Homemade All-Purpose Seasoning Recipe FAQs

What makes this seasoning different from store-bought all-purpose seasoning?

What I like about this seasoning is that you know exactly what is in it. With store-bought seasonings, there are often preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients that they sneak in. This seasoning can also save you money! It is usually cheaper to make your own than to buy one that is premade.

What is the difference between allspice and all-purpose seasoning? Are they the same thing?

No, don’t let the names confuse you, they are two very different things. Allspice is an individual spice, while all-purpose seasoning is a blend of spices. Allspice is derived from berries and has a very different flavor.

Can I use garlic salt instead of garlic powder?

I recommend using the powder, not the salt. You just want the essence of the garlic, not the extra salt. You don’t want an overly salty seasoning.

If a recipe calls for “house seasoning” can I use this all-purpose seasoning?

Yes, this seasoning makes a great house seasoning. Usually, a house seasoning is just a very versatile, flavorful spice mixture.
