Seasonings are ingredients used to enhance the flavor profile of a dish, emphasizing and bringing out its distinct taste. These may consist of a variety of flavor profiles such as salty, acidic, spicy, pungent, or sweet.
While commonly associated with salt and pepper, the term “seasoning” encompasses a broad range of herbs, condiments, and other flavor-enhancing ingredients added to dishes. Its purpose is to elevate and enhance the overall taste. Seasoning preferences can vary according to individual tastes, but it is advised to exercise moderation, considering those who may not appreciate heavily seasoned cuisine.
