Frequently Asked Questions About Spices and Salt

How is spices and salt different from seasoned salt?

How do you use spices and salt in cooking?

How can you make spices and salt at home?
To make spices and salt at home, combine salt with dry spices or herbs you enjoy. Make a small batch first, then store it in a clean, airtight container so moisture does not clump the mixture.
When should you add spices and salt to a dish?
Add spices and salt during cooking when you want the seasoning to blend into the dish. For a brighter aroma, reserve a little for the end, then taste before serving because the blend contributes salt as well as spice.
Can spices and salt be used as a dry rub?
Yes, spices and salt can be rubbed onto meat, fish, or vegetables before cooking. Coat the food lightly and account for the salt in the mixture, especially if the recipe also calls for a separate salty marinade or seasoning.
How should you store spices and salt?
Store spices and salt in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and steam. Keeping moisture out helps prevent clumping and preserves the aroma of the spices.

What is Spices and Salt?
Spices and salt combines salt with a varied mix of ground spices to season food. The exact blend can differ, so its aroma depends on which spices are used; it is a seasoning rather than a single recipe.
Add it while cooking or sprinkle a little over the finished dish. It works across everyday meals—from roasted vegetables, eggs and beans to meat, fish and soups—and can bring warmth and fragrance without needing several separate jars. Spices and salt is used in small amounts, so it is not usually a major source of energy in a meal; the spices also contribute fibre. Since the blend already contains salt, taste your food before adding more, or use a lighter hand if you want closer control of its saltiness.
