May Spice Club

This month’s Spice Club pick is Tajín. This iconic Mexican seasoning is a delightful and unique blend of mild chili peppers, zesty lime, and sea salt. Tajín is more about a tangy, savory zest than intense heat, making it incredibly versatile. It’s famously delicious, sprinkled over fresh fruits like mango, watermelon, and pineapple, and adds a perfect zing to vegetables such as cucumber and corn on the cob. Each kit comes with two adorable bottles of the spice. Stop in and get one while they last!

April Spice Kit

April’s Spice Kit is Roasted Garlic Powder! You might be familiar with regular garlic powder, but roasted garlic powder is a game-changer. It has a much sweeter, milder, and almost caramelized flavor compared to the sharper, more pungent taste of regular garlic powder. It’s perfect for adding a subtle depth to your dishes. Come check out our spice kits and elevate your cooking!
