Why You Should Make Your Own Cajun Seasoning...
Of course it's very easy to pop to the store to buy a jar, but if you appreciate tasty homemade food then I suggest you to have a go at making your own. And with just a few spices and herbs you can create theblend you want; exactly how you like it.
Homemade Cajun Seasoning
There are a few downsides to store-bought Cajun spice seasoning...
You don't have control over what the manufacturer adds which can include fillers like husks, processed salt and cheap chili powder!
And of course, depending on the manufacturer, may include artificial flavours, preservatives and colouring
And cost, especially if you buy a lot commercially. Initially you will have to spend money, but once you have a few separate herbs and spices and a inexpensive grinder, you'll save money in the long run.
And of course, make them yourself and you're in charge of what goes in. Don't like a certain ingredient? Leave it out or substitute another. On a low salt diet? Reduce the salt or leave it out completely. Want more heat? Add an extra teaspoon of chili powder.
You get the idea, nothing is set in stone when you make your own!
