Why Make Your Own Seasoning Blends

You don’t need a cabinet full of store-bought bottles.

Most blends are built from:

• salt
• pepper
• garlic
• onion
• a few spices

Once you have those, you can mix almost anything.

Making your own:

• saves money
• cuts down on fillers
• lets you adjust salt and flavor
• keeps everything in one system
