When I was looking around for unique spice combinations I found a place online called the Sedona Trading Company. They carry a line of eight spice mixtures under the brand Trail Gourmet.

The seasoning blends are Sedona, Southwest, Hatteras, Cabo, Asian, Italian, Great Lakes, and HabaJala. Each package contains 20 gel caps of spice. Why are they packaged this way? First of all it keeps the spices fresh and secondly it makes measuring in the field a no-brainer. The convenience factor is great.

The site also has a great little recipe book which you can find here…

Sedona Trading Company also ships to Canada.
