Question
"I have a CWA cookbook and in a recipe to pickle beetroot an ingredient is whole spice. What is whole spice?"
— Laurel
Answer
As far as I know there is no one spice by this name, but rather it is the term for a 'whole' rather that a 'ground' spice. Some spices that come in this form are cumin, clove, mustard fenugreek and so on.
