What Are Arizona Chili Spices

By Essie Osborn


Almost everybody enjoys a good bowl of chili but few know how to make it so that the entire family can enjoy it. The main ingredients are basically the same regardless of who is making the dish, they consist of meat, tomatoes, and beans. From this point everyone has their own ideas about what to put into the pot. This is where Arizona chili spices can come into play.

The South Western states have a reputation for bringing the best flavors out in their meals. This area is where to go when you are looking for a spice packet to add to your recipe. The locals may provide you with their own concoctions or you can purchase any one of a hundred others by searching the internet. The ingredients in the spice packets are generally not listed online but the thing they all have in common is that the temperature gage will range from mild to fire house hot.

The seasoning packets not only work with beans to make a one dish dinner they can be used for meat rubs and to season stews. When used on meat as a rub they can enhance the flavor when roasting or broiling it. Stews can be perked up with just a pinch of these spice mixtures. Some people believe that you do not need salt and pepper when using them and keep them on the table during meals.

In an effort to support the local economy many manufacturers purchase and process the ingredients locally. They use produce from farmers markets that sell locally grown vegetables. They hire local towns people to process the vegetables and create the powders and other ingredients to make the mixes.

The better packets are produced with none of the extra ingredients that have proven objectionable such as gluten and MSG. Most use a minimum of salt in their recipes, partially because it will disguise the true taste of their mixture and partially because of health concerns for their customers. One company uses only sea salt in all of their products.

Some of the larger companies offer discounts to wholesale buyers and customers who can distribute their products on a larger scale. A few manufacturers will put the sellers label on the mixes prior to shipping. The average person can still purchase these products on a smaller scale from the internet and in some local retail outlets. Gift baskets can also be purchased for individuals or as corporate give away items for employees or potential customers.

Other products are offered by the manufacturers in the form of flavor enhancing pastes for meat dishes. They can be used to step up the flavor in stews or as seasoning for poultry and fish. There are a number of hot sauces and other products to help with cooking your meals.

You can access recipes for chili on the internet also and with the help of these spice packages you may be able to create you own version of this popular dish. The one constant will be the quality of the spice mix you choose.
