So it&#8217;s time to spice things up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>COLORAU (URUCUM)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another spice that brings out the <em>cor<\/em> (color) of our food is colorau, a South-american type of shrub. Colorau, or urucum, consists of a <em>p\u00f3 avermelhado<\/em> (reddish powder) that originates from the <em>semente<\/em> (seed) of a fruit called annatto, so don&#8217;t be surprised if you find the product with this name too. With a <em>suave<\/em> (mild) and slightly <em>doce<\/em> (sweet) taste, the spice is not only great to season <em>alimentos<\/em> (dishes), but also for its anti-inflammatory and digestive health benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>COMINHO | <em>CUMIN<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Indian origin<\/span> spice has earned a secure spot in most Brazilian cabinets. Easily found in its powder form, <em>cominho<\/em> is widely used to season <em>carne, ensopados e molhos<\/em> (meats, stews and sauces). But be very careful when you use it, in addition to having a rather dominant flavor, it is also very delicate and can easily burn in the preparations where a<em> frigideira<\/em> (frying pan) is used.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8539\" style=\"width: 373px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8539\" class=\" wp-image-8539\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/10\/oregano-321033_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/10\/oregano-321033_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/10\/oregano-321033_640-350x263.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Or\u00e9gano seco (Photo by ariesa66 from Pixabay)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>OR\u00c9GANO | <em>OREGANO<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our habit of using oregano in our cooking dates back to when a large community of Italian immigrants migrated to Brazil in the 19th century. You will most likely find this <em>erva<\/em> (herb) in dehydrated form, though you can easily find it <em>fresco<\/em> (fresh) in <em>feiras<\/em> (farmer&#8217;s markets). It goes well not only with the iconic tomato sauce, but also in recipes for salads, <em>queijo, carne, peixe e frango<\/em> (cheese, meat, fish and chicken).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>NOZ MOSCADA | <em>NUTMEG<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Versatile yet packed with<em> sabor<\/em> (flavor) and aroma, did you know that here a <em>noz moscada<\/em> (nutmeg) is also used not only in <em>pratos salgados<\/em> (savory dishes), but also in sweets and even <em>bebidas<\/em> (drinks)? Well, this spice has a mildly sweet taste and a scent that highlights <em>o gosto<\/em> (the taste) of poultry, soups, purees, cheese, jams and even in cappuccinos, coffee and<em> quent\u00e3o<\/em> (our version of mulled wine). But be careful when using nutmeg in your <em>receitas<\/em> (recipes), because it can cause food poisoning<\/span> in larger quantities.<\/p>\n<p><b>FOLHA DE LOURO | <em>BAY LEAF<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>A folha de louro<\/em> (the bay leaf) is that herb that simply must be present whenever we cook<em> feij\u00e3o<\/em> (beans). This spice is most easily found in its dehydrated form. In addition to going well with several bean dishes, such as the <em>feijoada<\/em> itself, the bay leaf is also used for<\/span> meat marinades, or for the preparation of stews, broths and soups. Remember to remove the leaf at the end of the preparation, as only its aroma and flavor are necessary for that especial kick.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you already know any of these essential spices in Brazilian cuisine?
