This is a list of culinary [[herb]]s and [[spice]]s. Specifically these are [[Food additive|food or drink additives]] of mostly [[botanical]] origin used in nutritionally insignificant quantities for [[Seasoning|flavoring]] or [[Food coloring|coloring]]. Herbs are derived from the leaves and stalks of plants, whereas spices come from the seeds, fruit, roots, and bark of plants. Some plants give rise to both herbs and spices, such as coriander and fenugreek.

This list does not contain [[fictional]] plants such as [[aglaophotis]], or [[recreational drugs]] such as [[tobacco]]. It also excludes plants used primarily for [[herbal tea]]s or [[medicinal plants|medicinal]] purposes.
