New Mexico Chile Flake
New Mexico chiles are a signature flavor of Southwestern cuisine. Mild and versatile, these chiles can be used to add rich flavor to just about any dish. The convenient flake form of these New Mexico chiles makes them easy to use in traditional sauces combined with tomatoes or tomatillos, as well as in stews, soups, and casseroles.
New Mexico Chili Powder
This Mexican-influenced blend was actually developed in Texas in the mid 1800s as a convenient seasoning for the classic "bowl of red." A mixture of paprika, chiles, cumin, garlic and onion—it makes the perfect seasoning base for chili con carne, tacos, fajitas, and all kinds of beans. You can also add a pinch of Mexican oregano for additional flavor. Unlike many commercial chili powders, ours contain no salt, so remember to add some to suit your taste.
Nigella Caesar
This genius seasoning for Caesar dressing is a snap to make and boasts all the flavors in a classic Caesar. The brilliance? We’ve managed to make it vegan. Worcestershire powder is the umami bomb instead of the traditional anchovy, and black salt with its slightly sulfurous taste opts in for the egg. It keeps well in the refrigerator and can be used for Caesar salad or as a flavorful marinade for chicken, fish, or vegetables.
Nigella Seed
Nigella seeds have a mild, nutty onion flavor, and they are used as a condiment in India and the Middle East on flatbreads and vegetable dishes. Their shape has an interesting appeal—edgier than sesame—but they can be used in many of the same ways. Give them a quick toast in a dry skillet to bring out the most flavor. Nigella seeds can be sprinkled on all manner of vegetable dishes and salads, from a simple stir fry to baked sweet potatoes.
Nora Chile
The Nora Chile, also known as the paprika pepper or pimiento choricero, is essential to Spanish cuisine. Similar in appearance to the cascabel chile, but sweeter and with less heat, the rich earthy taste of the Nora is a delight. Plus, they are really cute!Nora Chile is used to flavor soups, stews, paella, romesco sauce and some chorizo varieties. They pair wonderfully with seafood, including crab, octopus, cod, and rockfish, but they are also excellent with poultry. Try the Nora Chile in unexpected ways like smoky mashed potatoes, crab cakes, or octopus ceviche!
Northwest Forest Brine
Our Northwest Forest Brine infuses a range of flavors into all manner of meats, from trout to pork, chicken, and turkey. Juniper is the leading flavor with notes of pine and citrus, complemented by fennel, green pepper and allspice. We added alderwood smoked salt into the mix and this 8 oz. package is perfectly portioned for one gallon of water.You will need a brining bag or large container to hold the brining meat for up to 24 hours.To make the brine, bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add the Northwest Forest Brine. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar, and let sit for 5-10 minutes to release the spice flavors into the brine. Add another 2 quarts of cold water and wait for the brine to return to room temperature. Add the meat and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Nutmeg
A classic topping for eggnog and lattes, Nutmeg is a natural with cream sauces and custards. Grate some into your next stone fruit dessert for a flavor explosion! Nutmeg works in savory dishes as well—try a little in your next chicken casserole or spinach dish.We only sell nutmeg in whole form because it loses flavor so quickly, and the difference between the freshly ground spice and the pre-ground variety is like night and day. The freshly ground nutmeg is incredibly rich, earthy and complex—try it and you'll never look back! There are many grinders and graters on the market, but to make it easy our staff pick is the Microplane, which pulls double duty as a top-notch zester.
