Spices were known to Eastern peoples thousands of 
years ago. Arab traders artfully withheld the true source 
of these spices, however, and they became valuable 
items of commerce early in the evolution of the spice 
trade. The most notable uses of spices in very early 
times were in medicine and in the making of holy oils. 
Belief in the healing power of spices filtered down, in a 
moderated form, into the Middle Ages and even into 
early modern times. It is not known when spices were 
first used in food. Certainly, the ancient Greeks and 
Romans used spices to flavour food and beverages 
because they discovered that spices helped to preserve 
foods, mask the flavour of partially spoiled meats, and 
also brought a change of flavour. Knowledge of the use 
of spices to preserve and flavour food slowly spread 
through Europe. Finally, in the last third of the 15th 
century, the Europeans decided to build ships and 
venture abroad in search of a route to the spice-
producing countries.
