White Bean Chicken Chili

One of the Vendors at the Kehe Summer Selling Show in Dallas, was The Spice Hunter Spices. This is a line of spices that we currently carry at both Harter House Supermarkets in Springfield, MO.
















The Spice Hunter has several Salt Free Blends
Blends take the guesswork out of seasoning. The Spice Hunter offers over 35 salt-free varieties of different herb and spice blends for the creative cook. All of their products, including the salt-free blends, are all natural and contain no MSG or preservatives. With the growing concern over fat and sodium, these blends are the easiest way to add flavor to low fat, low flavor foods without adding extra fat, calories or salt. Combining quality with convenience, The Spice Hunter also features delicious serving suggestions on every blend jar and offers no-fail recipes for every seasoning in the recipe section on their website; spicehunter,com.


On their website, read about Spice Antioxidants. While you hear a lot about the antioxidants found in dark chocolate and red wine, spices like ground cloves, oregano leaves, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and yellow mustard seed are the real antioxidant all stars


– delivering a higher concentration of antioxidants per 100g than dark chocolate, wine, even blueberries and whole grain cereal.
