Fructose Free Thai Basil-Inspired Spice Blend
Bright, aromatic, and layered with heat, this spice blend captures the soul of Thai cooking in a single jar you can reach for any night of the week. Lemongrass and lime zest powder bring that signature citrusy lift, while ground ginger, coriander, and a touch of turmeric add warmth and depth. Red chili flakes keep things lively, and white pepper rounds it all out with a subtle, lingering bite. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, store-bought spice blends and seasoning packets can be a minefield — onion powder, garlic, and hidden sweeteners sneak into more products than you'd expect. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of those common triggers, so you can season boldly without second-guessing the label. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a fork, then keeps for up to three months in an airtight jar. Rub it onto proteins, stir it into sauces, or bloom it in oil — this blend does the heavy lifting so your meals feel anything but restricted.
