Explorers wanted to buy spices, primarily from the Indies, as they were highly sought after for cooking, medicine, and economic gain. The quest for these spices drove explorers like Vasco da Gama to find direct trade routes, contributing to significant wealth for their nations. Additionally, the exploration sometimes involved the acquisition of manpower for labor in new colonies.
