International Spice Premium Gourmet Spices- ALLSPICE GROUND -16 oz-

Smoked salt is supposed to smell like clean smoke: hickory, apple wood, whatever they've used.The list of ingredients for "International Spice" "Hickory Smoked Salt" is, and I'm not kidding: "Salt, Liquid Smoke," and it smells like it. The product Liquid Smoke smells like chemicals. Creosote, to be specific. That's not necessarily a slam against the product, which I use from time to time. But it is a slam against this allegedly "smoked salt."This salt has a foul chemical odor, and a clumping texture more suggestive of brown sugar. It's obvious the supplier has done little more than pour liquid smoke into salt. It's a nasty product, and I can't imagine circumstances where anyone would benefit from its use. If you don't mind the peculiar chemical odor, save your money and just buy liquid smoke and salt. I've used real smoked salt for decades, and never encountered anything as foul smelling or clumping as this product. I would never have ordered it in the first place, except real smoked salt has somehow disappeared from all the store shelves in my area. Even my favorite premium spice supplier does not carry it. Strange.But buying this product is not the solution. Do not buy it: it's nasty.

One of the reviews sais this taste like hay. I thought maybe is a bit of an exaggeration . Dill weed normally keeps the fragrance and savor for years. If it is Dill weed. Where I come from half of the dishes are made using this spice. In little farms people gather it and hang it to dry in sheds . Bouquets , long stems and all for years. So I know how it should smell and taste. This is anything but dill weed . The jar came unsealed but Im sure this is not the reason for being so bad. Customers are attracted by the large quantity so they take a chance hoping for the best. Like I did. Returns are not accepted Hm ! I wonder why . Maybe because they know 90% of the customers would want to return it. My advice ? Don't be fooled .Even though is just $9.99 is not worth it because is gonna end up the trash anyway ! No wonder Ive never heard of this brand. Stick with what you know !

There is a lot of white in it, like there is seeds ground up with it. I have not opened it to use it. I just bought more Ancho chili to remove the seeds and just grind up the shells. It looks like dark red chili powder when I am done. I use a lot of Ancho Chili powder, like when I make chili without chili powder. I makes Barbecue sauce pretty easy. I added some ketchup, and it tasted like barbecue sauce. I mix peppers together with some ancho chili powder and chipotle chili to make great hamburgers flavor. I use 2 tablespoons in 2 pounds of Chicken Fajitas, and they taste great. There just seems to be a lot of uses for Ancho Chili enough to need a big bottle of it.In the hamburger flavoring, I use onion power, Garlic powder, Ancho chili powder, chipotle powder, and cayenne powder. It has enough heat, that will make it taste hot with it mixed in the meat, but has a great flavor with it sprinkled on the hamburger while cooking.

We just this received it today (10 minutes ago actually ) and the label is worn you can not read it, the seal was not sealed and it tastes plus smelled like its old , Horseradish should be strong. Can not return it because its food? :(

There is very little horseradish taste. Almost no bite at all. I believe this might be 95% corn starch. There is a zero return policy. My photo shows how to use this product.

package was destroyed when I got it, half of the product was gone, and had spilled and leaked out, so what I had left was okay, except for the clumping from being exposed to moisture after the lid was undone during shipping. It had to be loose when placed in the shipping bag, because the bag was sealed and the lid was off. otherwise taste was okay.

This is *NOT* gumbo filé. Gumbo filé, by definition, is made from ground leaves of the sassafras tree, and does not have oregano, thyme, sawdust, or whatever, added to it. I have lived in south Louisiana all of my life, and if you want REAL Cajun-tasting gumbo filé, order Zatarain brand and not this stuff. I bought a 16-ounce container of this, and it is at the bottom of my trash can. Oh well, you get what you pay for, right? So don't pay for this, unless you don't want to know what REAL gumbo filé tastes like. Buy this instead: https://www.amazon.com/Zatarains-Gumbo-File-12-Ounce/dp/B06XVGRJ89 It's made from pure ground sassafras leaves. You're welcome.

This more closely resembles dried lawn clippings in aroma and appearance. It has very little resemblance to dill in its aroma and flavor.It has wide variation in size from fine to long, coarse pieces with an overall brownish to tan appearance of many of the pieces and a dull brownish green to others.The price was great, but it was ultimately a waste of money I won’t make again for a product with quality this poor if not a misrepresentation of what it is.
