Life is all about the spice! At least that's what I like to believe. And that's how I like to cook as well. Whether is a new combination or just a new twist on an old staple, I love exploring spices!
Here's some fun facts about some spices I like to used frequently!
Cumin
This spice used frequently in Indian and Mexican cooking helps to improve circulation in your body and gives you energy!
Curry
Curry is a blend of spices most frequently used in Indian cooking and varies in flavor from mild to hot. I love using curry on my veggies to add an extra zip!
Cinnamon
This spice is more versatile than you think. This spice is a "warming" spice and works well for balancing blood sugar as well as easing the symptoms of a cold or flu.
Coriander
This spice comes from the seed of a cilantro plant. It's zesty and has a bit of an orange flavor. It's great for spicing up soups or Indian and Mexican dishes
Cayenne
This is another great "warming" spice that can help with circulation, metabolism, and even relieving an upset stomach. A little goes a long way!
Remember when looking for your spices that you make sure to always buy spices that are in their "natural" form - meaning don't buy mixes like seasoned salt, garlic salt, or any other derivatives out there. Why? Those spice blends generally tend to have extra additives that, while they may seem harmless, contribute to some of the poisons we consume.
And don't be afraid to spice things up in your kitchen!
