Many cooks insist on grinding their own whole spices and herbs. They claim this allows greater control over the texture of the finished product. It is believed that the spices prepared in this fashion have a greater impact or “signature” on every dish they are added to. Breaking the husk of the spices or herbs releases the flavors trapped inside ensuring a freshness that is unsurpassed. Here at American Spice Company we stock a variety of Mortar and Pestle sets. This ancient tool has been used for centuries and is even considered a work of art. Purchase one for the budding chef at your house or surprise them with an American Spice Gift Certificate to select one of their own. Classic Meat Loaf is a main course many have eaten since they were children. Recipes for this iconic dish come in as many varieties as the people who prepare them. Insist on only the freshest food spices. One taste and you’ll notice the difference.
