K’s Kreole seasoning with a Twist:
We designed K’s Kreole to have higher quality ingredients and a lower salt content while still packing the Louisiana flavor that everybody loves. K's Kreole is great for seasoning any food, from appetizers to main dishes. Add some spice to your life!!
“K’s Kreole is a delectable seasoning blend that was formulated to nurture and satisfy your senses. The idea was thought of due to me using Himalayan Pink Salt to cook with. I figured, why not customize a creole blend by adding Himalayan Pink Salt instead of white table salt! Sweet Onion Sugar is also added for a light hint of sweetness.”
-Words from the Founder Kirrston Mclendon
We use Himalayan Pink Salt that comes from a certified authentic, Kosher certified and Organic compliant company that provides one of the highest quality Ancient Ocean Himalayan Pink Salt. Their salt is all natural, allergen and cruelty-free.
