Tuesday, my wife and I were in Las Cruces for stuff and visited Sprouts as we don't get over there very often. Cruised past a display of interesting stuff and saw this interesting product. And procured it.
it has a very interesting flavor profile, for our purposes it will probably go well in my Burmese Coconut Cake (from Milk Street) and with an icing for it. Very reminiscent of what you'd expect of a chai-blended sugar.
But the ingredients of this "chai" sugar kinda blew me away: it contains no chai!
Herein are the ingredients: organic cane sugar, organic cinnamon, organic ginger, organic cardamom, organic clove, organic black pepper, organic sunflower oil, organic allsipice.
No chai.
So it's Chai-FLAVOR Finishing Sugar!
Still, kind of a fun accessory. Too expensive as a primary cooking component, but a decent add-in.
