  • The Spice Trail
    The Spice Trail Teacher resource Year 4 Education @ Adelaide Botanic Garden 1 Taste and Variety It is hard to imagine how boring, tasteless and dangerous food was before the year 1500. The age of exploration changed all that and was considered so important that the year Christopher Columbus went to the Americas is considered by many people to be the beginning of the Modern Age. Newly discovered foods helped people have tastier, safer food and increased variety. One of the claims made about Botanic Gardens is that you can travel the world in any one of them. So follow the Botanical Treasure map on a voyage around the world, through the tropics and the deserts to find the spices we use in our modern lifestyle. Inquire about the life on a ship in 1490. Why was rum added to the drinking water and why was citrus eaten? Discover where the flavours of vanilla and chocolate come from. There is no question as to why they were so valuable! But most of all dispel the myth that the motivation of all early European explorers was swashbuckling adventure and a quest for cities of gold. The more common cause was to break the overland trade route blockade controlling and restricting the flow of spices initially by the Arabs and later the Venetians into Europe. For the first people to open the sea routes the prize was much greater than gold and jewels – it was spices! At one point 1Kg of spice was worth more than 1kg of gold. But think…we can’t make new gold.
