This is an attempt at a (fairly) comprehensive list of world spices. Feel free to suggest anything missing. Please note that spices are typically defined as dried seeds, fruits, berries, roots, rhizomes, bark, resin, flowers or buds, as opposed to green leaves which are usually considered herbs.
Fresh root ginger, galangal and horseradish are not included here as they are considered vegetables. Similarly, I haven't included fresh garlic.
