When a recipe calls for a special combination of herbs or spices, it is very convenient to blend these ingredients beforehand. Blends such as chili powder, curry powder, herbs de Provence and garlic salt impart layers of flavor to a range of cuisines worldwide. Baking blends such as pumpkin pie spice and the British mixed spice, lend bold flavor to popular desserts.
The desire for blended spices has surged during this period in history, as people and families are cooking more now than ever before. The need to prepare home cooked meals and the new rituals of families enjoying adventures in the kitchen together has moved the spice industry to create exciting new blends to help “almost homemade” cooks have more flavor options to try in their creations. The result has led the way to more open interest in trying new combinations and unique new spices. Blends are the perfect companion to home cooking exploration.
Blended spices can be sprinkled on popcorn, roasted vegetables and baked potatoes, stirred into creamy soups and salad dressings, or used as a rub for fish, poultry and meat. There are several variations of blended spices that are available ready-made, but many chefs create their own signature blend for the perfect combination of flavors.
