Dried Spices Ideas
Dry doesn't have to mean dull. Flavored powders from American Spice add flavor to your recipes while saving you space in the pantry. Use flavored powders as seasoning mixes for your marinades and rubs or to add more spice to your chili or curry. Flavored powders can even be used in breads and batters to create sweet or salty crusts on your favorite breads. Add cheddar cheese powder to your garlic bread for extra cheese goodness.
Use flavored powders to liven up the taste of your snack mixes, meat rubs, or sauces. Try the Gebhardt chili powder to turn up the heat on your favorite chili or chip dip. Or, the red wine vinegar powder adds that classic twang to your marinades or pasta sauces. Add it to a meat rub for a unique flavor profile on your steaks. If you're looking for some food coloring that isn't an artificial dye, add beet powder to your frosting or cookies for a beautiful red color you don't have to feel guilty about.
Flavored powders mainly consist of the dried or dehydrated version of the original item. Flavored powder and dried spices have a long shelf life and don’t have to be stored in the refrigerator. Most just mix with water or can be directly sprinkled into the recipe. There’s no need to run out to the grocery store for a perishable item, when you’ve stocked up on dried spices and flavored powders in your cupboard.
Stock up for bad weather or camping trips with powders that don’t have additives and mix well into batter. Try Mushroom Powder (consisting of a blend of Shiitake, Porcini and Bolete mushrooms), Buttermilk Powder(dehydrated buttermilk), Whole Powdered Eggs (dried powdered eggs), and Premium Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder (pure cocoa powder).
