The Art Of Arizona Chili Spices

By Essie Osborn


Who doesn't like a hot bowl of delicious chili? The problem most people face when considering this dish is how to make it for the entire family or a group of friends. Everyone has their own recipes and most are wary of on they are not familiar with. The basics are easy to prepare and from there things get tricky. Arizona chili spices can help most cooks with this dilemma.

The South Western states have a reputation for bringing the best flavors out in their meals. This area is where to go when you are looking for a spice packet to add to your recipe. The locals may provide you with their own concoctions or you can purchase any one of a hundred others by searching the internet. The ingredients in the spice packets are generally not listed online but the thing they all have in common is that the temperature gage will range from mild to fire house hot.

What many people do not know is that these spices have a wide range of uses. They can be used for meat rubs when roasting or grilling a large cut of meat. They can also be used as seasoning in other dishes where just a pinch of the mixture will perk up an otherwise bland dish. Some people go so far as to put them on the table in a pepper shaker and use them as they would salt and pepper.

The people who make the mixes often dry their own ingredients prior to mixing them. They support the local farmers by purchasing all of their fresh produce from farmers markets and use them to achieve the freshest flavors. Once dried they turn the produce to powder before mixing them together.

Because they are organically grown and processed these mixes contain no unhealthy ingredients that people do not want in their food today. They have no preservatives added such as gluten or MSG and the salt in most of them is sea salt. Very little salt of any kind is used because it can interfere with the natural flavors of the other components.

The larger producers of these packets have special prices for large purchasers. They have a whole sale pricing list that is used for large distributors of their goods. They have corporate discounts for large food producing enterprises who use their products. They also have gift packages that the customer can put together from products they have tried or packages that are pre-assembled with a sampling of many products in one basket.

Spice packets are not the only product that can be purchased from these companies. Many offer a full line of cooking and flavor pastes that are used on meats and in stews and casseroles. Some bakeries use them when making corn bread and other items. Hot sauces and some salsa mixes can also be found when you are searching the internet for these products.

Most recipes call for them to be complete in just a little over an hour and this can be a good thing for working people. The ease of preparation and the consistent good flavor you will achieve using these seasonings may be the best reason to continue using them.
