Caribbean Spice
Caribbean Spice
Caribbean Spice is a spicy-sweet seasoning blend that is salt- and MSG-free. It is also called Caribbean seasoning mix, Caribbean spice blend, Caribbean seasoning, or Caribbean spice mix.
The Caribbean Islands were a frequent stopping point on the spice trade routes into the Americas. The food from this region is the result of the fusion that happened when African, British, Chinese, Dutch, Indian, and Spanish peoples colonized or were displaced to this area.
Caribbean Spice is popular with:
- manufacturers of bitters, syrups, dip mixes, and sauces;
- independent spice shops;
- olive oil shops;
- seasoning companies; and
- catering companies
Flavor Profile
Caribbean Spice is sweet, warm, aromatic, peppery, and woodsy, with just a touch of heat.
How To Use
Caribbean Spice is ideal for chicken, seafood, pork, or beef. Mix it into Spiced Caribbean Meatballs with Rice. Picture island living when you make Spicy Coconut Shrimp. Swap it into our recipe for Caribbean Fajitas for a lower-heat version of that dish. Use this to give a savory-sweet twist to Sweet Potato Peanut Soup or to Ginger Spiced Grilled Pork Chops. This versatile seasoning can also be made into a zesty sauce by combining 2 Tablespoons of spice mix with 1 cup of ketchup.
Use Caribbean Spice when making chicken, beef, pork, seafood, leafy green vegetables, root vegetables including tropical roots like taro and jicama, tofu, tempeh, black eyed peas, plantains, or winter squashes.
