While individual spices are powerful, blending them can unlock new culinary dimensions. Spice mixes reflect regional cultures, personal taste, and creativity.
Why Make Your Own?
Homemade blends are free of preservatives, allow customization, and are often more flavorful than store-bought versions.
Common Base Blends
Ras el Hanout (Morocco): Cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and rose petals.
