Cayenne pepper - prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated.

Many herbalists believe that Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them.

Cayenne Pepper is made from the dried pods of pungent chili peppers. This fiery spice adds flair to dishes from Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East

Chili powder (also called chili mix) is a spice mix consisting of various ratios of -
Ingredients:
Organic chile pepper, spices, garlic, 2% or less Silicon Dioxide added for anti-caking.

Chili powder is most commonly used to season chili. It also shows up in enchiladas, spice rubs, and other Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes.

Cilantro - pronounced [sih-LAHN-troh] This member of the carrot family is also referred to as Chinese Parsley and Coriander. It is actually the leaves (and stems) of the Coriander plant. Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. The Cilantro leaves look a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact are related.

Taste and Aroma Cilantro's taste is a fragrant mix of parsley and citrus.

Coriander is considered an aid to the digestive system. It is an appetite stimulant and aids in the secretion of gastric juices.

In the Middle East the Cilantro leaves are used in pickles, curries, and chutneys. In Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. it is used in everything from salsas and salads to burritos or meat dishes.

Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. Israeli scientists found that cinnamon extract is useful in inhibiting the bacteria, H. pylori, which causes many ulcers. Cinnamon even contains an antioxidant, glutathione. Although our bodies also produce this antioxidant, cinnamon can enhance those levels, helping to counter lipid (fat) oxidation.

Possibly most the common baking spice, Cinnamon is used in cakes, cookies, and desserts throughout the world. Cinnamon is also used in savory chicken and lamb dishes from the Middle East. In American cooking, Cinnamon is often paired with apples and used in other fruit and cereal dishes.

For a fragrant pilaf, cook rice in Cinnamon flavored broth and stir in chopped dried fruit and toasted nuts. The sweetspicy flavor of Cinnamon enhances the taste of vegetables and fruits. Cinnamon is a perfect partner for chocolate; use it in any chocolate dessert or drink. It is used to mellow the tartness of apple pie.

Intense in aroma and flavor, this spice is hot and slightly sweet. Use with caution as the flavor develops sharply within a dish upon standing. The intensity is tempered somewhat with heat.

Cloves are renown for providing their uniquely warm, sweet and aromatic taste to ginger bread and pumpkin pie, but they can also make a wonderful addition to split pea and bean soups, baked beans and chili.

You might add ground cloves to baked goods or a pinch with beef and pork dishes. Use them whole in beverages and pickles. Whole cloves also make an interesting garnish and come in especially handy for decorating gingerbread.

Most people in the world today know what a curry is - or at least think they do. In Britain the term ‘curry’ has come to mean almost any Indian dish, whilst most people from the sub-continent would say it is not a word they use, but if they did it would mean a meat, vegetable or fish dish with spicy sauce and rice or bread.

The one thing all the experts seem to agree on is that the word originates from India and was adapted and adopted by the British Raj.

Researchers say curry's powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it a very attractive possibility for treating diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, and heart disease.

Curry powder is a British invention to imitate the flavour of Indian cooking with minimal effort. Some curry powders, or so the books tell, indeed contain curry leaves, but probably only for historic or linguistic reasons, since dried curry leaves lose their fragrance within days. A typical curry powder should derive its taste mainly from roasted cumin, roasted coriander, black pepper, chiles and roasted fenugreek.

Ingredients:
Organic Evaporated Can Juice, Salt, Spices, Chili pepper, Turmeric, and Garlic.

If the name is unfamiliar, you may assume you have never eaten fenugreek. Most likely you have; it is a common ingredient in curry powders. An extract of the seeds is also used commercially in artificial flavorings such as vanilla, caramel, butterscotch and especially maple.

The taste of the spice is somewhat like burnt maple, sweet yet bitter with a hint of celery. In addition to curries, fenugreek will enhance meats, poultry and vegetables. Too much of it will cause foods to become bitter, however, so use with caution until you become familiar with it.

Fenugreek, whole or ground, is common to Middle Eastern and African cooking. Approximately twenty of the flat light-brown seeds grow in pods that should be dried before using as they are not tasty in the raw state. Fenugreek is often marketed already ground. Look for it as a specialty spice from most purveyors.

Few recipes call for fenugreek but you might find it interesting to experiment with the next time you make a pot of beef stew or grill some vegetables. Below is a recipe to get you started.

Mustard Seed Yellow Powder Organic

Mustard seeds are small, about 1 mm in diameter. They may be colored from yellowish white to black. They are important spices in many regional cuisines.

The Romans most likely developed the prepared mustards we know today. They mixed unfermented grape juice, known as must, with ground seeds (called sinapis) to form mustum ardens, or burning must.

Nutmeg is the seed of Myristica fragrans, an evergreen tree native to the Molucca Islands. Interestingly, the tree produces both Nutmeg and mace, and grows up to 60 feet tall. Although the tree takes seven years to bear fruit, it may produce until the 90th year. Both spices come from the tree’s fruit, which splits into a scarlet outer membrane, mace, and an inner brown seed, Nutmeg.

Culinary uses:
Nutmeg and mace have similar taste qualities, nutmeg having a slightly sweeter and mace a more delicate flavor. Mace is often preferred in light-coloured dishes for the bright orange, saffron-like colour it imparts.

Onions for Your Health

Onions not only provide flavor; they also provide health-promoting phytochemicals as well as nutrients.

Onions contain quercetin, a flavonoid (one category of antioxidant compounds). Antioxidants are compounds that help delay or slow the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of the body.

It's probably illegal to make soups, stews and casseroles without plenty of onions.
-Maggie Waldron, American author and editor

Oregano derives its name from two Greek words meaning the joy of the mountain. It is a hardy member of the mint family that has been used for flavoring fish, meat and sauces since ancient times. It was long referred to as wild marjoram.

The pungent herb gained great popularity in the United States after 1940 when returning G.I.'s longed for the flavor of pizza they had sampled in Italy. Oregano is often referred to as the pizza herb. It's a natural for all types of tomato sauces but also goes well with egg and cheese dishes. Oregano and basil combine to create a special flavor common in the Italian cooking we know so well.

For a simple sauce, add 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, a few pinches dried thyme and a bit of crushed red peppers, if desired, into an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce. Just mix the herbs right in the can for easy clean up.

Parsley is an excellent source of Vitamins C and A along with other minerals. To reap these benefits, use it fresh more often by tossing a handful into green salads or mince and sprinkle over cooked foods. It can be added to virtually any dish, aside from sweets, but add near the end of cooking to maintain the bright flavor.

A pinch of black pepper is added to almost every type of recipe imaginable. Once used as currency and presented to the gods as a sacred offering, it is fortunate that this most popular of spices is available throughout the year.

Black pepper comes from the pepper plant, a smooth woody vine that can grow up to 33 feet in hot and humid tropical climates. They begin to bear small white clustered flowers after 3 to 4 years and develop into berries known as peppercorns. Ground peppercorns produce the spice we call pepper.

Improve Digestion and Promote Intestinal Health

Black pepper (Piper nigrum)stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for the digestion of proteins and other food components in the stomach. When the body's production of hydrochloric acid is insufficient, food may sit in the stomach for an extended period of time, leading to heartburn or indigestion, or it may pass into the intestines, where it can be used as a food source for unfriendly gut bacteria, whose activities produce gas, irritation, and/or diarrhea or constipation.

Spice up your stir-fry dishes with this unique blend of Asia.

The word chipotle, which was also sometimes spelled chilpoctle and chilpotle, comes to English originally from the Nahuatl word chilpoctli by way of Mexican Spanish. The Nahuatl word chilpoctli means smoked chile, formed from chil (=chile pepper) + poctli (=smoke). The original Nahuatl word was spelled pochilli and has apparently become reversed. Today it is commonly misspelled and mispronounced as chipolte, an error of metathesis. Other early spellings from Mexico are tzilpoctil, tzonchilli and texochilli. The most common pronunciation is chee-POHT-lay, although some of those who are aware of this word's Nahuatl roots prefer the more historical pronunciation chee-POHT-l.

Allspice, also called Jamaica pepper, Myrtle pepper, pimento, or newspice, is a spice which is the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant. The name allspice was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several spices, such as cloves, pepper, and even cinnamon and nutmeg.

Uses:

Allspice is used in a variety of foods, mainly as a background flavor in combination with other sweet spices, e.g. in bakery items such as spice cakes and cookies. It is also used extensively in the processed meats industry, primarily in two forms: the essential oils (pimento leaf and pimento berry) and the oleoresin, to some extent, in products like bologna and wieners. It is used whole in pickling spices for corned beef, sauerbraten and fish. Allspice is a major flavor contributor to Caribbean and Jamaican foods and spice blends. The German, Italian and Scandinavian people use more allspice per capita than do other nationalities.

Allspice is a small shrubby tree, quite similar to the bay laurel in size and form. It can be grown outdoors in the tropics and subtropics with normal garden soil and watering. Smaller plants can be killed by frost, although larger plants are more tolerant. It adapts well to container culture and can be kept as a houseplant or in a greenhouse. The plant has separate sexes, hence male and female plants must be kept in proximity in order to allow fruits to develop.

Basil or Ocimum basilicum is loved by cooks and gardeners.

Basil is one of the few herbs that the flavor actually intensifies upon cooking.

BASIL PESTO

In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of garlic, quartered, 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Process to a fine paste. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve over hot pasta and tomatoes or spread on French bread slices and broil. Makes about 1 cup.

Organic Cumin Seed, Ground

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native from the east Mediterranean to East India.

Cumin seeds are used as a spice for their distinctive aroma, popular in North African, Middle Eastern, western Chinese, Indian and Mexican cuisine.

Cumin can be used to season many dishes, as it draws out their natural sweetnesses. It is traditionally added to curries, enchiladas, tacos, and other Middle-eastern, Indian, Cuban and Mexican-style foods. It can also be added to salsa to give it extra flavour. Cumin has also been used on meat in addition to other common seasonings. The spice is a familiar taste in Tex-Mex dishes.

Garlic is common to cooks around the world. You can influence each clove's intensity depending on how you choose to prepare it for a dish.

Organic Ginger Root / Zingiber officinale

Ginger root is used extensively as a spice in many if not all cuisines of the world. Though called a root, it is actually the rhizome of the monocotyledonous perennial plant Zingiber officinale.

Young ginger roots are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or just cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can also be stewed in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which honey is often added as a sweetener. Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly dry. The juice from old ginger roots is extremely potent and is often used as a spice in Chinese cuisine to flavor dishs such as in seafood and mutton .

Ginger is also candied, is used as a flavoring for candy, cookies, crackers and cake, and is the main flavor in ginger ale, a sweet, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage, as well as the similar, but somewhat spicier beverage ginger beer. A ginger-flavored liqueur called Canton is produced in the Guangdong province of China; it is advertised to be based on a recipe created for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and made from six different varieties of ginger. Green ginger wine is a ginger flavoured wine produced in the United Kingdom by Crabbie's and Stone's and traditionally sold in a green glass bottle. Ginger is also used as a spice added to hot coffee and tea.

In Japan, ginger is pickled to make beni shoga and gari or grated and used raw on tofu or noodles.

In Western cuisine, ginger is traditionally restricted to sweet foods, such as ginger ale, gingerbread, ginger snaps (a type of cookie), ginger cake and ginger biscuits.

Powdered dry ginger (ground ginger) is typically used to add spiciness to gingerbread and other recipes. Ground and fresh ginger taste quite different and ground ginger is a particularly poor substitute for fresh ginger. Fresh ginger can be successfully substituted for ground ginger and should be done at a ratio of 6 parts fresh for 1 part ground. You generally achieve better results by substituting only half the ground ginger for fresh ginger.

Marjoram (Origanum majorana, Lamiaceae) is a cold-sensitive perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavors. It is also called Sweet Marjoram or Knotted Marjoram and Majorana hortensis.

Marjoram is the dried leaves and floral parts of the herb Origanum majorana.

Great spice used in sausages, lamb, beef, pork, chicken, fish, tomato dishes, stuffings, breads, salad dressings, and chowders.

Toasted Sesame Seeds

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a flowering plant in the genus Sesamum.

Sesame is grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds, which come in a variety of colors. The small, cream-white sesame seed is used whole in cooking for its rich nutty flavour (although such heating damages their health-giving poly-unsaturated fats), and also yields a cooking oil. Sesame seeds are sometimes added to breads, including bagels and the top of hamburger buns. Sesame seeds are baked into crackers, often in the form of sticks.

Japanese cuisine uses sesame seeds in many ways. One is to make goma-dofu, which is made from sesame paste and starch. Whole seeds are found in many salads and baked snacks as well. Chefs in tempura restaurants blend sesame and cottonseed oil for deep-frying. Tan and black sesame seed varieties are roasted and used for making the flavoring called gomashio.

The seeds are rich in manganese, copper, and calcium (90 mg per tablespoon for unhulled seeds, only 10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and Vitamin E (tocopherol). They contain powerful antioxidants called lignans, which are also anti-carcinogenic. They also contain phytosterols, which block cholesterol production. Sesame contains one lignan unique to it called sesamin. The nutrients of sesame seeds are better absorbed if they are ground or pulverised before consumption.

Sun Dried New Zealand Sea Salt is harvested from the great southern oceans. These waters are evaporated in Solar Salt Fields using the natural process of sun and wind. Once a year the salt is carefully gathered while taking measures to maintain the balance of minerals naturally present in the salt. This is a wonderful table and cooking salt.

Gourmet Salt

Until recently salt was considered a basic commodity - salt was just salt! Now however, gourmet chefs, in homes and in restaurants, have learned to appreciate and distinguish between the distinctive qualities of the many varieties of sea salts and how these salts enhance the flavors and finish of foods.

Why should you consider using Sea Salt is that it is one of the few foods left in nature that is not man made or interfered with. So it has a composition of minerals that is naturally balanced and also has an energy that is very harmonious to the body. Many chronic fatigue and adrenal exhausted patients greatly benefit from including Sea Salt in their cooking recipes.

If you are going to use Salt - which makes food taste better, why not use a salt that is good for you while you cook.

In recent years there has been much publicity about the need to reduce salt consumption in societies where salt is added to many processed foods (Denton 1984, 584-7). It has tended to be forgotten that some salt intake is absolutely necessary; that people need salt, sodium chloride, to survive: The chemical requirements of the human body demand that the salt concentration in the blood be kept constant. If the body does not get enough salt, a hormonal mechanism compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. On a completely salt-free diet the body steadily loses small amounts of salt via the kidneys and sweat glands. It then attempts to adjust this by accelerating its secretion of water, so that the blood’s salt concentration can be maintained at the vital level.

An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted. (1995). Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health outcomes benefits of lower-sodium diets.

The National Academy of Sciences recommends that Americans consume a minimum of 500 mg/day of sodium to maintain good health. Individual needs, however, vary enormously based on their genetic make-up and the way they live their lives.

Salt and Cardiovascular Health: For 4,000 years, we have known that salt intakes can affect blood pressure through signals to the muscles of blood vessels trying to maintain blood pressure within a proper range. We know that a minority of the population can lower blood pressure by restricting dietary salt.

Cheddar Cheese originated in the village of Cheddar in the Somerset region of England. It's a firm, cow's-milk cheese that ranges in flavor from mild to sharp.

Instructions

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, which also includes many other herbs.

Rosemary, in the dried form, is extremely high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin B6. It is in fact more nutrient rich in its dry form than fresh rosemary across the board.

Rosemary has a piney flavor and a tea like aroma that pairs well with lamb, pork, chicken and rabbit. Ground rosemary is used most commonly in sauces, soups and baking savory dishes such as muffins or corn bread.
