The Deadly History of Spice

Your spice cabinet is the 16th-century treasure chest! One bottle of nutmeg could have bought you a whole country!! Ok, that might be an exaggeration but you get the idea. The desire for black gold peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, clove, and nutmeg literally changed the world. Colonization took off, global economies changed, and thousands of lives were lost. Oh yes, friend, the history of spice is dark and deadly. I promise you'll never look at a pumpkin since late the same after you listen to this episode.
