This month features the Yucatan Flavor Kit! The spices included this month were Achiote Recado Rojo, Pequin Salt, and The Super Greens.

The kit includes glossy, illustrated recipe cards. Each spice is featured in at least one recipe. They include a list of ingredients to put on your shopping list, as well as instructions f0r preparing and plating the dish.

The instructions are very streamlined. They assume you know some kitchen basics, so the entire process fits on a single card. The Raw Spice Bar site has more recipes for your spices, including options for restricted diets.

Here are the spices this month!

Achiote Recado Rojo: Toasted achiote (annato) seeds are joined by a medley of Mexican staples like cumin, oregano, and coriander, as well as cloves, to create  a slightly bitter rub that captures the essence of the Yucatan.

When blended with chiles and lime, this combination makes a potent rub that is very versatile.

Pequin Salt: Kosher sea salt blended with crushed pequin peppers, a tiny but powerful pepper that delivers a pleasant dose of heat.

The Super Greens: Spirulina, wheat grass, and maca are mixed with some ginger, blueberries, and vanilla, to make a vitamin packed boost of greens with a pleasant flavor. Ideal for a smoothie!

Raw Spice Bar spices are very high quality, and you couldn’t beat the freshness and potency of without grinding your own. The intensity of the fragrance always gets me, and the expert blending is evident – the mixes are well-balanced and project tons of flavor. I’m always impressed at how well the selections capture the essence of a region and its cuisine. I love that they go a step beyond a generic characterization of a country’s preferred spice profiles, instead delving into the distinct ethnic food traditions within a country’s cuisine.
