Okay so i've been looking for a list of spices that were never alive.

Here's my list so far
1. Salt
2. ______
3. ______
4. ______

cocaine

Zinc
Calcium
Mercury.

Bam. Call me Eneral

>calling a seasoning a spice

as spices or cooking aids?

Don’t know if specifically a spice, but alum is sometimes used as a cooking aide

Vinegar

Baking soda or powder. Not a spice but an ingredient.

Vinegar is old wine basically.

what

sugar

Shit.

Monosodiumglutamate
Or msg. They sell it at my local ethnic food store. I think badia makes it

Extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets.

False, Cocaine uses gasoline to be made which was once part of a prehistoric animal

Nope. It's derived from the sugarcane plant

Uranium

Radiation gives an odd, spicy/metallic taste.

it might be partially alive since ive met several people composed entirely of salt

And is derived from the Coca plant

>cream of tartar
formerly wine

>MSG
a synthetic route exists and was briefly used in mass production, but was previously hydrolyzed from wheat and today produced by bacteria

>no petrochemicals
Hard mode, eh?

1) Salt
2) Vinegar
3) Sal Ammoniac
4) Slaked Lime
5) MSG and various nucleotides

Salt some in a wide variety depending on type. Vinegar is fermented alcohol, so metabolic waste of metabolic waste, sal ammoniac is popular in Scandinavia for sweets and parts of the Middle east, Slaked Lime to change texture and flavor of starches maize in particular, msg and inositols and nucleotides used as flavor enhancers in prepared food the world over. Don't forget the huge number of artificial flavors science has made for us.

motherfucking red 42 nigger

The problem with OP is that salt is a broad category of things. There are many different kinds of salt(black, sea, pink, grey, regular iodized salt, etc).

>Slaked Lime
dead sea creatures.

You are going to be hard pressed to find much that meets these criteria since many many families of chemicals have natural synthesis routes or analogs in nature.

Salt is not a spice, it's a mineral. Spices have to have been alive

Salt is not a spice

Potassium Chloride is a great salt substitute. Very strong salt taste though, almost sour.

No I'm actually retarded and didn't realize that it was derived from a coca plant until pointed it out for me.

Smoke

Depends, there are also calcite deposits not from ancient sea beds. Calcite is made by many geological processes, it's every where.

I've always been partial to Yellow # 5

That's a good answer but OP gonna say the thing that made the smoke was alive.

Sal Ammoniac, inorganic and used as a spice

I prefer Sudan IV

Victoria Beckham. It's a little-known fact that she's a golem.

kek

can FD&C Blue # 1 get some love on this board?

Methamphetamine.

Gotta love it. It's what makes the green M&Ms aphrodisiacs

Lead acetate.

Cinnabar powder was also used in sweets by a bunch of rich deadfucks in the middle east during the latter middle ages.

This

I've spend many days straight consuming nothing else.

well fuck
