Some products make life better and easier. This is one of those products. I overlooked how special this was to me until recently when I realized and panicked, oh no, only one little spice reservoir left. This collection has saved many meals for me, even turning the worst frozen pizza or a simple bowl of pasta with nice cheese, into a special tasty meal. And, I am the pickiest person, a real pain! I cook, every single day no matter what, it is part of my daily zen practice even if I just cook for my dogs. I was fairly boring in the spice dept. sticking to what I knew for way too many years. These spice options, together with fresh garlic, onions or any vegetables or not, will turn any boring meal into very exciting exotic dishes. As far as dipping spices? Excellent, and once you try them, you will be hooked. Whether you use these spices for bread dipping, pizza, pasta or even steak, you will thank yourself for trying them. This was the first "gourmet" item I owned for many many years, that must have arrived in a gift basket originally because I always insisted I always had to have fresh or that I needed to stick to what I knew when cooking. Rules that were meant to be broken. I completely disregarded this option, in the back of my cabinet until Covid hit and during that time, I rediscovered it and now use it weekly. It is a small inexpensive way to add joy to every meal and turn it into something "special", a treat to be relished. I think you will enjoy them too.
