Raw Spice Bar Individual Spices Review- #2023HolidayGiftGuide

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

I am embarrassed to say but I never did the cooking while growing up. I wasn’t aloud in the kitchen when my Mom and Grandmother would be cooking. Even when I got my own apartment, Care bags were prepared for me with the ingredients and all I had to do was put it together.

Hence, This is why I love receiving/reviewing food items. I love coming up with new dishes or following recipes.

Raw Spice Bar is a company that creates all kind of spices and rubs. They create a new spice every month. They sell everything from individual spices to Blend Boxes to spice subscriptions.

“They say that if something isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Take grocery store spice blends, for example. They’re just good enough. Not special, not wow-inducing, and usually a bit on the flavorless side. They’re just kind of…there. Just like a tomato bought from a store can never compare to the tangy, fresh flavor of a locally grown farmer’s market tomato, a store-bought spice blend can be good, but only a spice blend utilizing the freshest ingredients for the deepest flavors can be great.

At RawSpiceBar, we believe that no one should settle for bland food or a so-so mealtime routine. A Creole blend should have the sounds of Bourbon Street ringing in your ears. A Greek blend should transport you to the sun-drenched vineyards of the Mediterranean. When “good enough” spice blends didn’t achieve this, we knew something had to change. ”

I received berbere Blend, Khmeli Suneli and Thai Curry Blend.

1. berbere Blend- With 5th-century merchants traveling through China, Egypt, Somalia, Arabia, Persia, India, and Java, the Horn of Africa was exposed to a variety of new spices, including red chili peppers, fenugreek, ginger, coriander, cardamom, allspice, cumin, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, korarima, ajwain, and long pepper.Loving a culinary experiment, Ethiopian cooks and households began mixing these blends to their liking, eventually creating the complex, citrusy berbere spice blend that Ethiopian households have handed down through generations. With our RawSpiceBar Berbere Blend, you can take this ancient, beloved spice blend and make it your own, continuing the tradition of sharing deeply flavorful food throughout the world.
2. Khmeli Suneli-Fenugreek Seeds, Bay leaves, Chilli powder, Dried parsley, Dried marjoram, Dried tarrogan, Ground coriander, Dried dill, Pepper, Salt
   Khmeli Suneli is a traditional spice blend that originates from the country of Georgia, located in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. The name “Khmeli Suneli” translates to “dried spices” in Georgian, reflecting its composition and purpose.
   Georgian cuisine is known for its rich and distinctive flavors, and Khmeli Suneli is considered one of the cornerstone ingredients in Georgian cooking. It is a versatile spice blend that adds complexity and depth to a wide variety of dishes, ranging from meats and stews to soups, vegetable dishes, and even bread.
   The exact origins and history of Khmeli Suneli are not well-documented, but it is believed to have been developed centuries ago, influenced by the diverse cultural and culinary traditions of the region. Georgia has been a crossroads for different civilizations, including Persians, Turks, Greeks, and Russians, and these influences have contributed to the unique flavors found in Georgian cuisine.
3. Thai curry blend-Just as simple as including coriander, Cumin, Turmeric, Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, White Pepper, Bay Leaves, Cloves
