Tips and Notes

1. We don’t add any salt or black pepper to our spice blend because you will want to add those directly to your individual meal. This will vary from meal to meal and person to person based on personal preference. 
2. Don’t be afraid of the nutmeg. This is a very common ingredient in many poultry seasoning mixtures. If you really don’t want to add the nutmeg, you don’t have to, but it will cut out one of the dynamic flavor components of the seasoning.
3. Feel free to adjust it to your liking. You can add other things like onion powder, garlic powder, celery seed, or other fresh herbs to the blend. This will alter the flavor but there is no set rule when it comes to what one person’s taste buds prefer over another.
