When we launched The Expat Cookbook, we got a few questions about the Uruguayan Spanish words for some of the herbs and spices used in our recipes.
So, we decided to put together a page of English to Uruguayan Spanish translations for the herbs and spices used in The Expat Cookbook (and a couple others we use regularly). If you think of something you would like added to the table below, please feel free to contact us.
English | Uruguayan Spanish |
Basil | Albahaca |
Black Pepper | Pimenta Negra |
Cayenne | Pimienta de Cayena |
Chives | Cebollino |
Crushed Red Pepper | Aji Molido |
Cumin | Comino |
Dill | Eneldo |

Ginger | Jengibre |
Marjoram | Mejorana |
Onion Powder | Cebolla en Polvo |
Oregano | Orégano |

In addition to questions about the Uruguayan Spanish words for these herbs and spices, we received questions about where you could buy some of the ingredients we used.
