Spicley organics vs McCormick

[Jherm21]

The title is kind of weird but I’m on the hunt to fill up my pantry with some dried spices and seasonings and wanted to see what everyone else used. I’m looking for a good taco seasoning ASAP in particular. Are either of these go to’s for people? I also read somewhere vanilla extract from McCormick was gluten free is this valid? I need that too. Thanks online celiac family!

The Spicley I got, was good, it is unsalted so their is that, I add a bit more cumin when I use it but I grew up in a Mexican family. Vanilla I use LorrAnn, you can generally find it in the specialty cake section of Walmart not with the bakery items.

I love the Spicely Organic Taco Seasoning. I just used some last night. The McCormick is suppose to be gluten-free but I always seem to have a reaction to something in the Taco and Chili mix. I don't know if it's from gluten but there is something in it. They also have a Fajita mix too but I always get one or the other. They taste pretty similar. The Italian and Sausage mixes are pretty good too.

Ennis do you get all your spices mainly from spicley organics? I seen they were certified. Had any problems with them before? 

Thanks pdm1981 I’m going to order the taco seasoning. Now I’m excited!

Gluten no...had one batch of cinnamon with a bad grind that was sand texture...I buy 1lb a month and it only happened once in over 6 years. Had a batch of szechuan pepper corns that was mostly twigs last year.....Just know most of their seasonings lack salt, and are chef style so they are not overly powerful but subtle and to compliment dishes not smother them.
