In general use, herbs are any plants used for food, flavoring, medicine, or fragrances for their savory or aromatic properties.

Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs from spices.

Herbs refers to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), while spices are produced from other parts of the plant (usually dried), including seeds, berries, bark, roots and fruits.

In industry they are also used in textile spinning and are important components of some lubricants.

Metal soaps are also included in modern artists' oil paints formulations as a rheology modifier.
