"Most spices are derived from bark, for example, cinnamon; fruit, for example, red and black pepper; seed, for example, nutmeg; or other parts of Herbs, trees, and shrubs. Herbs used in cooking are typically composed of leaves and stems. This makes for an easy way to distinguish Herbs from spices.
But can Herbs be spices and can spices be herbs?
Yes. Many Herbs are used to flavor foods, thus meeting the definition of a spice, and most spices can be used for medicinal purposes, thus meeting the second definition of an Herb."
