seasoning blends
Combined dried aromatics
Seasoning blends are mixtures of dried spices, herbs, and other flavorings combined for convenience and consistent results.
Commercial blends like Italian seasoning, taco seasoning, and pumpkin pie spice save cooks from measuring individual components.
Some blends include salt; others don't.
Regional cuisines have signature blends: herbes de Provence, garam masala, za'atar.
