PRODUCT REVIEW: Swanson’s Vitamins Organic Spices

The wonderful people over at Swanson’s Vitamins sent me a package of organic spices to try out. I have been trying to cook with more organic products lately, so I was VERY excited to try out the products.

Cinnamon
The first product is ground Cinnamon, I use it in my coffee every morning. I love to the smell of fresh brewed coffee with a touch of cinnamon in the morning. It is FANTASTIC! First off…I have been having a really hard time finding ground cinnamon in the store lately {I can only find the cinnamon & sugar combo – and I do NOT want that} so I was super excited to get this one to try out. I am pretty sure that organic product have more of a ‘kick’ to them, I can actually taste the cinnamon in my coffee. So I give this product a thumbs up! I loved it.

Cayenne Pepper
Product number two is the Cayenne pepper! And what perfect timing…I have been wanting to try out my Red Pepper Hummus recipe. This recipe didn’t call for a measured amount of the Cayenne pepper, so I added as much as I wanted. I was great! I never realized how much I like spicy hummus and this cayenne pepper was the perfect touch. Again, another thumbs up!

Cumin
The last product that I used was the Cumin. Tonight I made a Mexican Black Bean soup that required cumin…I have never purchased cumin before, nor had I used it. And NOW I know what most of my Mexican dishes have been missing. This spice finished off the soup perfectly! Thumbs up!!

All in all, I was very impressed with the Swanson products! I highly recommend them.
