Gullah Seasoning
Gullah Seasoning
Gullah Seasoning is an MSG-free, flavorful, aromatic seasoning blend. It is also called gullah spice.
Descendants of enslaved West Africans, the Gullah people have been preparing their special recipes for centuries, with many of the dishes rooted in a culture that is thousands of years old. It is a blend that originated among the communities on the coastal islands and the swampy low country of America’s southern seaboard, which encompasses North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It is herbal and aromatic, enlivened with black pepper but has no spicy, chile pepper heat.
Businesses that frequently purchase Gullah Seasoning are:
- olive oil shops; and
- companies that manufacture juice
Flavor Profile
Gullah Seasoning is sweet, herbaceous, peppery but not spicy, with a savory backbone of tomato, onion and mace.
How To Use
Gullah Seasoning is a great blend to use with beans, chicken, and seafood. Use it with traditional Gullah favorites like shrimp & grits or the long-simmering black-eyed pea stew, hoppin’ John. Stir it into the bread crumb topping for a Southern spin on Herb-Crusted Tilapia. Use this in a Crab and Corn Chowder or Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup. Swap out Cajun seasoning and replace it with Gullah for a mellow take on Crispy Cajun Chicken. Cook with rice, sausage, and seafood for fragrant Gullah Crab Fried Rice.
Gullah Seasoning pairs well with stews, beans, chicken, seafood, rice dishes, corn, soups, chowders, and sausage.
