Citric Acid Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
Warm, aromatic, and deeply complex, this North African-inspired spice blend brings together turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and a handful of dried herbs into something that smells absolutely incredible the moment you open the jar. Store-bought spice blends and seasoning mixes are a minefield for anyone avoiding citric acid, since it hides in all kinds of packaged products as a preservative or flavor enhancer. Making your own from scratch puts you completely in control of every single ingredient. Ceylon cinnamon is a thoughtful choice here ā it's milder and more nuanced than the common cassia variety, letting the ginger and turmeric really shine through. The optional cloves and rosemary add an extra layer of depth if you want to lean into the complexity. All it takes is a bowl, a spoon, and a few minutes of stirring before you have a fragrant, versatile blend ready to go. Rub it on chicken, stir it into stews, or toss it with roasted vegetables ā this jar will earn its place on your spice shelf fast.
