Uses to Know:

Pink Himalayan Salt (Coarse) – Used to season dishes during or after cooking, adding a subtle mineral flavor and crunchy texture.
Black Peppercorn (Whole) – Used in grinders or crushed to release fresh, pungent heat that enhances the flavor of savory dishes.
Cinnamon Powder – Used in Indian garam masala, Mexican mole, and Middle Eastern stews to add warmth and subtle sweetness.
Cumin Powder – A cornerstone in Indian curries, Mexican tacos, Moroccan tagines, and Latin bean dishes for its earthy depth.
Thai Chili Pepper Flakes – Adds heat to Italian arrabbiata sauce, Korean kimchi, and Latin salsas or marinades.
Galangal Root Powder – While prominent in Southeast Asian dishes, it can substitute ginger in Indian curries or add an exotic note to Caribbean stews.
Garlic Powder – Universally used in Italian pasta sauces, American BBQ rubs, Indian spice blends, and Latin adobos.
Ginger Powder – Common in Indian chai, Middle Eastern kebab marinades, and Chinese stir-fries for its sweet, peppery heat.
Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder – Adds a unique citrus aroma to Thai curries and can be creatively used in Caribbean jerk seasoning or fusion seafood dishes.
Lemongrass– A Southeast Asian staple that also pairs well in Caribbean soups or with Latin citrus-marinated meats.
Onion Powder – Found in American dry rubs, Italian seasoning blends, Indian spice pastes, and Latin sofrito bases.
Paprika – Smoked or sweet, it's widely used in Spanish paella, Hungarian goulash, American deviled eggs, and Latin rice dishes.
Basil – While central to Thai stir-fries and pho, it can also enhance Italian pesto or Mediterranean salads with a licorice-like twist.
Turmeric Powder (Organic) – A key color and flavor agent in Indian curries, Middle Eastern rice dishes, and even Caribbean yellow stews.
