If you’re using veggie blend on your social media feed, you’ll want to know what’s in it. There are eight spices total: 

• Ground dried grains of paradise 
• Orima 
• African nutmeg 
• African black pepper 
• Ginger 
• Fennel 
• Cumin 
• Cinnamon 

Each spice, from grains of paradise to cinnamon, brings a distinctive taste to the blend as a whole. The flavor of veggie blend is complex and nuanced, but the mixed vegetable seasoning has a definite kick to it. Expect warm, subtle heat from the grains of paradise and a more robust heat from the African black pepper.  

Vegetable shish kabobs and easy stir fry are both made bold with veggie blend. The process to make the two recipes is fairly simple and straightforward. Follow the instructions below, substituting types of vegetables as needed.

• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
