Seasoned salt
Salty with a savory, herby, or slightly smoky background flavor depending on the specific spice blend used.
Lens analyzedSeasoned salt is a blend of salt with added spices, herbs, and often a bit of sugar or paprika for color, used as an all-purpose seasoning for meats, vegetables, and snacks. It saves a step compared to measuring out several individual seasonings separately.
Where it comes from
Pre-mixed seasoning salts became popular grocery items through the mid-20th century as home cooks looked for convenient, all-purpose blends, with specific brand formulas becoming closely associated with certain regional cooking styles, especially in barbecue and grilling.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list, since seasoned salt blends vary widely in what spices they include and how much sodium they carry compared to plain salt.
Storing it
Store seasoned salt in a sealed container in a cool, dry pantry, where it keeps well for a year or more, though the herb and spice components fade in potency over time.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
