What Are Spice Extracts?
Spice Extracts are concentrated liquids derived from spices, capturing the essential flavor, aroma, taste, and sometimes even colors. They are made by extracting the active compounds from whole spices using solvents.
So... what does this mean for your body?
Many commercial Spice Extracts have, "natural flavors" a term that can encompass a blend of over 100 different chemicals. Not only that, other leading spice brands use heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium because of "environmental" and "processing" factors. Some spice products also include vegetable or seed oils as binding agents, which are not always considered healthy. This isn't even the worst part. Additionally, some companies have been known to use ethanol and acetone (yes, nail polish remover) in their spices as a solvent to obtain spice flavors.
