Store-bought spice blends are one of the sneakiest sources of hidden corn derivatives — from anti-caking agents to maltodextrin fillers that show up where you'd least expect them. Making your own blend at home puts you completely in control of every single ingredient. This version comes together in minutes with just six pantry staples: white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and flaky sea salt. The result is that bold, savory, slightly nutty flavor you know and love, with no mystery additives in sight. It's endlessly versatile — sprinkle it over avocado toast, eggs, roasted vegetables, or anything that needs a serious flavor upgrade. Stored in an airtight jar, a batch will keep for up to three months, so you can have it on hand whenever the craving strikes.
