I'm gonna stick my neck out and say pepper. Here's why. I went to Italy recently and my guide said oh that's a pepper tree and I bit into a leaf and there was the pepper taste. Point is pepper is fucking essential in seasoning. Salt isnt a plant it's just salt as in it's part of our bodies. But pepper is an actual plant with a distinct flavour that literally is in every savory food we eat.

Not an ingredient, but "Acidity" seems to be not used often

Bruno's the best

underrated... as far as spices it's clove for sure one of my favorites but not too common. It's definitly strong but it goes well in a lot of dishes.

if a spice doesn't qualify as an ingredient, uhhhh maybe hominy? It's an american thing so maybe people see it as lacking refinement but as an alternate startch component of a plate i really dig it. Not for every meal for sure but can't have rice, pasta, or potatos every meal.

Sugar or any kind of sweetener like honey can really bring out the flavour in savoiry dishes where you wouldn't expect sugar.

Lemon juice to add some acidity.

Cinamon in savoiry dishes, not nearly enough that you can taste a clear cinamon taste.
