Or step outside of the box and explore global flavors “your way.” Shine a spotlight on some of our favorite Global finds that deserve another look.

Latin America

Latin America

Beloved in kitchens across Brazil, Bahian seasoning is an on-the-rise blend of oregano, parsley, peppers and cumin that top chefs rave about in its ability to seamlessly deliver the vibrant, flavorful traditions of Brazil to the table. Embrace this rich, versatile herb and spice blend by experimenting with its application in stews, seafood and vegetable dishes.

Get your hands on Mexican recados, a popular sour orange and annatto-flavored Yucatan spice paste. Commonly used in marinades for hearty cuts of meat, it originated with the Mayans, and is now alive and well as a long-standing heritage flavor of Mexico today. You may already be familiar with it as the star ingredient in cochinita pibil (pulled pork) – try it with chicken and fish too!

Modern Mediterranean

Modern Mediterranean

Mediterranean cuisine has moved swiftly into the 21st century in a fusion of Eastern Mediterranean ingredients with Western European classics. Create dishes that are homey and fresh at the same time, celebrating the best of what both these worlds offer. Don’t know where to start? Barberries – a small dried fruit livens up sweet and savory dishes - and baharat seasoning – are both a go.

The more you eat dukkah, the more addictive this spice blend from the North African region becomes. Totally customizable, this simple mix of toasted nuts and seeds can be salty, sweet or even spicy. Typically sprinkled on olive oil-dipped pita bread (yum) it’s equally as delicious with vegetables, pasta and rice, or rubbed onto seafood and meats before grilling. Simply put – dukkah can’t be stopped!
