Spices have been a necessity since the day it came to be. In fact, history tells us of its fame and significance in the trade industry dating back to ancient and medieval period. Although its exact origin is unknown, the use of spices for culinary purposes may be traced to the Indian Sub-continent and the Southeast Asia Region. During the middle ages, it rose to become one of the most luxurious and expensive products available.
Today, the use of spices in cooking is as essential as air is to human beings. This may come as a bit of an exaggeration in comparison, but think about it this way, can you imagine frying without oil? You simply can’t, can you? Although with the use of spices, you actually have the option to opt out of using one. Then again, what shall become of the taste? Certainly, it is not something you want to serve the precious palates of your loved ones. And in the case of those in the food industry, the lack or absence of spices is simply, unforgivable to the delicate palates of the customers.
Developed by two women who have an overwhelming passion for creativity, TSP Spices claim ‘to bring high-quality organic herbs and spices’ sealed in one teaspoon packets and then stored in tin cans. The packaging aims to free your kitchen from cluttered messes the use of spice containers leave. They sell boxes of 12 packets of teaspoonful of spices for $9.00. Some of their widely in demand products are Organic Green Cardamom, Organic Korintje Cinnamon, Organic Lemon Zest, Organic Marjoram, Organic Oregano, and Organic All Spice. Recently, they have ventured into selling spice collection where different spices are packaged in one can for amounts ranging from $16.00 to $42.00.
The concept is basically good if one is only going to use a teaspoonful of spices. The difficulty will arise if the person finds the need to use more than just a teaspoon. When this happens, the product’s selling point of keeping the kitchen tidy versus using the usual containers will become unnecessary as half emptied packets begin sprouting the place in order to fulfill the need for great taste in food.
Another downside to the use of this product may be its price. Getting 12 packets for $9.00 may be a bit too much if you compare it to prizes based on weight (which is usually the case) in the market. Then again, the TSP is selling ‘organic’ spices which may be a necessity for the rather picky buyers.
Going easy on the budget may stir you away from getting one but you can start with trying it as an alternative to what you normally use. Nothing may compare to the good old fashioned measuring scheme but there’s always a way to convert your measuring style to fit the product that you decide to use.
TSP Spices can be a perfect gift for anyone who likes to experiment in the kitchen. They offer a variety of organic spices that have become a better choice, taste-wise.
