Understanding the Difference Between All-Purpose Seasoning and Seasoned Salt

In the world of spices and seasonings, there’s a vast array of options to enhance the flavor of your dishes. Two common items that often come up are all-purpose seasoning and seasoned salt. While they might seem similar at first glance, they serve different purposes and have unique characteristics. Read the full article: Is all-purpose seasoning the same as seasoned salt?

All-Purpose Seasoning

All-purpose seasoning is a versatile blend of spices that can be used on a variety of dishes. The exact ingredients can vary, but it typically includes a mix of herbs and spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sometimes dried herbs like oregano or thyme. The goal of all-purpose seasoning is to provide a well-rounded flavor profile that can complement many types of food, from meats and vegetables to soups and salads.

Key Characteristics:

Versatility: Can be used on virtually any dish.

Complex Flavor: A blend of multiple spices and herbs.

Salt Content: May contain little to no salt, making it a great option for those watching their sodium intake.

Seasoned Salt

Seasoned salt, on the other hand, is primarily salt that has been flavored with additional spices. It usually includes ingredients like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, but the main component is salt. Seasoned salt is often used to provide a quick and easy flavor boost to dishes, especially those that benefit from the added saltiness, such as fries, popcorn, or grilled meats.

Key Characteristics:

Primary Ingredient: Salt is the main component.

Flavor Boost: Provides both saltiness and additional flavor from spices.

Convenience: Great for quickly seasoning foods without the need for multiple spices.

Differences Between All-Purpose Seasoning and Seasoned Salt

While both all-purpose seasoning and seasoned salt are used to enhance the flavor of food, their primary differences lie in their composition and use cases:

Salt Content: All-purpose seasoning has little to no salt, while seasoned salt is primarily salt-based.

Flavor Complexity: All-purpose seasoning offers a more complex flavor profile due to the variety of herbs and spices, whereas seasoned salt provides a simpler, salt-forward flavor.

Usage: All-purpose seasoning is more versatile and can be used in a wider range of dishes, while seasoned salt is often used for quick seasoning and is particularly good for snacks and grilled foods.

Conclusion

In summary, while all-purpose seasoning and seasoned salt might seem interchangeable, they are designed for different culinary purposes. All-purpose seasoning is a versatile blend meant to enhance a wide variety of dishes with a complex flavor profile, whereas seasoned salt is primarily used to add a quick, salty kick with some added spices. Understanding the differences between these two can help you make the best choice for your cooking needs.

Just got my order of spices from Amazon. Most importantly a pound of curing salt. I had wanted to do a pastrami brisket for last weekend, but wasn’t able to get curing salt in time to give it a full 7 day soak. Being that I have a pound of it now I’ll be able to cure a ton of meat! We also quite often have a hard time getting fresh rosemary and thyme, so I now have a back up for that as well. #amazonforthewin #clubhouse #thyme #parsley #rosemary #seasonedsalt #curingsalt #praugepowder #cookingsupplies (at Trenton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B92aoukg1k7/?igshid=197og8lr6x4lc

Surf and turf tonight! We picked up some sea bass from @costco tonight and a strip steak from @harterhouseeastgate. Both were seasoned with just salt and pepper and cooked it in a super hot @lodgecastiron skillet with ghee and garlic. I added some tarragon and crispy skins to the fish. Served with steamed then sautéed Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Both seasoned with @meatchurch Season Salt.
