Tools of the Trade Part Three of Three

Our final stop on this tour of my favorite spices and the companies behind them is Zach’s Spice Company.  They offer a huge selection of spices for a variety of cooking needs.  Whether you need BBQ rubs, jerky spices, sausage making ingredients, or seasonigs for a variety of dishes you can make at home, Zach’s has something for you.  Again, like the other companies I have not tries everything they offer.  Not even close but what I have tried and continue to use is good stuff.  From their website

Zach’s Spice Company has been providing the highest quality products and customer service to the food industry for over 30 years. We service customers in different parts of the country with a wide variety of products.

Zach’s Spice Company provides spices and blended seasonings to restaurants, grocery stores, meat and sausage processors, and home consumers. Only the best of ingredients are used to meet the high standards of the food business.

Their Barbeque Spicey Rub is excellent.  It’s full of flavor an not too salty, so I can slather it on as thick as I like.  The complaint I have had with other fine rubs is that their salt content was a hindrance to it’s heavy use where a person wanted more flavor.  Not with Zach’s.

If you prefer a sweeter flavor their Barbeque Sweet Style Rub is quite good.  Some people don’t want a lot of spice on their BBQ.  In these instances I use this sweet rub.  Again not too salty, so you can decide how much flavor you want.

In addition to these products they offer many other rubs, batters, sausage and jerky seasoning, and seasonings for making soups, chili, and other dishes. 

I can recommend them based on my good experience with their products.  You can order them online at Zachspice.com or find them in meat departments around the country.

When looking to add a spice, marinade, or other ingredient to your arsenal it is nice to know what you are getting into.  Having a recommendation from someone else can help save some time in trying to find that new thing.  All of the spices I mentioned in these three posts are ones I use, and I did not get a thing from the manufacturers (darn it).  These will work on their own or make a good base for you to expand on in your masterpieces. 

Please let us know how these things work for you or recommend your own ingredients you’ve used in making ‘The Good Stuff’ in your house.

I hope this is useful and Keep Cooking
