Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Pumpkin Spice, dear friends, is a combination of the glorious seasonal gifts from Mother Nature - a collection of precious spices - also known as medicinal herbs! As we season our cooking, rarely do we pause to reflect on the fact that culinary spices, just like ginseng and maca and gingko, do in fact have medicinal properties as well! Ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg… the components of the blend we know as Pumpkin Spice have their individual properties - all backed by science. So, rather than groaning at the flavor profile we have been inundated with, let’s embrace Pumpkin Spice for the botanical alchemy it truly is!
