A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, leaf, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for the purpose of flavor, color, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth.

If salt is considered a mineral, then most chefs consider pepper as the master spice, even though salt is the most widely used seasoning.
