Abstract
The use of spices for seasoning food and beverages is an age long practise. Some of these spices are also known to have some medicinal values but there is paucity of information on the spices that are commonly used in this part of the country.A survey was therefore conducted to identify the spices, their medicinal uses, culinary uses and methods of preparation as seasoning agents. The survey has identified twelve (12) spices used for various purposes.Three of these spices (onion, garlic and ginger) were evaluated for their effects on haematological parameters (PCV, Hb, WBC and RBC) using 10% and 50% treatment in mice diet. The result shows that 10% treatment was better than 50% because there was significant weight gain and slight improvement on the haematological parameters studied especially with the ginger group.
