Paprika, Smoked

Columbus brought smoked paprika from Central America to Spain, where it was beloved for its fire and punch. Both smoked and sweet paprika are made from the same family of thin, long red peppers, and both lend savory flavors, rather than real heat. Also called pimenton, smoked paprika gives chorizo its bright red color, and lends a woodsy note to meat or veggie dishes. A little goes a long way.

1.5 oz


CUMIN POWDER

Peppery and prepared to play well with others, cumin was once so popular it was once carried in the pockets of wedding guests during the Middle Ages to bring good fortune. This pale version has a slightly more citrusy kick than its roasted cousins, and it goes well with fresh chilli pepper and mild vegetables.

1.5 oz

 

OREGANO, MEDITERRANEAN

Highly floral, one sniff of this oregano can send you off into a total Under the Tuscan Sun moment. This oregano plant, unlike Mexican oregano, is closely related to mint, and keeps its pungent flavor even when dried. It grows tenaciously in hot, rocky climates, and has traditionally been used in marinades for grilled meats and as a complement to more mild flavors, such as creamy feta.
0.4 oz


CINNAMON POWDER

The long, complicated history of cinnamon starts in Sri Lanka (once called Ceylon), where it grew originally before becoming prized around the world as a preservative and medicine—worth so much that it was often traded as a commodity. (Wars were fought over control of the source!) Made from the inner bark of the tropical cinnamon tree, the curled stick is the foundation of both Chinese Five Spice powder and iconic American apple pie.

1.5 oz

 

GINGER POWDER

Sinus-clearing ginger root is famous for its immunity boosting powers as well as its ability to cleanse the palate and add zing to dense cakes or sauces. Prized by ancient Indian and Chinese cultures, it was used as early as 5,000 years ago as a cure for common ailments like stomach pain. Those early ancestors were onto something, as anyone who’s sipped ginger tea can attest to. The powdered version is a great way to heat up classic American fall dishes, such as pumpkin and apple pie

1.2 oz

 

TURMERIC POWDER

A longtime staple as a fabric dye and ingredient in Ayurvedic cooking and medicine (since 500 BC!), turmeric is currently enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity due to its anti-inflammatory and digestive qualities. A rhizome that looks similar to ginger root when pulled out of the ground, dried and powdered turmeric has stunning marigold color and earthy taste that pairs well with citrus or honey.
