There are so many reasons making your own spice mixes at home are better for you. Here are just a few that keep me coming back to mixing my own blends…
#1 You know what’s in it. You can chose quality, organic spices if that is important to you. You can control the sodium added. You can be sure there isn’t any other hidden preservatives or MSG.
#2 You can customize mixes to your preferences and really make your meals satisfying to you and your family.
#3 You can make larger portions for mixes you use most and save yourself some time!
