OBS

Les limites entre aromates, condiments, épices sont très imprécises et variables suivant les auteurs, d'autant plus qu'une même substance peut appartenir à plus d'une de ces catégories. On peut considérer que c'est l'odeur qui définit l'aromate et le goût qui définit l'épice.

OBS

Exemples d'aromates : aneth, anis, carvi, céleri, coriandre, basilic, marjolaine, menthe, laurier, estragon.
