Herbs and spices

[piggiemummy]

Hi all,

Fretting a bit about herbs and spices - obviously I know to look out for citric acid/sugar etc, but are things like garam masala okay? It's got tumeric, black pepper, cadamon, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and cumin.

Is there any massive no-no's on herb/spice front?

Many thanks in advance xx

apart from the obvious that you listed already just salt (water retention) as far as I'm aware
