I'm going to go with cumin (my 2nd choice) because I think a lot of others would pick chili peppers, so my cumin would be rarer and therefore more valuable when it came to bartering.

No; however, westerners who latch onto the word "umami" are best avoided.

Definition of Spice: an aromatic or pungent vegetable substance used to flavour food.

You are on a desert island which provides you with a supply of vegetables and fruit [and there is a supply of fresh water. You have salt, pepper, and garlic and onions/shalots. Admittedly, in culinary terms, you are in for a boring time. Nevertheless...

You can have just ONE spice.

What would it be?
Turmeric I think?

A very good choice, especially for its anti-inflammatory and other health-preserving/-improving properties.

Hmm. How exactly to categorize sugar? Tomatoes are tricky enough -- but sugar!
