There aren’t many nutritional benefits to adding spices to food, and majority of countries in warm climate continents like Africa and Asia are known for their hotter spices. Why is it that areas with warm climates use hotter spices and cooler climates such as Antarctica and northern parts of Europe don’t?

Nothing grows in Antarctica. But, the things we find so delicious about herbs and spices are actually plant made bug and animal deterrents and the oils they’re housed in protect the plant from moisture loss during the hot/dry season. Local customs of food are based on what grew in the area.
