| - Before I even go into how AWESOME this place is, let me be the first to dispel the myth that if you buy you're spices here, you'll be paying more....SOOOO NOT TRUE!
I did a price comparison, for the same spices at the grocery store vs Savory Spice, I bought 7 spices total (1 ounce each, which is almost 6 TBSP of each spice (salt will be less than that b/c it's heavier, and dried spices, like parsley will be way more than that since they're so lite.) and only spent $15, at the grocery it was going to be over $40....HOLY COW! Hands down I know where i'm coming next time i need more spices!
The advantages to using savory spice over the grocery?!
1. Spices are fresh, and freshly mixed and ground.
2. You pick how much you want (as little as 1/2 ounce and up). Some spices I will only use once when experimenting with a dish, so why buy a bottle when all i need is a teaspoon? (Contrary to popular belief, spices CAN NOT sit on your shelf for years on end and maintain their level of potency. It's better to buy smaller amounts, it will make your recipes taste better when you have fresh spices.)
3. VARIETY!-I am making Chicken Tikka Masala, one of the components is Cinnamon, why settle for the kind you can buy at the grocery, when you can come here and pick from 5 different kinds?! How cool is that?
4. Every container has the name and description of the spice. It even gives you an idea of how to use it.
5. You can smell and taste every spice in there. Grant it, I'm still learning the art of using more spices and less salt, so i don't quit know exactly what i'm doing just yet, however, knowing that that's an option in the future is super awesome.
6. Staff are exceptionally friendly, and knowledgeable.
7. They send your spices home with you in cute little bags (or a bottle if you desire), but they don't just sharpie the name on the bag, they have nice labels made up with the spice info on it, making it easy to remember what you have.
If you are even a passive cooker, but like to use spices, GO HERE! Excellent quality, and even better prices! You can not beat that!
