Most people who have read Medicinal Seasonings would like to increase their intake of spices. Their intention is not surprising as the evidence for the inclusion of a wide variety and quantity of spices in our diet is very convincing indeed.

However many individuals do not particularly like to eat great quantities of spicy foods and others may only like one or two individual spices. These non-spice eaters miss out on the health benefits of adding a wide variety of different spices to their meals.

Our taste preferences are imprinted into our brains in the first few years of life and so those of us born into communities where non-spicy foods predominate tend to eat primarily that type of food for the rest of our lives.
On the other hand those of us born into spice-eating societies continue to enjoy very spicy foods – and benefit from the health-giving properties of these important dietary components.

Those who do want to include more spices in their meals are often restricted by the food preferences of other members of the household who do not like spicy food. Or they may live in an institution where bland food is all that is provided by that particular establishment.
The obvious option for the many people who cannot (or will not) eat more spicy foods, but still want to benefit from their tremendous health promoting properties, is to take a spice supplement.
