Time for a Taste of Something New - Penzeys Spices

Raspberry Enlightenment
Our Creative Cook has been working for awhile now to come up with
something to use in rotation with balsamic vinegar to add tartness,
sweetness and that dash of flavor that so many of today’s quick cooked
meals want. Raspberry Enlightenment helps. Don’t think of it as a way to
make things taste like raspberry; think of it as a background flavor that
makes everything taste better, especially vegetables, pasta, salads and
quickly-cooked meats. Give it a try. It is designed to help you explore
your own creativity. Ingredients: raspberries, sugar, water, tapioca starch,
spices, citric acid.
1 cup glass jar (net 9.5 oz) #97185 $ 6.59
Sage
Sage is a must for stuffing. The flavor of sage is also
perfect for simple baked chicken or pork, just sprinkle

Grey Sea Salt
From France
Back by popular demand. We discontinued this one for
a while, but it made people sad. We don’t want to make
people sad; we want them to be happy. Has an aroma
that some call nice and flowery. Use small amounts
towards the end of cooking for fish and seafood. Also
nice in fresh baked breads served with unsalted butter.

Kosher Style Flake Salt
If you only buy one salt this year make it this one. Kosher
Flake salt has a long history and a great taste. The special
shape of the flakes gives this salt the maximum of salt
flavor with the minimum of salt used.

Pacific Sea Salt
Pacific Sea Salt is bright white and produced domestically.
The extra coarse is suitable for grinding in salt mills, the
coarse sea salt will shake out of our standard jar and the
fine variety will work nicely in a home salt shaker.

Sandwich Sprinkle
This blend was created for making homemade
croutons, but along the way it has become the
lunchtime favorite in the Penzeys breakroom for all
types of sandwiches, from crusty subs to tuna salad.
Just shake on, or mix 1 TB. with 1 TB. water, add to ¹/4
cup vinegar and ¹/3 cup oil, shake, and drizzle on your
favorite sandwich. To make homemade croutons
(great for using up odds and ends of leftover bread):
for each 2 cups of cubed bread (4 regular slices), use 1
TB. seasoning. Traditional and very flavorful when
sautéed in 1-2 TB. butter or olive oil (toss over medium
heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown). For crispy,
low-fat croutons, coat lightly with a vegetable oil spray,
season and bake at 375˚ until brown (8-15 minutes),
turning twice while cooking. Hand-mixed from: garlic,
coarse salt, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram
and black pepper.

We’re cutting back on salt.
A really good and healthy thing going on
with food right now is that people are
using less salt. We want to be a part of
this. Going forward we will continue to
sell reasonably priced generic salts of the
earth and sea, but we will no longer be
selling the higher priced specialty salts. I
feel things have gotten to a point where
the specialty salts are glamorizing the use
of salt and, with that, encouraging people
to use more of it. I have also found that
along with the marketing of specialty salt
has come a great deal of misinformation,
including claims that some salts don’t
affect your health like others do. This is
just not true and not something we want
to be a part of. Salt is salt, it really is, and it
tastes no different no matter where it
comes from.
With our belief that cooking comes from
caring for those around you we feel part
of that is caring for the well-being of the
people we cook for. We all have our own
relationship with salt and I respect that,
but as a cook and as a business I feel so
much better about working to cut back
on the use of salt rather than encouraging
the use of more. I hope this makes sense
to you,
