thewayneThey have two items in their spice section that I highly recommend.
First is their Black Garlic. This stuff is fermented, making it slightly candied and VERY yummy! You can eat it by itself - in small quantity - for a little nibble. Good on all sorts of things, though it may discolor some stuff like eggs.
Next is their powdered mushrooms, labeled as Mushroom & Company: Multipurpose Umami. I normally don't like mushrooms, but this stuff is very useful for adding flavor and lets you sneak it in for people like me who don't like the appearance and texture of mushrooms. Sadly, I thought I'd bought another bottle of this the last time I was in Phoenix, but either I didn't or I can't find it. Either way, I'm pretty much out. Oh, well. We'll be back in Phoenix in February if not sooner.
