Today, we are offering up suggestions on some of our favorite spices - enjoy!
SpiceWalla Mom’s Taco Seasoning: I learned about this brand at the Natural Products Expo West, and I’m a big fan. Spice blends often contain flavors or preservatives, so be sure to read the ingredients. SpiceWalla doesn’t add any flavorings or preservatives and has some really fun blends - like Mom’s taco seasoning. Diana
SpiceWalla Amore Italian Seasoning: A great blend to have on hand for soups, stews, and sauces. Especially good in pizza sauces. - Dr. Weil
Flatiron Pepper Co. Red Pepper Flakes: This is another recent find. We add red pepper flakes to pretty much everything. Adding red pepper flakes at the end makes cooking with spice super easy because everyone can add however much/little they want. I also highly recommend their Hatch Valley Green Pepper Flakes! - Diana
WEIL Nutrition Corner™ Tip: Ground, dried spices taste best when used within 6-12 months, and whole spices can last 1-2 years. A good rule of thumb: If it smells weak, it won’t flavor your food well, and if the color is dull, it’s likely past its prime.
