Essential Healthy Spices Every Kitchen Needs

Besides from salt and pepper, you really do need a few carefully selected natural spices in your kitchen to bring dishes to life. Natural spices can also be very good for you, adding essential nutrients to your diet, helping you to avoid synthetic sweeteners and keeping you away from factory processed foods. These essential healthy spices deserve a place in everyone’s kitchen spice rack.

Cinnamon Powder

Cinnamon powder is an awesome spice that can be used in a variety ways, from a substitute for sugar to sweeten drinks to adding it to breakfast cereals and toast. Cinnamon is naturally sweet, but also boasts a high mineral content and is widely known for containing lots of antioxidants.

Red Pepper Powder

Red pepper powder should always be used instead of chili powder to add some heat to meals. Chili powder is usually a mix of lots of different spices, but red pepper powder or flakes has just one natural ingredient. Studies suggest that red pepper can give your metabolism a boost and help to curb your appetite too.

Turmeric Powder
