Seasonings and Spices

Posted by Katy Doyle on September 30, 2014 at 3:35am

I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on Seasonings and Spices.

 

Such as cumin, coriander, cayenne (red) pepper, ginger, garlic, and etc etc. All without sodium. Do you season your vegan cooked meal? Or do you prefer no seasonings? What are some of your favorite things to add to your cooked meals?

    I mostly love and enjoying mixing these:

    garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, chilli flakes, rosemary, basil, chives, aniseed, cumin, coriander & fennel. :) 

    My 2 favourite ones being rosemary & chilli flakes (I like hot dishes)! :)

    Another combination I love to do is Sweet Potato Fries with Cayenne Pepper sprinkled on them :)

    Hey Katy, I love to use seasoning and spices. I think all dried herbs are perfectly fine to use, but I think cumin is quite high in fat as it is very oily. There is absolutely noting wrong with it though, I've used it on steamed potatoes and it tastes great. I also love to use basil and/or rosemary on my steamed potatoes, it fills your house with a great smell too. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with herbs and spices, if it makes it easier for you to stay on this lifestyle then great!
    Hope this helps :)

      I have a gorgeous herb garden where I grow basil (I make and can vegan pesto), rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic chives, lemon basil, and mint.

      I have noticed that cumin can get greasy and it will easily over-power your food if you use too much.

       

      Raw Till 4 is so easy for me to stick to. I love being vegan!

      That sounds awesome, they all sound definitely worth using and I bet your food tastes great. That vegan pesto sound interesting, what do you put in it?
      I agree, rawtill4 is very easy to stick to, I'm never hungry and always satisfied.

      Vegan Pesto: basil (sometimes I mix in spinach if I need to stretch my basil crop further), extra virgin olive oil (I usually half whatever the recipe calls for), pine nuts (optional depending on nut allergies), and nutritional yeast.

       

      Instead of actually canning, I put them into little mason jars and freeze it. (Sometimes canned things hurts my stomach, but freezing has always been successful for me.)
