Episode Description


We are spicing things up with Mark Jacobs, Chairman of Watkins,
award-winning extracts, spices & herbs, seasoning blends,
grilling rubs & marinades, artificial dye-free baking
decorations, and more crafted in the USA since 1868; the
company with the first ever documented money-back guarantee
(talk about trusting your spices!).


Mark divulges the delicate (and sometimes dangerous) process
of sourcing the finest vanilla beans in Madagascar and explains
why vanilla can be so darn expensive, only sometimes. But
vanilla's not all they offer! Mark shares surprising health
benefits of spices, and spills the tea on how Watkins keeps their
huge variety of spices bursting with flavor - including a tip to
properly storing your spices at home.


Speaking of unique offerings, Watkins is now in the Bourbon
business, and we learn all about the intricacies of this new
exciting vertical for the brand. Mark even reveals the one spice
that mysteriously eludes Watkins (and why), and shares exactly
what to look for when you're on the hunt for the perfect spices.


Whether you're a spice connoisseur, a curious cook, or a foodie,
this episode is packed with flavor-boosting tips and fascinating
facts about food and the brand leading the way for delicious
flavors. - Did you know host John was the person who introduced
Harissa from Tunisia to the U.S. 15 years ago? Or that Himalayan
salt comes from Pakistan? - Tune into the episode for more.
