American Spice Blends

Louisiana Cajun

Cajun comes from Acadian cuisine (French from Louisiana in the USA). It is an assembly of cultures where French aromatic herbs encountered the hot spices of Mexico and Caribbean. Cajun is a spicy blend featuring lots of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper and oregano. Various other seasonings can be added to taste.  


Remember salt is left out of all our blends, but you’re welcome to  add it separately to taste.
