All Purpose Seasoning FAQ
When using all-purpose seasoning, many people wonder how much to use, when to apply it, and what types of dishes it works best on. Missteps occur when the seasoning is overused, leading to overly salty or over-seasoned dishes. All-purpose seasoning should be used sparingly at first, gradually adding more until the desired flavor is achieved. It's more easily combined with the ingredients if it's added before or during the cooking process rather than sprinkled on top of finished dishes. To get the most out of all-purpose seasoning, use it on a variety of foods: it's excellent for seasoning protein sources such as chicken, beef, or tofu, but also flavours vegetables, rice, and pasta dishes nicely. Additionally, this seasoning can be mixed into sauces, dips, or dressings for an extra boost of flavor. Here's a little known tip: All-purpose seasoning can be customized. If a cook finds the seasoning to be too salty, they can make a homemade blend and adjust the salt content; likewise, herbs and spices can be modified to taste. Another tip is utilizing this seasoning for marinades; it simplifies the process greatly.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does all purpose seasoning expire?
When unopened, most all-purpose seasoning can last up to 3-4 years, even though the printed date on the package might be closer to 1-2 years. Once opened, we recommend using it within 2-3 years for optimum flavor, color, and aroma. Freezing all-purpose seasoning is not commonly practiced as it can affect the overall texture and flavor.
How do you tell if all purpose seasoning is bad?
You can tell if all-purpose seasoning has gone bad if you notice any discoloration, change in texture, or if it has lost its strong aroma. If it clumps together heavily or appears to have signs of mold, it's best to discard it immediately. However, most spices and seasonings don't sustain harmful bacteria or molds, so unless there's an obvious problem, it's generally considered safe to consume but might not deliver the desired flavor intensity.
Tips for storing all purpose seasoning to extend shelf life
• Always store the seasoning in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the quality over time. • Make sure the container is always tightly sealed when not in use. This prevents moisture or air from getting in and spoiling the seasoning. • While not necessary, you can store your all-purpose seasoning in the fridge to help keep it fresh for a longer period. Just be careful about condensation build-up when bringing it back to room temperature. • Avoid using a wet spoon or introducing any water into the seasoning container, as it can accelerate spoilage. • Decanting into a glass container often helps to preserve the flavor better than plastic.
