Okay, Semi-Pro opinion here....( I do have a Leather Mallet for this stuff)
Herbs- Leafy or deciduous part of a plant, (the part that dies when it
freezes)
ie Sage, Sorrel, Oregano, Basil, Rosemary (yes the "needles" do
fall off)
Spice- Seeds, fruits or other non deciduous plant parts
ie Cassia (cinnamon is Cassia tree bark)
Mace (Aril covering of Nutmeg the seed of a nutmeg tree)
Peppercorns (the seed of a vine)
Mustard is a SPICE because it's a seed.
Ginger ( a rhizome, you can grow a ginger plant from fresh
ginger races)
My Laurel will bonk me on the
head if I'm wrong,

p.s. Mum probably won't whack me, but I will get a good talking to if wrong.
