Gingerbread Spice
$10.25 – $27.70
Originally baked in German monasteries in the 14th century to aid digestion, gingerbread quickly spread throughout Europe. An International tradition, and an American classic, this blend of sweet, aromatic spices, is driven by the lemony, sweet flavor of freshly milled ginger root. Use to flavor gingerbread or in cookies, cakes, pies, or smoothies to deliver this unmistakable classic flavor.
Hand blended in small batches with: ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Cascabel Chile Pepper

Axiote
$9.00 – $25.00The Annatto tree is often referred to as the Lipstick Tree as it is used to color many cosmetics including lipstick. Native to the rain forests of the Yucatan and Belize, the spice is known throughout Central America by its Nahuatl name, Axiote. Blended with other spices and herbs, and ground into a paste, axiote is a mainstay of Yucatecan cuisine, and is used to season primarily chicken, but is also used on fish, lobster, and pork (achiote paste is marketed throughout Central America as “recado rojo”). In India, Hindu women use it to make the mark on their foreheads.
With a distinctive mildly bitter, earthy flavor, the annatto seed is most commonly used in Western culture as a food coloring for cheese, margarine, butter, rice, and smoked fish. We use it as a primary ingredient for our Belizean-inspired Axiote rub for chicken and fish.
Belizean Jerk
$10.50A Belizean blend, merging the Caribbean favors from Allspice and Cinnamon with just the right amount of heat from Habanero Peppers.

Hand blended in small batches with: sea salt, garlic, honey granules, allspice, pepper, chiles, cinnamon, clove, and marjoram.
Sazon
$10.00 – $13.50A staple of Spanish, Mexican and Caribbean cooking, Sazón delivers the tangy, earthy flavor of Axiote with Coriander, Garlic and Salt, as well as a lovely red coloring.

Use as a rub on proteins and vegetables, or add to soups and sautées for color and a comforting flavor. Add Sazón to rice for an authentic Spanish rice.
Hand blended in small batches with: axiote seed, sea salt, coriander, garlic, pepper, turmeric, paprika, cumin, and oregano.
