I’ve been very remiss, not doing a review earlier. This is a wonderful spice combination. I add it to so many vegetable dishes, meats, seafood, eggs – you name it – I may try it on ice cream!!! Love it.

Following Nick’s advice in an interview, “Get your spices out, play with them!” I added a healthy pinch to scrambled eggs. Game Changer!! This is great in salads, too!
