If you’ve been keeping up with us over the last month, you know that we are “Chasing BBQ” this summer. However, summer isn’t just for BBQ…Monday is the unofficial kick off to the grilling season. So, fire up the grill and toss on some of these summer feast favorites!
As you probably know, our world of spices and seasonings is nearly endless! While it’s true that we have extensive lines of salt-free blends as well as some truly amazing salts, one of the simplest ways to introduce flavor into your food is through seasoning salts.
The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and trees are beginning to bud—all of this can only mean one thing: spring is coming! As flowers begin to bloom outside, it’s the perfect time to break out of that wintertime cooking rut and bring some floral flavors into your kitchen.
Don’t know how to use flowers in your dishes? Don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through!
You’ve probably heard that you should brine a turkey for the juiciest results. We wholeheartedly agree! But a lot of folks are intimidated by the brining process. That’s why we created an easy-to-use Brining Mix. It’s the perfect blend of salt, sugar, and seasoning needed to brine a whole bird. We also offer a Holiday Turkey Brining Kit which includes 16oz. of Brining Mix plus two brining & roasting bags. We launched our Brining Mix last holiday season with easy-to-follow liquid brining instructions—dissolve the mix in liquid, submerge the turkey in the liquid, and leave it to brine overnight in the fridge.
It has come to our attention that pink peppercorns can be quite dangerous to people with tree nut allergies. We'd like to share some information with you about how we're addressing this with any products that contain pink peppercorns.
We are hearing from more and more customers these days that they have found they require a gluten free diet. We’re happy to say that this is an easy request to accommodate as our spice blends and straight spices are gluten free. We do not use any forms of gluten in our production facility.
Centuries before crude oil, there was a different “black gold.” Piper nigrum, or black pepper, has long been one of the most popular spices in the world. That seemed a very good reason to delve a little deeper into the prolific peppercorn.
Get a head start on barbecue season even if it’s too cold to fire up the grill! Last summer, we launched our own line of eight small batch barbecue sauces. Our sauces were inspired both by regional flavors, like Midwestern Sweet as well as by our signature seasonings like Black Dust Coffee & Spice. We’ve been guzzling the sauces all winter in slow cooker, stovetop, and oven-based recipes. Just goes to show you can enjoy the barbecue flavors of summer without even stepping outside.
