Modernist

Are you a foodie who loves contemporary cooking and follows all the latest trends? Our Spiceology Modernist collection is something to experiment with. If you love Sous Vide, fluid gels and emulsifying, then listen up! We have your ingredients wish list right here… 

Calcium Chloride helps firm milk when making cheese and it’s a key ingredient for spherification. It also adds saltiness to some foods without increasing the sodium content.  If you’d like to give it a try, be sure to also pick up a jar of Sodium Alginate at checkout. 

Are you familiar with the latest “Black Lemonade” trend? Activated Charcoal is the secret ingredient, it turns the popular drink black but it also adds intense darkness to anything you mix it with. Try it in doughs, sauces, smoothies, lattes, and like we mentioned, lemonade. Gluten-free and Paleo diet followers love Arrowroot. It’s basically corn-free corn starch, and is the most common substitute. Our Arrowroot Powder is the champion of stews, gravies, glazes, and baking. 

Our complete collection also consists of Curing Salt, and Pectin, along with Tapioca Starch, which is a thickener for puddings, breads, and sauces. It doesn’t lose consistency, even when reheated or frozen. A similar, plant-based option is Xanthan Gum. It also helps emulsify liquids that would otherwise separate and is a popular option in gluten-free cooking.

Ascorbic Acid is part of our collection, too. A vitamin found in citrus and green vegetables; it provides a nice tart flavor, but most Chefs like to use it as a preservative. You can easily order it here on Spiceology.
