Discover the Nom Nom Paleo Spice Blends Collection

For many years, our beloved Magic Mushroom Powder has stood out as one of the most cherished and frequently used recipes in the Nom Nom Paleo universe. Its incredible versatility and profound depth of flavor made it so indispensable that it became the *only* recipe we featured in every single one of our three best-selling cookbooks. Over the past decade, I’ve had the joy of developing countless recipes – literally dozens! – that call for this magical blend, guiding countless home cooks to craft their own jars to keep on hand.

The journey of Magic Mushroom Powder has been nothing short of phenomenal. It’s rocketed to fame, earning a spotlight on national television shows like The Today Show, and was exclusively sold in Whole Foods Market stores across the United States. Its widespread popularity even led a major U.S. grocery chain to create their own spin on this iconic seasoning, a testament to its unique appeal and flavor impact.

As my culinary adventures evolved, especially with the creation of many new Asian-inspired dishes for my latest cookbook, Nom Nom Paleo: Let’s Go!, I found myself experimenting with even more umami-rich spice blends. These blends served as brilliant shortcuts to achieving deeply delicious, complex flavors with minimal effort. For over two years, we dedicated ourselves to perfecting these new spice combinations, tweaking every detail until they were absolutely flawless. For months, I’ve been brimming with excitement, eager to finally share these incredible seasonings with all of you.

However, I also understand that not everyone can easily visit a brick-and-mortar store, especially with the ongoing challenges of our world. Many of you have consistently asked for online availability for years. So, after much anticipation and careful planning, I’m beyond thrilled to announce the official online launch of our new collection. Get ready to experience culinary magic with ease and convenience! [cue the drumroll, please…]

I am absolutely BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT about these incredible new Nom Nom Paleo spice blends! They represent years of passion, experimentation, and a commitment to bringing exceptional flavor into your kitchen. Each blend has been thoughtfully crafted to transform your everyday cooking into something truly special. Read on to discover what makes each of these new seasonings so unique and how they can revolutionize your meals!

Magic Mushroom Powder: The Umami Original

Here it is, folks: the one that started it all, the original Nom Nom Paleo spice blend that captured the hearts (and taste buds) of so many – our legendary Magic Mushroom Powder. This isn’t just any seasoning; it’s a true culinary game-changer that has earned its place as a staple in kitchens worldwide. If you haven’t yet experienced the wonder of Magic Mushroom Powder, prepare to have your cooking transformed forever.

Magic Mushroom Powder isn’t just a seasoning; it’s my ultimate not-so-secret weapon in the kitchen. I often use it as a flavorful alternative to plain salt, knowing it will infuse a powerful, savory burst of umami into virtually any savory dish. From simple roasted vegetables to complex braises, this blend has the extraordinary ability to deepen and enrich flavors in ways you wouldn’t believe. As eloquently described by The Oregonian:

“[E]very once in a while we discover an ingredient or technique that makes us rethink everything we’ve been doing in the kitchen. That just happened with Magic Mushroom Powder. It’s a spice blend with a psychedelic-sounding name, and while it has no hallucinogenic powers, it truly is magic, adding much-desired umami to everything it touches.”

This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of what Magic Mushroom Powder brings to your table. It’s a foundational blend that works tirelessly behind the scenes, elevating ingredients and creating a memorable dining experience. Its carefully balanced combination of ingredients provides a natural depth that can make even the simplest dishes sing. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook looking to enhance your daily meals, Magic Mushroom Powder is an indispensable addition to your pantry, offering a consistent and reliable way to inject gourmet flavor into your cooking. Discover why this iconic seasoning has become a favorite for so many!

Magic Mushroom Powder Ingredients: Sea Salt, Porcini Mushrooms, Red Pepper, Thyme, Black Pepper.

Spicy Sichuan Powder: A Tingly Taste Adventure

Are you ready for an entirely new dimension of flavor and sensation in your cooking? Our Spicy Sichuan Powder introduces you to the fascinating world of Sichuan peppercorns – dried berries from prickly ash trees native to southwestern China. These unique peppercorns don’t just add heat; they create a distinctive culinary phenomenon known as “málà” (麻辣), or “numb-spiciness.” This means that when you taste them, Sichuan peppercorns impart a pleasantly tingly, almost numbing sensation on your tongue, which in turn profoundly enhances and transforms the flavors of other ingredients in the dish.

For those who, like me, adore a good kick in their food, our Spicy Sichuan Powder is an absolute must-try. It promises to elevate your dishes beyond simple heat, introducing an intriguing layer of complexity. Use this tingly seasoning salt in place of your regular salt, and watch as it infuses stir-fries, hearty stews, comforting soups, and convenient sheet pan meals with an unforgettable zest. This blend is designed to provide that delightful “kick” of flavor, making every bite an exciting adventure.

But don’t let the “numb-spiciness” intimidate you! While we emphasize the unique tingly sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, I’ve carefully balanced this spice blend to be flavorful without being overwhelmingly hot. It adds a wonderfully engaging kick to your food, yet it remains remarkably kid-friendly. This means you can confidently introduce exotic, exciting flavors to your family meals without worrying about excessive heat. It’s the perfect way to explore a new palate without leaving anyone behind. Get ready to awaken your taste buds with our captivating Spicy Sichuan Powder!

Spicy Sichuan Powder Ingredients: Sea Salt, Garlic, Red Szechuan Pepper, White Pepper, Aleppo Pepper, Ginger.

Nomtastic Grilling Powder: Your All-Purpose Flavor Hero

As Samin Nosrat so brilliantly articulated in her seminal work, Salt Fat Acid Heat: “Salt has a greater impact on flavor than any other ingredient. Learn to use it well, and your food will taste good.” This timeless wisdom underscores the fundamental importance of salt in cooking. But what if you could take that essential element and make it exponentially better? That’s precisely what our Nomtastic Grilling Powder achieves! It’s not just plain old salt; it’s an entire flavor symphony in a bottle, ready to elevate every dish to new heights.

Nomtastic Grilling Powder is an absolute cornerstone in my kitchen, a truly indispensable staple for enhancing a vast array of culinary creations. It represents the perfect harmony between high-quality sea salt and a thoughtfully selected blend of my favorite all-purpose spices. This potent combination is designed to effortlessly level up whatever you’re cooking, whether it’s a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion feast. You’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again, transforming ordinary ingredients into extraordinary flavors.

And please, don’t let the name “Grilling Powder” limit your imagination! While it performs exceptionally well on the grill, imparting a savory, smoky depth to meats and vegetables, its versatility extends far beyond that. This dynamic seasoning can be used in place of salt on virtually anything! Sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, season your morning eggs, rub it on chicken before baking, or stir it into stews for an instant flavor boost. Its balanced profile of savory, aromatic, and subtly spicy notes makes it a universal enhancer. Experience the unparalleled convenience and flavor of Nomtastic Grilling Powder – your new secret weapon for delicious meals, any way you cook them!

Nomtastic Grilling Powder Ingredients: Sea Salt, Garlic, Onion, Mustard, Black Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, Parsley, Allspice.

Umami Stir-Fry Powder: The Essence of Asian Comfort Food

If you’re a long-time follower of Nom Nom Paleo, you’ll know I’m an unapologetic umami evangelist, absolutely passionate about savory flavors and a deep admirer of Asian comfort foods. This is precisely why our Umami Stir-Fry Powder holds such a profoundly special place in my heart and my kitchen. It’s more than just a seasoning; it’s a culinary homage, directly inspired by the comforting, aromatic flavors of the Chinese home cooking from my childhood. This all-purpose seasoning salt truly is another secret shortcut to achieving incredible deliciousness with authentic flair.

Forget plain salt when you’re whipping up dishes with an Asian influence. Instead, reach for this heavenly blend of dried shiitake mushrooms, pungent garlic, warming ginger, and crisp green onion. This thoughtfully curated combination is designed to infuse your stir-fries, noodle dishes, rice bowls, and any other Asian-inspired creation with an unparalleled depth of flavor. I promise you, this Umami Stir-Fry Powder will effortlessly elevate your Asian cooking to an entirely new, restaurant-quality level.

Speaking of elevation, you’ll find an abundance of brand-new recipes in my latest cookbook, Nom Nom Paleo: Let’s Go!, that prominently feature the Umami Stir-Fry Powder. This is no coincidence, as Let’s Go! is absolutely brimming with delightful Asian-inspired comfort food recipes. These dishes draw inspiration from my mother’s cooking and the diverse immigrant cuisines I grew up with in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. These foods and flavors bring me immense joy and comfort, and with the help of my meticulously crafted spice blends, I sincerely hope they will bring the same warmth and happiness to your kitchen and your table. Embrace the delicious traditions and create new favorites with ease!

Umami Stir-Fry Powder Ingredients: Sea Salt, Shiitake Mushroom, Garlic, Onion, Green Onion, Ginger, White Pepper.
