Spices – Bracha when eating plain spices:[1]
Spices are not subject to a Bracha because they are not typically consumed on their own but rather used to season food. Thus, one does not recite a Bracha when consuming spices such as black pepper, cumin, curry, basil, oregano, or Za’atar. If a spice is cooked and made edible, the appropriate Bracha is Shehakol.
Salt: A small amount requires Shehakol. A large amount or a cup of salt water requires no blessing. See Chapter 13 Halacha 3.
[1] Seder 6:22; Ketzos Hashulchan 51:9
