Spices are the most antioxidant-rich of all food types and they contain other important compounds that have had profound health benefits on mankind throughout the ages. The evolution of spices in our diets is a fascinating story that shows how important spices are to our health as much today as they were eons ago.

Thousands of years ago our hunter/gatherer forebears were forced to adapt to a wide range of climatic and other environmental conditions. Thus, before agrarian societies developed, humans consumed a wide variety of plant species. Some of these plants contained the basic macro and micronutrients needed for survival (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals). Many of the pungent, stronger-tasting, and richly coloured plants also contained an array of "non-nutritive compounds" that had profound health benefits.

Today we know that the piquant flavours and bright colours characteristic of spices are hallmarks of the important phytochemicals these plants contain. The resilience that characterizes many spice plants means that, during times of famine, pestilence and drought, these are often the last edible plants to survive. When taken alone many of them may be very unpleasant to eat. However, these foods, in the absence of tastier alternatives, were frequently the only forms of nourishment available to our ancestors. This was a fortuitous dietary hardship and one which resulted in unwitting, but important, self-medication.

However when agrarian communities began to form, the variety of plant species consumed by these societies decreased and they became dependent on a small selection of crops and a limited variety of wild plants. As our forebears were forced to eat "spicy" foods out of necessity, they probably enjoyed the intense flavors of these plants. Another factor that influenced their palatability was the relative strength of flavors between different foods.

To understand this, it is necessary to consider that most of the fruit and vegetable species eaten by early societies were stronger tasting and less sweet than they are today. In fact, the majority of modern plant-food cultivars bear very little resemblance to those varieties that grew thousands of years ago: the bitter, sour and astringent flavors that characterized fruits such as apples, melons, pears and many others have been bred out by generations of selective propagation.
