Pumpkin Pie Spice | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Pumpkin Pie Spice A darling pumpkin pie spice blend that’s for more than pies. Lattes, breads, muffins, sausages, cakes, and even apple pies all benefit from it.   Pumpkin Pie Spice is a warming, sweet spice blend with an iconic, beloved flavor that conjures up fall and winter. We mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice to create a seasoning powder to add to your favorite pumpkin dishes. All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO   Technically a blend of spices, Americans treat it as a unique, single spice. This is a combination of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg. The result is a pungent, rustic combination that hits all the sweet spots in the nose and on the tongue. The issue with pumpkin spice powder is you buy it once a year for the holidays. Come January, it then sits for 10 months and goes stale. Our recommendation? Any recipe that asks for ginger or cinnamon, try using pumpkin pie spice instead. You’ll find it works for a wide variety of applications like roasts and pilafs. Recommended Applications This spice blend is obviously perfect for pumpkin pie, but also is great with mashed sweet potatoes, mashed butternut squash, or glazed butternut squash. Can also be included in dessert recipes to enhance any pumpkin flavoring. Basic Preparation Ready to use as is, no preparation is necessary. Ingredients Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.

Whole Nutmeg – 4 oz. | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Whole Nutmeg – 4 oz. There’s an American legend that sham spice merchants once sold fake nutmeg seeds that were carved from wood to unsuspecting cooks thinking they were getting a solid deal. This led to the term “nutmegger,” which is synonymous with “charlatan.” No worries about our nutmeg. 100% Real. Perfect for your sauces and your cakes. Whole Nutmeg is best when grated prior to adding to a recipe. To do so, utilize a nutmeg or spice grater. Add this spice at the end of cooking, as flavor diminishes with prolonged heat. Nutmeg is fantastic with savory dishes to include braised vegetables, steamed spinach, onion sauces, or pasta. All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO Nutmeg comes from an evergreen tree native to the Spice Islands near Indonesia, but has been cultivated throughout the tropics by both native cultures and foreign. Nutmeg is the nut from the Myristica fragrans tree. The fruit surrounding the nut is often candied or turned into preserves, or juiced and turned into a “nutmeg” syrup. The aril around the nutmeg is the spice we call mace. Nutmeg, however, is the primary harvest. The flavor is warm, rich, and intensely aromatic. Tropic wood, cloves, pine, and camphor are the primary flavors; a warm blanket of a scent if there ever was one. It’s something you can cuddle up in, which is why it’s become so prized in both sweet and savory cooking worldwide. Recommended Applications Nutmeg is fantastic with savory dishes to include braised vegetables, steamed spinach, onion sauces, or pasta. Other great applications include apple pie, muffins, spiced wine, eggnog, puddings, or any other sweet dish. Basic Preparation This spice is best when grated prior to adding to a recipe. To do so, utilize a nutmeg or spice grater. Add this spice at the end of cooking, as flavor diminishes with prolonged heat. Ingredients Nutmeg.

Cream of Tartar | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Cream of Tartar So what the heck is cream of tartar? Well, cream of tartar is a more memorable and certainly more endearing name for potassium hydrogen tartrate. It’s a byproduct of wine that was given this sexy sobriquet in honor of its near alchemical nature.   Cream of Tartar is a fine white powder typically used in baking to control stability, texture and rise. Cream of Tartar is great when used to make soufflés, meringues, angel food, chiffon cakes, and candy. The suggested rule of thumb for these recipes is to use 1/8 tsp. per egg white. All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO   Okay, but really, what is it? Potassium hydrogen tartrate is a potassium acid salt left behind by grapes during the fermentation process. It’s the main acid in winemaking and during the process this acid can crystallize into “wine diamonds” and settle with other sediment at the bottom of whatever vessel is being used to ferment the wine. The crystals are purified and ground into the powder we call Cream of Tartar. So, what do you use this tartar powder for? Often it’s added to baked goods to help activate baking soda to create rise. In fact, baking powder is just baking soda mixed with Cream of Tartar. A pinch can also be added to sugar before it’s cooked to prevent crystallization when making caramels or certain candies. It’s also extremely helpful when making macarons, pavlovas, floating islands or other dishes that use whipped egg whites as the powder stabilizes the air bubble matrix and keeps your meringue stiff. Recommended Applications Cream of Tartar is great when used to make soufflés, meringues, angel food, chiffon cakes, and candy. The suggested rule of thumb for these recipes is to use 1/8 tsp. per egg white. Basic Preparation No preparation required, ready to use as is. Ingredients Cream of tartar.
