How to use it

The lazy cook's secret weapon. Shake on burgers, roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, or anything you'd normally add both salt and onion to — this does both at once. Great in French onion dip (mix with sour cream), meatloaf, and on baked potatoes. The onion flavor is toasty and sweet, not sharp like raw onion.

    Sea Salt

    Sodium chloride

    Seawater, evaporated. It is in twenty-five products here, which understates it — salt is the ingredient that makes every other ingredient taste like itself. Fine sea salt dissolves on contact and is the everyday cooking salt: a teaspoon in a soup pot, half a teaspoon...

What it goes with

Onion salt goes on comfort food, and comfort food calls for a bold tea. Our Assam's malty body handles burgers and roasted vegetables without blinking. For something unexpected, our Hojicha shares toasty, caramelized notes with the dried onion — try it.

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
