About Our Seasoning

To create a seasoning with tangible health benefits, it’s essential to pack a nutritional punch, even in small doses. It is also important to find ingredients that work together to create what is called a synergistic effect, which means when combined the ingredients are more beneficial than if they were used alone.

Our seasoning is built upon the foundation of spirulina and turmeric, two highly regarded superfoods. Together, they unleash a synergistic force, enhancing their health benefits. The remaining ingredients are carefully selected to harmonize with these nutritional powerhouses. Spirulina and turmeric are referred to as “superfoods” due to their high concentration of essential nutrients and potential health benefits.

Spirulina is nutrient-dense and packed with complete protein, essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a wide range of health benefits. While relatively new to the Western diet, spirulina has been used for centuries, particularly by the Aztecs, who valued it for its energy-boosting and recovery properties.

Despite its nutritional advantages, spirulina’s fishy taste and unpleasant smell can be off-putting. Top-quality spirulina, like we use, is also much more expensive than the ingredients normally used in seasoning. We didn’t care about the expense and concentrated on fixing the taste. We tried many, many blends to get the mix right.

Turns out everything old is new again. 400 years ago, the Aztecs ground locally grown chili peppers, mixed it with spirulina, and formed it into cakes. These cakes tasted really good, the chili powder smoothing out the taste and smell of the spirulina. Chilies also have some properties that may enhance the health benefits of spirulina.

Using the ancestors of those same mild, flavorful chili, we were able to create a seasoning that tasted great and delivered all the benefits of the spirulina.

We also include a mixture of turmeric, a vibrant yellow spice and black pepper. Turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and modern science has provided new evidence to support its health benefits. When combined, turmeric and black pepper can offer a synergistic effect, potentially providing greater benefits than either spice alone.

Why is this seasoning more expensive?

Strict Organic Standards: Organic farming adheres to stringent regulations that prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. These restrictions necessitate more labor-intensive methods for pest control and soil management, driving up production costs.

Smaller Yields: Organic farming typically produces lower yields compared to conventional agriculture. This is because organic practices often prioritize soil health and biodiversity, which may lead to slightly reduced crop yields. The lower yields translate into higher costs per unit of product.

Superfoods, have a long proven record of health benefits. I believe that even in the small quantities you get with seasoning, it is helpful. I really love it on scrambled eggs first thing in the morning. Great way to start the day!
