How people cook with it

To use, simply sprinkle the seasoning generously over your food before or during cooking. It can be applied to raw meats, poultry, and seafood to create a flavorful crust.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and flavor, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from entering and clumping the seasoning. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the spices.
