Spices are the best ingredient in cooking different cuisines. This makes the cuisine more delicious and craving because of the fragrance.

I love to cook and I'm addicted to spices, but I still want to know the best spices used in cooking. What's the best spice do you prefer and why?

Even I can't do cooking without elaborate range of spices. Turmeric powder, different chillies, cloves at times, mustard, ginger dried or fresh, garlic and many more. List is long.

Garlic is one of my favorites, it adds deeper flavor to many dishes. I use both fresh garlic and garlic powder. Black pepper is also good, but in moderation. I add some when I cook steaks. Chilly pepper is something you need to be even more careful with.

Yes there is long list like mentioned in above posts. I would like to add cinnamon to the list. It tastes great!

I don't think any spice is leftout. Everything is already mentioned by our senior members. Good job guys.
