My=mine=kyeannpeppers This is my first ever lateral puzzle I've posted to this forum, so if it's really hard/easy, I'm sorry! The fact that I thought it up kinda late at night will probably contribute.

Is the spice commonly used in specific cuisines, and rare in others, or is it common in everyday use (black pepper, cinnamon?) is it derived from a berry? a root? a leaf? a fruit? could it more accurately be called an herb?
