Morocco has been a crossroad of trade for millennia, and thanks in part to the succession of Phoenician, Roman, and Arab traders, its merchants and cooks have thousands of years of experience using and trading in spices.Traders have brought spices from as far away as India and Indonesia via caravan and ship such essentials as nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and grains of paradise. Eventually, even New World spices like chile peppers found a home in Morocco¿s fertile soil. Of course much of the artistry in using spices is creating the right blends so that the final flavor is greater than the sum of its parts - such is the case of Ras El Hanout, "head of the shop" a blend that each spice merchant creates with as many as 21 spices and herbs, a blend that is essential to Moroccan cuisines.
