Travel Spice Packs; the essentials

I recently read some great posts on traveling including traveling and short term rentals. My favorite was one called The 10 Spices I Bring with Me on Vacation from theKitchen.com.  I started doing this a while ago. Traveling to my Moms house, often found a missing spice. Or just not very fresh ones. It actually started with coffee, but that is another story.

So seeing the story and having my own background. I decided to put together something for the larder that you can get yourself and carry wherever you go.  Of we we had to do it the Larder way.

We are going to offer 2 versions of the Essential Spice Kit. I really have to agree with the fresh ground pepper thing, but just can’t fit a grinder into the things.

Simple 6

There is a small 6 spice kit; Six Essentials, in a cool round plastic container with pop tops to make them easy to use. Of course, the amount of spice in each slot varies a bit. But we have tried to include about one-half  ounce of each spice in the package.  The package includes Sea Salt, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Smoked Paprika, Artisanal Larder’s Devil Dirt, and Cinnamon. The container is 4 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches deep.

Essential 8

The larger 8 spice. Essential Eight holds between .5 to 1 ounces of each spice you do need when you travel. Each one of course varies just a bit based on the bulk of the item. The stack stands about 8 inches tall or laying on its side. The cylinder of spice is 2 inches in diameter. The Essential Eight are: Sea Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Artisanal Larder’s Devil Dirt, Cinnamon,

Get it and you are ready to go anywhere and still have your essentials. So get yours today.
