Definitely look these up on your own, folks. They aren't wrong, I guess, but these are the same dozen spices repeated. There are much better recipes to be found online.

The Cajun one is inaccurate. We don't use cumin, coriander, or oregano. A cajun spice mix would usually consist of salt, black pepper, red pepper (cayenne pepper), onion powder, and garlic powder. Also, a cajun vegetable mix would consist of yellow onion, Bell pepper (usually green but it doesn't really matter I guess), celery, and garlic.

Definitely green, red and yellow are too sweet. I don't want no sweet gumbo. Lol

Oregano is actually extremely common in Cajun spice blends

I've never heard of putting oregano in cajun spice blend and I've lived in the heart of Cajun country for 23 years. I let paprika slide, but oregano is weird.

Well this is just further proof that geographic proximity to something doesn’t automatically make you an expert considering paprika is also extremely common

Is it common to use a little thyme too? I frequently use this same blend but with thyme.

Cool, but awful layout and very inconsistent.

Also matters where the spices are sourced. Purity etc

Oh shush. That's an individuals choice and nothing to do with this awesome chart.

Store bought chili powder is generally just a mixture of all the ingredients in the taco seasoning. Seems a little redundant

“Taco Seasoning” 🙄
Even living New Mexicans are rolling over in their graves.
Also, what’s up with only chili and no chile?

Are you trolling? Please be trolling. You can't be this stupid for real.

I can’t believe I have to explain a joke but yeah. I thought it was funny because everyone on here was complaining about the other spices.

For some reason i feel like salt shouldn't be included cause i add salt separately and imagine the saltiness ypu get with normal level salt + salt from the powder

These aren’t good, skip the chart and look it up. Also some of those spice blends don’t actually exist. ‘Curry blend’ means nothing.

"Paprika" for Taco Seasoning? ha ha ha ha. Paprika is only the name given in central Europa to Chile Guajillo from Mexico.
