chrissybaby11 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What kind of spices can I have during these 30 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 you can have any spices and spice blends that do not contain any of the excluded ingredients. Most of your average, mccormick type blends have sugar and/or msg, so just be careful. There are plenty of options though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissybaby11 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks just confused a little...I know no msg... but any name brands people suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Personally, I love penzey's spices, but not all of those are compliant either. Really, you just have to pick up a bottle and read the back. If it says "soy," "msg," "sugar," "wheat," "milk," etc on it, put it back. It's really trial and error.

jennrider Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Are you looking for blends or stand alone spices? Most single spices are just what they say they are. The blends are where you can get ingrediants you don't want. I make my own blends and put them in cute little jars. I have a bit of a problem when it comes to jars. I can't resist them. A good rule of thumb: if the spices smell good together, they'll taste good together. Kroger sells a brand called Simple Truth Organic. They have spices. So far, I have only tried the cinnamon. It's fantastic. Google spice blends if you want some recipes. I love the mocha rub from ISWF. I have also found some good Italian sausage blends to use when making breakfast sausage. Spice blends are so easy to make and it is helpful to have them on hand for big cook days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissybaby11 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ok sorry...one of my Ms Dash's the Original looks like its all natural stuff but some say spice extractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennrider Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Found this definition: Spice Extract is the essence of the spice representing the essential oils and the taste component of the corresponding herb or ingredient. It is used as an ingredient to replace spice powder in dishes and processed food products. The extracts are advantageous for food producers because they are uniform and standardized providing consistent flavor, color and aroma. They are also hygienic with a long shelf-life, requiring less storage space and free from contamination by microbes. They are also marketed as dietary supplements or as alternative medicine.

kellyp Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 What about silcon dioxide? I just looked at several bottles of spices that I have and almost all of them have that in there! I'm irritated that I am on day 23 and let yet another label slip past me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennrider Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Here's the definition for that: What it is: Silicon dioxide is what gets in your bathing suit and your hair at the beach. Affectionately known as sand, it's also found in food. “It's used in a lot of things as a flow agent and partly because it does a nice job of absorbing a little bit of atmospheric humidity that would cause clumping in a variety of things,†says Milkowski. Swallowing a little sand at the shore probably never hurt you and it probably won't hurt you at the dinner table either. Where you'll find it: Salts, soups, and coffee creamer.

praxisproject Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 There's lots of great recipes for your own spice blends on blogs and recipe sites. Usually cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Silicon dioxide is fine. It's not ideal, but not a deal-breaker. ETA: My onion powder contains SD. I know it's there, but I hate that without it my onion powder becomes onion rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If anything becomes rocklike, keep it in a plastic bag, then you can squish it back to powder (something glass jars are not accommodating with lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFChris Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Is Flavor God Spices acceptable? You would need to look at the ingredients list on the label, and verify that all ingredients are compliant. If you have questions, you could post the ingredients here and we can tell you whether or not the product is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
