Frequently Asked Questions About Dried herb and spice mix
How do you use a dried herb and spice mix?
A dried herb and spice mix can season soups, roasted vegetables, meat, fish, pasta sauces and marinades. Stir it into oil before coating vegetables, or mix it into yogurt for a quick dip. Add it gradually, since blends vary in strength and flavor.
What is in a dried herb and spice mix?
A dried herb and spice mix has no fixed recipe. It may combine herbs such as oregano, thyme, rosemary or basil with spices such as paprika, cumin or chili. The exact ingredients depend on the blend, so check its ingredient list if you need a particular flavor.
How do you make a dried herb and spice mix at home?
To make a dried herb and spice mix, combine dried herbs and ground or crushed spices that suit the foods you cook. Start with a few complementary flavors, such as oregano, thyme and paprika, then taste and adjust. Keep the homemade blend dry and sealed.
Can a dried herb and spice mix replace Italian seasoning?
Sometimes, but a dried herb and spice mix is not necessarily the same as Italian seasoning. Italian seasoning usually focuses on herbs such as oregano, basil and thyme, while other blends may include heat or warm spices. Check the ingredients before swapping it into a recipe.
When should you add a dried herb and spice mix while cooking?
Add a dried herb and spice mix early to soups, stews and sauces so its flavors have time to infuse. For quick-cooking dishes, stir it in near the start or mix it with oil before roasting. Avoid scorching the blend in a very hot, dry pan.
How should you store a dried herb and spice mix?
Store a dried herb and spice mix in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. Keep it away from steam, direct sunlight and the heat of the stove. Use a dry spoon so moisture does not clump the blend or encourage mold.
Does a dried herb and spice mix expire?
A dried herb and spice mix can lose its aroma and flavor over time, even when it stays dry. Discard it if you see mold or insects, notice damp clumps, or detect an unusual smell. If it looks and smells normal but tastes faint, use a little more.
Can you use a dried herb and spice mix instead of fresh herbs?
Yes, a dried herb and spice mix can replace fresh herbs in some recipes, but it will bring several flavors rather than one. Its aroma is more concentrated and less fresh-tasting. Add a small amount first, taste the dish, and adjust before serving.
How much dried herb and spice mix should you use?
Start with a small amount of dried herb and spice mix, then taste the dish before adding more. Blends differ in strength, and spices such as chili can quickly dominate. If the mix contains salt, reduce the other salt in the recipe to avoid oversalting.
Is a dried herb and spice mix the same as a seasoning blend?
Not always. A dried herb and spice mix describes a blend of dried flavorings, while a seasoning blend may also contain salt or other ingredients. Read the ingredient list to know what is in yours, especially before seasoning a dish that already contains salt.

What is Dried herb and spice mix?
Dried herb and spice mix is a seasoning made by combining dried leaves, seeds or other aromatic spices. The ingredients vary by maker and regional cooking tradition, so the name does not point to one fixed recipe. It is a convenient way to add layered flavour when fresh herbs are unavailable.
Its aroma may be grassy, warm, earthy or peppery, depending on the blend. Cooks stir it into soups, stews, sauces, roasted vegetables and marinades, or mix it with oil for a quick dressing. In many kitchens, a pinch is also added to eggs, beans or grains. The blend is concentrated, so start with a little and adjust to taste; if it contains salt, season the dish more lightly. It adds plenty of aroma and fibre relative to the small amount usually used.
