spice blend

Combined aromatic powders

A spice blend is a mixture of dried spices combined in specific proportions to create a distinctive flavor profile.

Some are regionally traditional—garam masala, herbes de Provence, za'atar—while others are commercial formulations like pumpkin spice or taco seasoning.

Blends save time and ensure consistent results across dishes.
