Premium Stevia Powder rounds things off for sweetening.

Flavour notes

• Nigella seeds: smoky and slightly bitter, with hints of onion and oregano. Toast them in a dry pan to bring out their aroma.
• Fenugreek: warm and faintly bitter with a maple-like edge, a familiar note in curry blends.
• Fennel and celery seed: fennel is sweet and aniseed-like; celery seed is grassy and savoury, lovely in soups and rubs.
• Nutritional yeast: nutty and cheesy, popular in vegan sauces and sprinkled on popcorn or pasta.
• Tomato powder: concentrated tomato flavour for soups, sauces and seasoning mixes.

How to use them

Nigella seeds are traditionally scattered over naan and flatbreads before baking, and they are one of the five seeds in the Bengali blend panch phoron alongside fenugreek, fennel, cumin and mustard seed. Turmeric and ginger go into curries, dals, golden milk and marinades. Stir tomato powder into water for an instant paste or add it straight to stews. The fruit powders are ideal for colouring icing, smoothie bowls, yoghurt and overnight oats, and pitaya gives a striking pink shade. Use coarse pink salt in a grinder and fine salt for baking and the table. Stevia is far sweeter than sugar, so a pinch goes a long way.

Storing and sizes

Ground spices lose aroma over time, so keep them sealed in a cool, dry, dark cupboard and away from the steam of the hob. Whole seeds keep their flavour for longer than powders. Fruit powders can clump if exposed to moisture, so reseal them straight after use. Most products come in sizes from small packs up to larger bags, and UK orders over £50 get free delivery.
