Directions Thoroughly mix ingredients in a bowl and store in an airtight spice bottle. Label with ingredients and date to ensure optimal freshness.

To use: Add blends to your cooking in place of straight salt. They can also replace your table salt.

Pro Tips: If ingredients aren’t powdered to the same size grind, I recommend blending them all together either in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. This will ensure a more even mixture when adding to food. Having several blends made up in advance offers a wider variety of flavors to meld with different dishes. It’s a good idea to switch up your herbs so that your body can benefit from the varying vitamins and minerals. You can substitute some of the salt for seaweed powder to boost the nutritional benefit. However, keep in mind that seaweed contains naturally occurring iodine. While also necessary for optimal health, the National Institute of Health recommends that most adults not exceed 150 micrograms of iodine per day so adding seaweed powder to all of your meals may not be ideal. When adding new herbal ingredients to your health regimen, we recommend doing research and consulting with a healthcare practitioner to ensure that the new ingredients will complement your individual needs.
