What are the top 10 spices? The question of the top 10 Spices requires the answer to the question top 10 what type of spices that is. Are we talking about the 10 most popular in the world or the most necessary in a kitchen?

What’s intriguing to me is that McCormick came out with a fancy gift set that basically accidentally answers that question.

The top 10 spices for every kitchen are as follows: Basil Leaves, Chili Powder, Cinnamon, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Oregano, Paprika, Parsley Flakes, and Crushed Red Pepper.

These are the ingredients for their holiday gift set of the 10 everyday herbs and spices for every kitchen. I imagine after a few decades since 1889. They’ve gotten used to what the top spices are based on their sales.

Sure this is a cute gift for anybody who wants to get that first-time home chef the basics, but I do find the concept rather interesting that this is also what they were determined to be, the top 10 herbs that basically every kitchen needs. I’m sure McCormick would love to mention the fact that these are cool designs and beautiful numbers, but throw that to the side as I find it fascinating that in every list of the top herbs that every kitchen needs, these ten have come up.

I literally went through dozens of websites to compare who had a top 10 list, and nearly everybody had these on their list.
