How did it impact history?
If the Romans didn't come up with pepper as spices for food we probably wouldn't use pepper on are food. Also if the Romans and the Greeks didn't use pepper to reserve there food. We probably wouldn't have a refrigerators to preserve our food today or at least it would have been invented later on in history. Just think that we wouldn't use pepper or salt to put on are food. The Greeks also used it as medicine so it was kinda the start of allergy medicine.
Oil from Cloves were used as a powerful antiseptic and a remedy for toothaches. It still is still sometimes used as a tropical anesthetic in dentistry. If the Chinese didn't use it back then we probably wouldn't use it to numb are toothaches.
Nutmeg was used by the Chinese to help treat rheumatism and stomach pains, and in Southeast Asia for dysentery or colic. If they didn't use nutmeg to help with stomach pains we probably would't have stomach medicine or at least it would have been later on in history.
