Comb, crystallized, liquid, whipped and beyond—there are nearly as many kinds of honey as there are uses for it. The unique, mellow floral flavour of honey brings sweetness to everything it touches.

Pungent and strong, savoury garlic adds instant flavour into whatever you’re cooking. A member of the lily family, garlic is native to Central Asia and cousin to leeks, chives, onions and shallots.

Nearly every pantry is stocked with black pepper, and for good reason. Earthy and pungent, black pepper enhances the flavour of meat, gives a spicy bite to soups and stews and brings layers of additional flavour to vegetables.

Sweet and fragrant basil complements tomato-based dishes including pizza, pasta and marinara sauce. It also pairs well with vegetable, chicken, pork or seafood. Its sweet, minty, anise flavour is spectacular in chicken, fish, pasta, salads, vegetables and tomato dishes.

Turn up the heat in your kitchen with a dash of crushed red pepper. These vibrant red and yellow flakes deliver an incredibly zesty burst of spice and are the perfect companion to pizza, eggs, pasta sauce and more!
