THE DETAILS

Organic Ground Dates, Sea Salt, Spices (including mustard), Paprika, Granulated Garlic, Granulated Onion, Citric Acid and Rice Concentrate (anti-caking)

Pour into a clean, dry Desert Dust bottle or use directly from the bag. Sprinkle before cooking or finish to taste.

We use dried, ground dates from California’s Coachella Valley instead of refined sugar. They bring body, depth and a little natural sweetness, balancing the spices without taking over.

Reseal the bag after each use and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and stove heat. Refill only a clean, completely dry bottle, and use a dry spoon or funnel. Follow the best-before information on the bag.

ABOUT DESERT DUST

THE DUST REPORT.

  • Awesome all purpose seasoning.

    Love this seasoning. Used it initially for grilled salmon and now I use it on lots of things. Just a hint of smoke, heat, and sweet.

  • Flavor upgrade to the classics

    So my family is very happy we discovered Desert Dust on our trip to Palm Springs last month. I try an use where i would’ve just used salt and pepper. It makes the best baked chicken and the boring steam veggies are now a stand alone dish. Thank you Desert Dust👍

  • Truly ALL Purpose!

    I've used Desert Dust on meats and salads, on fish and fruit, i've seasoned pumpkin seeds, used it as a rub or part of a marinade, added it as a topping, and a secret ingredient in chili. My favorite use is on top of a freshly sliced avocado. Brilliant stuff.

  • Perfect seasoning

    Use as you would salt, a spinkle here, a dash there. Subtle flavoring with great back flavors when used gently. More pronounced flavor when used aggressively or used as marinade.

  • Best seasoning ever

    This is the only seasoning I use. It is great on everything. This is the only seasoning that I used the whole jar in just a few months and had to buy more
