History of the Indian Spice - The history of Indian spices is as old as time itself! The earliest known evidence of use dates back to 5000 BC when farmers were using them to treat wounds and other injuries. In fact, some historians believe that these plants were first cultivated by farmers who needed a way to kill off pests without using any chemical pesticides.
This is why some people believe that Indian spices have been part of human life since long before humans even existed on this planet!
