Notes

FAQs

How Much Seasoning To Use?

Guys, go easy on seasoning, so start with less than you think you need and add more to taste. Depending on the seasoning, I recommend you start with 1-2 tablespoons of seasoning for a recipe that serves 4 the first time and then adjust up or down to your taste.

How Long To Store Them?

You can store them for up to 6 months in an airtight spice jar or mason jar in a cool place out of direct sunlight. They lose their freshness and vibrant flavor as time goes by so only make only enough to last for up to 6 months. After that simply make a new batch.
