    Food keeps cooking in the latent heat of the cooking pot even after it’s been taken off the heat and so whole spices are not usually removed from food unless the spices are in a bouquet garni, in which case the spice bundle is removed just before serving.

    Leaving the whole spice in also helps people who are allergic/ intolerant to a particular spice to avoid the dish.

      I don’t think allergies are a reason cited for leaving them in … but maybe they should be. That’s a brilliant observation.
