Organic Salt Makes a Great Seasoning That You Will Use Every Day!

There is an idiom that you have likely heard--"the salt of the earth." That saying refers to a person who is someone you can count on, who does not put on airs but is a decent, good person.

The seasoning salt is rather like that idiom. Salt is a basic seasoning that is used in many of our favorite dishes and is useful in other applications around the house. You will find it in your favorite foods at every meal, as well as an important ingredient to recipes such as bread, salsas and chips. Stocking your kitchen with bulk organic spices will allow you to add endlessly seasoned savory foods on the table morning, noon and night.

Seasoning Blends

Many blends of bulk herbs and spices can be made more zesty with the addition of organic salt. Imagine fajitas seasoned with black pepper, onion and garlic powders, cumin, coriander, lemon peel, oregano, parsley and cayenne, then brought to perfection by a little sprinkle of organic salt.

Many dishes can be made much more flavorful by simply using organic salt and spices. For instance, savory Cajun foods shine when you add a seasoning blend of black pepper, cayenne, organic salt, garlic, onion and paprika. Southern Red Beans and Rice dishes can benefit from the addition of these wonderful Cajun seasonings as well. Cajun seasoning blends are also useful as a dry rub that can be used with fish or chicken that gets sauteed or even barbecued on the grill.

Salt itself can be seasoned by the addition of different herbs and spices in bulk. A delicious rub that can be used on beef steaks, pork spareribs, hamburgers, and even fish fillets can start with salt that is flavored with pepper, paprika, and a smoky malt that goes by the name of Hickory salt.

You can make your own special blends of organic salt, herbs and spices suited to your favorite dishes. If you cook a lot at home, it does save money to purchase spices in bulk. That way, you will have a good supply and not run out when you are cooking late at night, at a crucial moment in putting together an anticipated dish.

Other Uses for Salt

In addition to cooking, salt makes a wonderful organic home cleaner. By combining vinegar with salt in a sturdy spray bottle, you have created a non-toxic counter cleaner that will help you scrub away dirt and grime.

Why are salt and pepper the only seasonings people put on their food after it's been cooked?

People put all types of seasonings in their food BEFORE it is cooked, but the only thing they add AFTER the food has been cooked is salt and/or pepper. You don't hear anyone asking for garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, etc. at the dinner table.

A lot of spices need to be "cooked" otherwise they impart a "raw" taste, adding heat to spices releases their oils and their flavor. S&P dont need to be heat to enhance the flavors of food.

Things people add after cooking like mustard, ketchup, mayo, vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce.... are all condiments & sauces, NOT spices.
