Enhance meals naturally with 7 mixed spices from Medfoods, delivering aroma and flavour that enrich meats, vegetables, and slow-cooked dishes.
Flavour Profile of Dishes Using 7 Mixed Spices
Robust and aromatic, the 7 mixed spices infuse a warm, earthy balance into various dishes. The blend typically includes ground cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice, each contributing to its bold culinary expression.
Intense yet harmonious, the spice mix complements meat-based recipes while equally enhancing vegetarian meals. Flavour delivery ranges from peppery heat to subtle sweetness, cultivating depth that lingers without overwhelming the palate.
Subtle hints of clove and nutmeg provide a sweet undertone, making the blend versatile for slow-cooked meals and rice-based recipes. The fragrance alone offers a sensory cue to its flavourful impact, elevating familiar meals with minimal effort.
Cooking Tips to Maximise the Use of 7 Mixed Spices
Incorporating the seven-spice blend during the sautéing stage releases maximum aroma and integrates the flavours thoroughly. A modest sprinkle—around one teaspoon per dish—delivers the desired intensity without overpowering the core ingredients.
Combining the blend with garlic, olive oil, or fresh herbs improves texture and taste synergy. A practical method includes mixing the spices into marinades or dry rubs, allowing proteins to absorb the mixture before grilling or roasting.
