    You probably haven't tried garlic powder if you don’t consider yourself a “garlic” person. Add a pinch (or more) to your favorite meats, vegetables, or sauces for the flavor kick of a lifetime. On top of that, it comes with a plethora of health benefits that will keep you coming back for more!

    Sriracha

    The internet isn’t lying when it says that you can put sriracha on anything: you really can! This versatile sauce is spicy enough to be mouth-watering yet subtle enough not to be overpowering. Add a drop (or two or twenty) to your favorite go-to recipe, and prepare to have your world rocked.

    Lime Juice

    Harry Nilsson was onto something when he sang “...put the lime in the coconut” in 1971. Whether you’re mixing up a fiery cocktail or marinading some meat, lime juice is a game-changer you won’t want to overlook. Plus, it’s good for your heart, so you can look forward to many lime-filled meals ahead of you!

    Frank’s RedHot Hot Sauce

    Easy travel hack: if you’ve never been to the South, just pick up a bottle of Frank’s RedHot and use it the next time you’re making lunch or dinner. This tangy Louisiana-style sauce will do all the traveling for you!

    Nutritional Yeast

    Not to be confused with baker’s yeast, nutritional yeast is the one-stop savory seasoning that your kitchen has been waiting for. Sprinkle it over pasta, salad, bread, or whatever your heart desires for a flavorful health kick.

    Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

    You may have tried crushed red pepper flakes on your pizza, but that’s not all they’re good for. Spice up any uninspired dish by mixing in crushed red pepper flakes - or just sprinkle them over the top!

    Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning

    If you haven’t already tried Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, this is your sign to change that. This salty Cajun-inspired blend brings rich Southern flavors to your very own kitchen! From pasta to popcorn: your favorite meal just got an upgrade.

    Garam Masala

    Garam masala is widely considered the crown jewel of Indian cuisine - and it’s easy to see why. This powerful blend of spices is popular on chicken or in soup, but its true speciality is as a dessert! Add it to cookies, cupcakes, or even coffee for an aromatic treat.

    Yellow Onions

    Who doesn’t like onions? We put them in everything because they enhance every dish they’re in with their sweet, mellow flavor.

    Kimchi

    Kimchi is a fermented vegetable dish, but don’t let that scare you. This traditional Asian dish adds a crunchy, sour kick to omelets, rice bowls, or even sandwiches!

    Old Bay Seasoning

    No need to spend hours googling “best seasoning combinations”; instead, let Old Bay do the work for you! This complex blend of spices is a zesty addition to seafood, salads, and more.
