Over the years I have used a lot of different spice suppliers to procure specific spices, powders, and chilies.....
One of our own Brethren has add some limited spices to their inventory, including some pure ground chilies like Habanero, New Mexico, Serrano, and Guajillo peppers. I prefer to use pure ground chilies and mix/blend them myself to achieve the flavor I desire, and not settle for some unknown commercial chili powder blend.
I was also taken in by the bulk flake salt. I use Maldon flake salt but it can slightly costly depending where you buy it. I tried the fine flake salt and was pleasantly surprised that it is truly a flake salt. Although it is not Maldon, it looks like this will be a new staple in my kitchen replacing one of the sea salts I currently use at the table. Flake salts give a bolder sharper burst of salt flavor without having to use more salt. This comes from the flat flakes dissolving on the tongue which burst with flavor like a fireworks display.
I also bought some granulated honey to try in my next batch of bacon, and the next rib cook. It dissolves easily which should make it a welcome addition to any recipe using honey for flavoring.
Lastly I also bought some smoked paprika. Most smoked paprika use a lower quality product because the addition of smoke covers any imperfections in the product. Again this is a quality product with a nice balance between the spice itself and the smoked flavor.
