Reply to comment by TheGreat_War_Machine in Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers used culinary seasoning in food preparation, according to analysis of the oldest charred food remains ever found by marketrent

I’d be curious if they did it for flavor or if they did it for its medicinal properties. Back then they were likely already connecting the dots between herbs and health.

At least in the context of this article, they said seasoning was likely for flavor purposes given that the seeds the paleolithics used still had their husks, which gave the end product a bitter taste.
