      abstract = {On both a volume and value basis, the United States is the  world's largest spice importer and consumer, with both  imports and consumption on an uptrend for the past 10  years. While the United States imports more than 40  separate spices, seven of these (vanilla beans, black and  white pepper, capsicums, sesame seed, cinnamon, mustard,  and oregano) account for more than 75 percent of the total  annual value of spice imports. While the United States  imports spices from more than 50 countries, 5 of these  countries (Indonesia, Mexico, India, Canada, and China)  regularly account for one-half of the annual value of spice  imports. The United States produces nearly 40 percent of  its annual spice needs, with imports supplying the  remainder. Growing domestic production consists of capsicum  peppers, mustard seed, dehydrated onion and garlic, and  herbs. U.S. spice exports have also been expanding in  recent years, led by dehydrated garlic and onion. Rising  domestic use of spices reflects growing Hispanic and Asian  populations, a trend toward the use of spices to compensate  for less salt and lower fat levels in foods, and heightened  popularity of ethnic foods from Asia and Latin America.},
