What’s The Difference Between An Herb And A Spice?

The two terms are often used interchangeably, but there are technical differences. Herbs, which may be dried or fresh, come from the leafy part of a plant. Spices, usually used in dried form, are from the seeds, roots, fruit, or bark of the plant, and most happen to originate in tropical or semi-tropical regions. It’s possible for one plant to yield both an herb and a spice. For example, the coriander plant’s leaves are the herb generally known as cilantro, while coriander seeds are a spice in their own right.

That's interesting to know. I knew that there was a difference but never knew the exact differences between an herb and a spice. I love cilantro and coriander, yum!
