sazón
sazón is a term used in Latin American and Caribbean cooking that refers to a blend of spices and seasonings that enhance the flavor of dishes. It often includes ingredients like garlic, onion, cumin, and various herbs, tailored to regional tastes. Sazón can be found in both homemade blends and pre-packaged forms, making it a convenient option for adding depth to meals.
In addition to its culinary use, sazón also embodies the idea of flavor and seasoning in a broader cultural context. It represents the rich culinary traditions of countries such as Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic, where unique combinations of spices reflect local ingredients and cooking methods.
