Description
Summary:This long-running online exhibit exploring the natural history and uses of spices is rather dated in appearance, having first been mounted in 2002 and showing no evidence of later updating. It presents a useful gathering of information on spices as flavorings and as medicines in the same place. The short introductory essays in the Learning about Spices section are informative at a relatively basic level, if not compellingly written, and the timeline is similarly simplified and broad. It is a decent enough resource for a junior high or high school paper, perhaps, but not for in-depth research.
