Warming spice - we’re talking ingredients like cardamom, clove, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, turmeric, and blends of Garam Masala, Jamaican Jerk, Apple Cinnamon, Ras el Hanout, etc. - they have a universal allure, and more importantly, add some amazing depth of flavor to dishes. 

  • They’re super versatile. Warming spices can (and should) be used in sweet and savory dishes and everywhere on the menu. 
  • They add depth of flavor. Warming spices can bring out the sweet notes already present in savory dishes, and they also pair well with rich, hearty and meaty dishes or anything with some serious fattiness. 
  • They can add the unexpected. When a dish is seasoned with salt and has the right acidity level, you can layer the flavor and impart some character with warming spices.
