Hot seasonings are, well, hot. Each major hot sauce manufacturer has at least 2 dry seasonings within their product line and there are several companies that make only ‘hot’ dry seasonings. So what’s my point? Well, in addition to the BBQ sauces, salsa and hot sauces I’ve been recieving for reviews lately, I’ve been sent a staggering amount of dry seasonings. Here’s a quick look at 3 so far:

Wewoff Salt & Jalapeno

Ingredients: New Zealand Natural Sea Salt & Jalapeno Pepper.

Pretty simple ingredient list for a not so simple taste. This is the first Jalapeno Salt I’ve encountered that actually tastes like jalapeno peppers.

There is a little bit of heat, but not anything my grandma couldn’t handle. Excellent for mixing into guacamole, your morning eggs or just sprinkling on anything you can find. Come in an easy pour zip lock bag.

Ashes

Ingredients: Salt, Spices, Garlic, a Select Blend of Dehydradated Vegetables, Red Savina Habaneros and Flour.

Spepper made waves when they introduced their Salt & Pepper combination, but CaJohn has come up with a combination just for Chileheads. Ashes is mix of CaJohns Fire Salt and Fire Dust.

The red savina give ashes a fairly high heat rating, but it’s not a hiccup alarm heat. It’s a great all-in-one dry seasoning that you can sprinkle on any food.

Great on X-mas leftovers! I used some Ashes this morning on 1lb of bacon, I simply rubbed Ashes into one side of the bacon before cooking it up and it turned out beautifully.

Pilarcita’s Hot & Spicy Mexican Seasoning

Ingredients: Chili powder, kosher salt, garlic, black pepper, paprika, onion, lemon & orange peel, herbs & spices.

Bea & B Foods really know their way around dry seasonings, specifically dry Mexican seasonings. My afinity for the Carne Asada Marinade is well known, but lesser known is how much I enjoy Pilarcita’s Hot & Spicy Mexican Seasoning. Simple ingredients and moderate heat make this seasoning a wonderful addition to morning eggs, rubbed on your holiday turkey or sprinkled on chicken breasts before they hit the grill.
