Cajun spice mix is a spicy and aromatic blend rooted in Louisiana's Creole cuisine. This rich bouquet of spices adds heat, depth, and a warm spicy note to food. Black and white pepper, sea salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and paprika create a balance between fiery spiciness and rich flavor. It is used to give dishes a characteristic southern touch: perfect for marinating meat, seasoning vegetables and fish dishes, as well as for making aromatic sauces. When all ingredients are ground into powder, their aromas fully unfold, imparting richness and spicy complexity to dishes. This is the perfect blend for gourmets who love vibrant flavors and culinary experiments.
