Is there a "forgotten" spice or herb that should make a comeback?

We all know the big ones—garlic, basil, rosemary, etc.—but I feel like there are probably so many amazing spices and herbs that don’t get nearly enough love. Do any of you have a favorite “underdog” spice that you think people have kind of forgotten about? I’m on the lookout for some unique flavors to add to my cooking, especially if they’re cultural gems from other cuisines that don’t get mainstream attention. What’s your spice cabinet secret? 🌿✨
 
I think marjoram deserves a comeback! It’s like oregano’s milder, sweeter cousin, but no one talks about it anymore. Great in soups and roasts though! 🍲🌿:):)
 
You’re right—there are so many underrated herbs and spices out there! 🌍🌶️ One that often flies under the radar is sumac; it adds a lovely tangy flavor that can elevate many dishes! I’d love to hear more about other hidden gems—cooking is all about exploration! 🍽️✨
