HERBS AND SPICES 10 A - ITALIAN: Tuscan Spice Mix

PART 10 A:  Tuscan

I have learned that there are two kinds of Tuscan spice mixes: one with fresh tomatoes and one not. I am dealing here with the one without fresh tomatoes. I have learned that there are several recipes out there for Tuscan spice mix and not all of them have the same ingredients especially the commercial ones. Here is a list of herbs and spices that could be in a Tuscan spice mix: (below photos)








  • sage*
  • fennel seeds*
  • thyme*
  • red pepper flakes*
  • green pepper flakes
  • black peppercorns*
  • rosemary*
  • sea salt* **
  • kosher salt
  • regular table salt
  • juniper berries
  • basil*
  • oregano*
  • garlic powder*
  • Spanish paprika*
  • granulated onion*
  • sugar
  • cayenne pepper
  • parsley*
  • marjoram*
  • cilantro
  • savory
  • crushed chili peppers
  • sun dried tomato*

*The most common have a star beside them.

**Don't let too much of any kind of salt overpower these wonderful flavors.
