spice blends

Combined aromatic powders

Spice blends are combinations of dried spices and herbs mixed together for culinary use.

Some are regional traditions with established ratios: curry powder, garam masala, herbes de Provence, za'atar.

Others are commercial products with proprietary formulas.

Blends save time measuring individual spices and ensure consistent flavor profiles across dishes.
