Candied Ginger
Okay, yum! Our candied ginger makes a great treat right out of the bag. The pieces are sliced and irregular in shape, but we've found the flavor and texture to be superior to "chopped" versions. It is easy enough to do the chopping to suit your recipe, and the leftover pieces get snapped up every time.Try candied ginger in baked goods like ginger snaps, or as a sparkly garnish on cakes and pies.
Caraway Seed
An Eastern European culinary staple; potato, cabbage and heavy meat dishes benefit from the strong, savory character of caraway seed. Its flavor is most recognizable in rye bread.The flavor of caraway infuses seamlessly into maple syrup for a delightful topper on granola and fruit.
Cardamom Seed
Cardamom presents a pungent mixture of camphor, citrus, and floral notes that combine to create a heady flavor experience. The volatile flavors diminish quickly once cardamom seeds are ground so purchase and/or grind only as needed.Use freshly ground cardamom seed for Turkish coffee, tea cakes, or sweetmeats.
Caribbean Curry
Curry was brought to the Caribbean both by Indians introduced to work sugar plantations and by British colonizers. Allspice is native to the region, and it is the focal point of this curry along with ginger and habanero chilies for a fruity heat.Caribbean Curry has an affinity for seafood, but is equally good with chicken, and beef.
Caribbean Spice
This bright and sassy seasoning combines the classic flavors of the Caribbean: allspice, ginger, habanero and cinnamon. Use it to add island flair to chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables.
Cascade Mushroom Mix
This blend pairs ground porcini mushrooms with powdered Worcestershire, black pepper, onion, and garlic to create a powerful umami flavor that adds a rich and hearty body to your dishes and brings out the deepest flavor from any cut of meat.Cascade Mushroom Mix works great as a standalone blend, or paired with other blends to make a combined seasoning. Use it as a base in soups and stews, mashed potatoes and gravy or on any cut of meat.
Celery Salt
Our version of this classic blend adds fresh ground celery leaf and celery seed to a base of kosher salt, with a touch of onion for subtle sweetness. The combination delivers a concentrated, herbaceous flavor that enhances and brightens savory dishes. Use it to season soups and stews, enrich poultry or bread-based stuffings, energize potato salad, or deepen the flavor of broths and stocks. It also adds a clean, briny kick to Bloody Marys, salad dressings, and pickled vegetables.
Celery Seed
The tiny celery seed imparts a bitter flavor far beyond its size. An essential ingredient in everything from pickles to Worcestershire sauce to a great Bloody Mary, the bitter principle from a bit of celery seed is just the ticket to round out a flavor profile. Cajun and Creole cooking rely on celery seed for their signature flavor—a blend of celery seed, mustard seed, bay leaf and thyme.
Ceramic Spoon
Handcrafted with care, this 6.6" ceramic spoon pairs a speckled glazed bowl with a natural clay handle. Perfect for salts, condiments, sugar, or scooping coffee and tea, it adds a warm, rustic touch to your table and complements any serving dish.
Chaat Masala
If you want to try something really different, this blend is for you. This traditional Indian masala is used to season fresh fruit, steamed vegetables, and yogurt based salads called "raitas". Its unusual tangy flavor comes from anardana (dried pomegranate seed), amchoor (powdered green mango), and black salt.Unlike most Indian spice blends that require cooking to release their flavors, Chaat Masala is used as a condiment seasoning and is sprinkled directly on foods at the table or snack stand.
Chai Masala Set
Did you know “masala chai” means spiced tea in Hindi? Chai Masalas are spice blends traditionally brewed with black tea, and there are as many versions of chai masala as there are aunties who make it best. In this set, there are two traditionally-styled blends as well as our bestselling floral version that is sure to win your heart. We’ve also included a strong black tea to use as a base, so you have everything you need to enjoy some traditional and not so traditional versions of this ancient beverage at home.

If you want to drink them that way, too, we promise not to tell on you.Includes ready-to-use half cup pouches of:Classic ChaiPink ChaiRoast ChaiJorhat AssamDetails below.

Try it with lavender for a relaxing cup before bed or add some orange and mint to a jug of iced chamomile for the perfect summer beverage.Brewing Instructions: Steep a small handful of flowers (3-4 teaspoons) per 8oz cup at 210°F for 5-6 minutes
Chervil
Chervil is a sweet and delicate herb from France that gives a delicious, mild flavor to poultry and fish. Found in the classic Fines Herbs and other delicate blends, Chervil works best when cooked for shorter times and should be rubbed to release flavor just before it is added to a dish. Try a simple mixture of chervil and dill weed on your next piece of fish for a flavor combination that will dance around the palate.
Chimichurri Spice
Chimichurri is a staple of Argentinian cuisine, traditionally made as a sauce served with grilled meat. Our spice blend that bears the name is a mix of mild chiles and spices that makes a perfect base for the sauce.Chimichurri sauce is made with fresh herbs, citrus and vinegar.

Chipotle Chile Flake
The potent flavor of chipotle flakes adds robust smoke and heat to any dish. In addition to classic Mexican fare, we like to include a hint of chipotle chile flake in fish rubs, soups, and stews for a bit of belly warming goodness.
Chipotle Chili Powder
Chipotle morita is a smoked version of the jalapeno, and it adds both heat and smoky flavor to this robust chili powder. Unlike many commercial chili powders, this blend contains no salt, so be sure to add some to suit your taste.
Chives
The delicate flavor of mild onion in this herb adds mouth watering flavor to many dishes. Use them on baked potatoes with sour cream, sprinkled on soups, rubbed on chicken or mixed into herb dips for vegetables.
Chopped Garlic
The flavors of dried garlic are a little different than the fresh—in some ways more concentrated, but without the more volatile compounds that are lost in the drying process. Regardless, it's convenient! Dried garlic is also more palatable to some folks who find the fresh version too intense. This chunky garlic can be used as it is or crushed in a mortar and pestle to create interesting textures in your dish or spice blend.
Chopped Ginger
Chopped ginger is great for infusion into teas and syrups. When the hot water hits the spice, the "bite" of ginger is re-hydrated and the aromatic qualities transfer to the liquid. We don't recommend grinding this ginger at home as the rough fibers are very difficult to process. Use ginger powder if you need the ground form for baking.
Chorizo Bomb
There's a reason we call this blend "the bomb." The explosion of flavor comes from a showcase of our best chiles from around the world, from the pasilla oaxaca of southern Mexico all the way to Turkish urfa biber, mixed with a great supporting line up from the herb garden. The heat level is medium and the flavors are rich and smoky.
Chrysanthemum Flower
Chrysanthemum flowers are naturally caffeine-free and brew a delicate, light tea with a floral aroma. Traditionally steeped for multiple infusions, chrysanthemum goes well with the addition of sugar.Brewing Instructions: Steep 3 teaspoons (a small handful of flowers) per 8oz cup at 210°F for 3 minutes
Cinnamon Cassia Chip
Cassia chips are ideal for chai masalas, mulling spice, and tea blends. The chips release more flavor than sticks, but are still easy to remove or strain from an infusion. The high oil content of this Indonesian cassia variety is consistently strong and pure.
Cinnamon Stick
Cassia cinnamon sticks are a delicious addition to dishes sweet and savory, and the perfect choice for mulled beverages and toddies.
