There’s nothing better than the aroma of baked goods, and with the colder months ahead—it’s time to get into the kitchen. With fall comes all the spices associated with this time of year, and these spices add flavor to stews, baked pies, cookies, and meats. These are the spices you should get to know.
Allspice
Available whole or ground—allspice is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Use it to add flavor to carrots, poultry, cakes, stews, soups, and breads.
Cardamom
Cardamom is a staple of Indian cuisine, and it adds a nice flavor to baked goods. It’s even better when paired with cinnamon, cloves, and chocolate.
Cinnamon

Cloves
You can get cloves whole or ground, and they taste amazing in carrots, potatoes, sweet breads, onions, coffee, and chocolate.
