sazon
Sazon is a popular seasoning blend commonly used in Latin American and Caribbean cooking. It typically contains a mix of spices such as garlic powder, cumin, coriander, and annatto, which gives it a distinctive yellow color. Sazon enhances the flavor of various dishes, including rice, beans, meats, and soups.
This seasoning is often sold in small packets and can be found in grocery stores, especially in areas with a large Hispanic population. Many cooks appreciate sazon for its convenience, as it adds depth and richness to meals without the need for multiple individual spices.
