Make Your Own Spice Blends
At GOLO, we love spices! Who doesn’t? Without them, all of our food would be bland. You may think that the spice blends on the grocery store shelves are safe but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Believe it or not, many spice blends contain very harmful ingredients. They contain MSG, anti-caking agents, artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, soy and corn derivatives that are mostly likely GMO. Mostly spices are also “sterilized” with small doses of radiation. (Eeek!) It’s super easy to make the blends that you find at the store and what’s better is you’ll be saving money! Think about the cost of a taco seasoning packet that lasts you one time – mix it together yourself and you are saving about 90%. Plus, you probably already have all the spices you need to make these recipes! Note: Make sure to check the label when you purchase the spices to make sure that they don’t contain any additional ingredients. We also recommend buying organic when possible.
