The text names cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice, and traces their origins to places including Sri Lanka, Indonesia’s Spice Islands, and Jamaica. It describes how these distant spices were once extremely valuable, requiring long ocean travel by sailors to buy them.

That cozy smell floating up is not really pumpkin at all! It comes from a mix of spices, and each one traveled a very long way to reach your fork. The spices are cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice.  \nThose five spices did not grow in a kitchen down the street. Cinnamon comes from the curly bark of a tree that grows in a warm island country called Sri Lanka. Nutmeg and cloves grew far away on islands in Indonesia, which people once called the Spice Islands. Allspice is a little brown berry, and it grows on the sunny island of Jamaica.  \nBecause these spices grew so far away, they were once as precious as gold. Long ago, sailors packed their ships and traveled across the ocean for months just to buy them. So a tiny bag of nutmeg could cost more than a farmer earned in a whole year! When the spices finally arrived, only rich families could afford to sprinkle them on their food.  \nOver time, ships and trains made those spices cheaper, so more people could buy them. Cooks began stirring them into pumpkin pie every autumn, and the warm smell became a sign that cold weather was near. Today you can find that same blend in muffins, cookies, and even frothy drinks. So the next time you smell pumpkin spice, remember it is really a tour of islands halfway around the world!  \nWhere Pumpkin Spice Comes From  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What surprising fact does the passage share about the smell of pumpkin pie?\u003Cbr>A.
