Usually spices are an ingredient used to season a dish in the meal during its preparation and condiments are for using at the table to enhance the dish as each individual's tastes prefer. You like ketchup on your hamburger, I like mustard, for example. A condiment is most often something involving some preparation on its own before using, like ketchup, relish, mustard or a special sauce. A spice is usually a single unprepared ingredient (e.g., nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, salt, pepper), but spices can also be made ahead as a mixture, like curry powder or chili powder.

Spices differ from herbs in that the herbs are typically the green leafy parts of the plant being used, while spices are the dried seed, bark or other plant part. For example, dill weed is an herb and dill seeds are a spice.

There is some cross over when it comes to spices and condiments using one main ingredient, depending on preparation. For example, prepared mustard that you use on your hamburger is a condiment (it is ground Mustard Seed combined with vinegar and other ingredients to make the spread), but whole mustard seeds and dry mustard powder, which is made from the ground seeds, would be considered spices.

Simple put herbs are unrefined seasonings either fresh or dried. Spices have been refined further such as ground, crushed or heated to release flavors these seasonings are more portable offer some longer storage. Condiments are seasoning preparations utilizing the very herbs and spices a blend that creates the final dish seasoning ready made in qunitity for easy consumption.

Spices are ingredients used to enhance or add flavor to a dish. They are mostly added during the cooking process. Salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and other like herbs are spices.

Condiments are usually added after the dish is finished. Condiments are normally sauces. Ketchup, mustard, relish, and tabasco are all examples of condiments. Condiments are usually there to enhance a dish based on a person's preference of taste (I may like chili on my hot dog while you may not).

Spices such as chili & salt have a little aroma and are used as a person's preference for taste.

Condiments such as coriander, ginger, mint, nut meg, garlic, safron etc. have lot of aroma and are used as flavouring material to inhance the quality of the food.
