This is one of our more unique limited edition spice sets and was created by Tara W. of Lincoln City, Oregon. Tara describes this spice set best - "Artisan Breads - all great options to top the bread with an egg wash or mix into the dough" and "Granola - I bake at least 4 batches a month and these are also perfect with Greek yogurt, mixed into a smoothie or afternoon snack". Thanks Tara we could not have said it any better ourselves!
So here are your six selections - 3 that are perfect for homemade bread and the second 3 ideal for making your own granola:
Organic Poppy Seed - You will enjoy the lightly nutty and sweet aroma while the taste is almost almond-like. In the west we delight in the flavor and delicate crunch of these blue-black seeds on breads, muffins and pretzels as well as with buttered egg noodles and fruit salad dressings.
Organic Fennel Seed - This certified organic offering is sourced from Turkey and features a lemony anise flavor. Fennel is good with a very wide variety of dishes and is exceptional with beets, potatoes, in sauerkraut, stews, meat and chicken dishes, sauces, herb butters, dips and dressings, salads, omelets, apple pie, cakes, pastries, puddings, and spiced fruit.
Organic Fenugreek Seed - The aroma is warm and penetrating with a spicy pungent smell that is the most recognizable scent of top quality curry powders. The flavor of Fenugreek is aromatic, bittersweet and powerful and has been described as similar to burnt sugar. Dry roasting these seeds brings out an aromatic maple flavor which has made it popular to use in baked goods and in artificial maple syrup.
Organic Saigon Cinnamon Powder - Native to Vietnam this cassia is known as Saigon Cinnamon or Vietnamese Cinnamon. The cinnamon oil content of our Saigon Cinnamon Powder is very high at 5% which makes the flavor outstanding and leads many cinnamon aficionados to call this particular variety the best you can get.
Organic Flax Seed - Health nutritionists call flax one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. There are numerous research studies that say that it helps reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. We add ground flaxseed to our daily oatmeal, in smoothies, into stir-fry dishes, soup, stews, cereal and yogurt. Since flaxseed is about 40% oil you can reduce the oil needed in any recipe that calls for olive oil. Flaxseed is also gluten free.
Organic Chia Seeds - Chia seeds pack more omega-3 than any other natural source (including more than Atlantic Salmon which has a stellar reputation for its omega-3 powers) and they are loaded with antioxidants (even more than blueberries). And according to WebMD "Use chia seeds in foods, not as a supplement, but as an alternative to processed grains like white bread because they are a much healthier whole grain."
