I started making m own spice powder blends after my sister-in-law with Celiac disease got sick when a prepackaged spice was used. Turns out some brands add flour to the mix to increase the weight. When you blend you’re own spices, you’re in complete control of the intense flavors and there is no beating a fresh blend over a packaged mix that has since lost it’s aroma.
