Garlic: (Powder, Granules, Minced Flakes): Even the earliest cooks and healers considered garlic powerful and indispensable, but when it was introduced in the United States in the 1700s, garlic was slow to catch on.

It’s helpful to know that mustard doesn’t become really hot until a non-acid liquid (preferably cold) is added to the seed. (Water will release the heat, but vinegar won’t, for example.) The best way to fully release the flavor, then, is to mix the seed with warm water for about ten minutes before adding it to a recipe. To stop the development of the flavor, on the other hand, you can add an acidic liquid, like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine, to your recipe.
To make your own condiment, mix ground mustard with vinegar and water (to suit your taste).

Paprika (Organic, Hungarian, Spanish-Smoked): A sweet but sassy relative of the chili pepper, paprika is used to add warm, natural color and mildly spicy flavor to soups, stews, grains, and a variety of hors d’ouvres. Domestic paprika has a fresh, green quality, while the Spanish variety is more pungent and the Hungarian is more lively. Spanish and Hungarian paprikas have become more alike, though, as the Hungarian peppers are now bred to taste more like the sweeter Spanish peppers. Hotter paprikas are now often obtained by adding cayenne to the powder to punch up the heat.

Parsley, dried: With a bright green color and a mild, fresh flavor, Parsley is a must-have for the pantry. Use it to flavor soups, vegetables, sauces, dressings, eggs and any potato dishes.

It’s also a crucial component of spice blends like fines herbes, bouquet garni, and herbs de Provence.

Can be used as a replacement for sun-dried tomatoes and works great to thicken pizza and spaghetti sauces.

Tumeric: Turmeric’s warm aroma, bright color, and gingery/peppery taste are relied upon in cooking throughout Asia. It’s best known as the spice that gives curry powder its distinctive color.

Urfa Pepper Flakes (Vann's):  Because of the presence of the stems and seeds, Urfa is hotter than Marash or Aleppo peppers. This spice has high essential oil content, an aroma of dried fruits and tobacco, and a rich earthiness flavor.

Vanilla Beans: (not sold in bulk) Vanilla beans are an expensive spice, in part because of their labor-intensive cultivation and curing. Only Mexican bees and hummingbirds can pollinate the plants naturally, so it’s done by hand, using a bamboo splinter. By the way… You can use a vanilla bean more than once. Simply rinse and dry it between uses. But don’t store your vanilla beans in the refrigerator, because they may mold there; place it in a dry spot. A tasty option is to place your vanilla bean in a small container of sugar. The vanilla bean will lend its flavor and aroma to the sugar.

Veggie Pepper Seasoning Blend: A convenient, flavorful, all-purpose organic blend of black pepper and veggies.

Vindaloo (Vann’s): Vindaloo is a Southwest Asian sour curry that is especially good on strong-flavored meats such as venison, duck, bluefish, pork, or lamb. Traditionally used on goat, add the spice mixture to vinegar and marinate your meat.

Worcestershire Powder (Vann's):  A dry version of the liquid meat seasoning with a hint of smoke. Great for barbecue rubs or add to salad dressings. It covers the full range of the palate with salty, sour, bitter, and sweet.

Xanthan Gum (Bob's Red Mill):  Xanthan Gum is an essential ingredient for gluten free baking. It acts as an emulsifier and a binder, and adds volume to gluten free breads, cookies, cakes, and other baked goods.

Xylitol (Now Foods):  This naturally occurring sugar alcohol is one of the most unique sweeteners you’ll find. Unlike sugars such as sucrose and fructose, NOW Real Food^® Xylitol doesn’t promote tooth decay. It has a low glycemic impact due to its slow absorption in the digestive tract, and its caloric impact is around 1/3 lower than other carbohydrates, making xylitol a healthy sweetener that's hard to beat.

Zahtar (Vann’s): An aromatic mixture of sesame, sumac, thyme and other spices from North Africa and Turkey. Zahtar can be sprinkled on meatballs or vegetables and also used as a dip. Mix with olive oil and spread on bread before baking. Used in our Mediterranean hummus!

~ SPECIALTY SALTS~

Alder Smoked Salt: Alder Smoked Salt gets its authentic flavor from being slowly smoked over true alderwood — the traditional smoking wood of the Northwest — not from artificial flavorings or oils. This all-natural smoking process adds a sweet, true smokehouse flavor. Alder smoked salt pairs well with any grilled foods, especially salmon, asparagus, pork, ribs and burgers.

Coarse Sea Salt (sold by pound):  An indispensable seasoning, salt is used in virtually every recipe and at virtually every table as well. Natural sea salt, like Frontier® Coarse Grind Sea Salt, is sodium chloride and naturally occurring trace minerals. (Typical refined table salt has these minerals removed and chemicals added.) This sea salt is perfect for a grinder bottle, or can be crushed to finer consistency with a mortar and pestle. Our bulk coarse-grind sea salt is kosher certified and non-irradiated.

Fleur de Sel: Long considered the caviar of salts, Fleur de Sel is comprised of light, moist crystals that look like tiny snowflakes and will make any dish sparkle with shine and a violet-like aroma. It is hand-harvested from the prized salt marshes in Brittany, France.

Grey Sea Salt:  Our Grey Sea Salt is an all-natural sea salt, unrefined and unprocessed, sourced from clean coastal waters along the Guérande Region of Brittany, France. This robust, briny and mineral-rich sea salt is harvested by traditional Celtic methods using a paludier, a craftsman salt harvester. This is a lovely, aromatic salt to flavor water for boiling pasta, or to adorn grilled shellfish, bivalves and fish. Our bulk gray sea salt is kosher certified and non-irradiated.

Hawaiian Black Lava Salt (Vann's):  This black salt from Hawaii is as dramatic in your mouth as on the plate. Add a striking element to your dishes with this beautiful artisan salt.

Himalayan Pink™ Salt : (Coarse or Fine) Himalayan Pink™ gourmet salt is pure, hand-mined salt found naturally deep inside the pristine Himalayan Mountains. The high mineral content Himalayan salt crystals range in color from deep reds to beautiful pinks to sheer white indicating a beneficial amount of trace elements & iron.

Kala Namak Sea Salt: Another common name for this salt is “Indian Black Salt” or “Sanchal” even though the salt crystals are actually light pink with a grayish tinge. This salt, which has a strong “cooked egg” odor, is mined in Central India as large, reddish-black crystals that are high in sulphur. The crystals are then finely ground into a grayish, rosy powder.

Kosher Flaked Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of Kosher Flaked Sea Salt to perfectly finish a dish. Many recipes and chefs call specifically for kosher salt due to the unique shape of its flat crystals and the more rounded, less harshly alkaline flavor it has over ordinary table salt. The increased surface area of these kosher flakes help the salt adhere beautifully to foods such as pretzels, breads and salted caramels. Unlike some brands of kosher salt, ours is actually made from real ocean water

Maldon Salt (Vann’s): Maldon Sea Salt is evaporated in small batches using a time-honored traditional method. Hailing from the east coast of England, Maldon’s crisp white flaky crystals are completely natural, without additives, giving the salt a distinctive texture and mineral flavor that sets it apart from other salts and makes it a fantastic finishing salt. Due to the iron salt pan evaporation process, the salt forms into tiny, hollow, crystalline pyramids. Perfect texture.

Yakima™ Applewood Smoked Sea Salt: Yakima™ Applewood Smoked Salt is a flaky sea salt that is naturally smoked over true Eastern Washington Applewood at low temperatures. Aged applewood is one of the most popular fruit woods used in smoking. It has a subtle fruit wood flavor that is mild enough to use with fish, shellfish, and poultry. Pork, sausage, ham, and bacon are also delicious when cooked or cured with this smoked salt. This salt can be used during cooking or as a finishing salt.
