“It’s been remarkable to look at our legacy over the past 75 years, spanning from fresh garlic to the innovation of our convenient minced and peeled varieties we have now,” said Chris Kiser, CEO of Spice World. “Consumers have told us they love the way Spice World helps them add bold and convenient flavors to their meals. And we’re thrilled to have expanded into onions, shallots, ginger, and Seasonings Blends to offer our consumers even more options for easy, flavorful meals.”
Spice World Garlic & Ginger Fusion Seasoning Blend is available in an 8-ounce jar and features a delicious blend of garlic and ginger that can be added to soups, dressings, marinades, and salsas or used to add extra zing to top pizza, pasta, steaks, chicken wings, or other proteins. The Garlic & Ginger Fusion is the newest addition to the Spice World Seasoning Blends line that also includes Chili Onion Crunch, Italian Herb & Garlic, and a traditional Italian Pesto.
Spice World Fresh Peeled Ginger comes in a 7-ounce resealable pouch and features pre-peeled ginger that saves busy cooks time in the kitchen by removing the outer skin in advance. It’s the perfect addition to Caribbean, Indian, and Asian cuisine for an undeniable zing and warm flavor. Fresh Peeled Ginger joins alongside the other convenient jarred and squeezable minced ginger options from Spice World.
Spice World Fresh Diced Garlic is available in a 5-ounce resealable pouch and is perfect for adding fresh and zesty flavor to a wide variety of dishes, including marinades, soups, dressings and much more!

Spice World Ready-to-Use Chopped Easy Onion is another product in their flavorful portfolio that is continuing to grow. Spice World Chopped Easy Onion offers consumers a variety of ways to enjoy the great flavor of onions without the peeling, chopping, and, of course, tears. Chopped Easy Onion will be another featured product at this year’s show.
“Spice World products work in a wide variety of meals, especially Asian, Caribbean, and Latin cuisines that combine garlic and ginger for bolder flavor,” continued Kiser. “Our garlic, onion, and ginger options help provide a great variety of meal options for consumers.”

Spice World Garlic & Onion Grits with Shrimp and Chives
Spice World Candied Garlic & Ginger Yams
| 4 | bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs |
| 1 cup | buttermilk |
| 1 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 1 tsp | paprika |
| 2 tsp | Spice World Ready-to-Use Minced Garlic |
| 1 tsp | Spice World Squeezable Minced Ginger |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| ½ tsp | black pepper |
| ½ tsp | cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat) |
| Vegetable oil for frying |
In a large bowl, add in the chicken thighs and pour buttermilk overtop—ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
In a separate bowl, mix together the dry spices. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge, and coat each piece in the flour mixture. Double dredge for extra crunch!
Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil reaches 350°F or 175°C, carefully place the chicken pieces in skillet. Fry them for about 7 to 10 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Internal temp should be 165°F or 74°C. Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain them on a plate lined with a paper towel.
| 2 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 2 Tbsp | sugar |
| 1 Tbsp | baking powder |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| 2 | large eggs |
| 1 ¾ cups | milk |
| ½ cup | melted butter |
| 1 tsp | vanilla extract |
Begin preheating a waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter and vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and still until combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray and pour appropriate amount of batter onto a preheated iron, cooking until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
| 1 Tbsp | Spice World Chili Onion Crunch (gather the crispy chili onion crisps and not just the oil) |
| 1 cup | maple syrup |
Blend ingredients together.
To serve: Place one chicken thigh onto the center of one waffle and drizzle with syrup fusion.
| 1 cup | quick-cooking grits |
| 1 lb | shrimp, deveined (18/20 shrimp per pound) |
| 4 cups | water or you can use chicken broth for added flavor |
| ½ cup | whole milk |
| 1 Tbsp | butter |
| 2 Tbsp | Spice World Chopped Easy Onion |
| 3 tsp | Spice World Ready-to-Use Minced Garlic |
| 2 | chives, chopped |
| ½ cup | grated sharp cheddar cheese |
| Salt and pepper to taste | |
| 2 Tbsp | olive oil |
| Chopped fresh parsley (optional) |
Prepare the grits in a medium saucepan by bringing water (or chicken broth) to a boil and gradually whisking in the grits to avoid lumps. Reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan.
Cook the grits according to package, usually 5-10 minutes for quick-cooking grits, stirring occasionally. Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and milk, then mix in the cheese until melted and well combined.
While grits are cooking, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp to sear. Add in the Spice World Chopped Easy Onion and cook until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes). Add in the Spice World Ready-to-Use Minced Garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic burn; take off the heat if necessary.
Fold the shrimp into the grits and season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, top with chopped chives.
Warm bread in a pan over medium heat just enough to warm the bread so it is malleable. Spread the Spice World Ready-to-Use Italian Pesto onto the flatbread and add some shaved Parmesan to the top.
| ½ lb | ground beef |
| ¼ cup | breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned) |
| ¼ cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
| 1 | large egg |
| 1 Tbsp | Spice World Chopped Easy Onion |
| 2 tsp | Spice World Ready-to-Use Minced Garlic |
| 1 Tbsp | fresh parsley, chopped |
| ¼ tsp | dried oregano |
| ¼ tsp | dried basil |
| ¼ tsp | salt |
| ¼ tsp | black pepper |
Combine all ingredients above in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs touch.
Form meatballs the size of golf balls. Bake at 350°F until they are no longer raw in the middle—approximately 7 to 15 minutes depending on your oven.
For the garlic aioli, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise with 1 tsp Spice World Ready-to-Use Minced Garlic and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice.
| 2 cups | dried pasta (rotini, penne or bowtie) |
| 1 cup | cherry tomatoes, halved |
| ½ cup | cucumber, diced |
| ¼ cup | fresh basil leaves, chopped |
| ¼ cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
| 2 cups | mayonnaise |
| 2 cups | Spice World Italian Herb & Garlic Seasoning Blend |
| ¼ tsp | salt |
| ¼ tsp | black pepper |
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add in the pasta, and cook according to instructions or until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool down and stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, mix tomatoes, cucumber, and basil together in a large bowl. Then, add in the cooled pasta and some grated Parmesan cheese. Finally, pour dressing over the pasta and veggies and mix well.
| 1 cup | Spice World Squeezable Minced Ginger |
| 2 | yams, peeled and cut into small dice |
| 1 cup | grapeseed oil |
| Salt and pepper to taste |
| 1 bulb | Spice World Fresh Garlic, approximately 5 to 8 cloves |
| 1 cup | granulated sugar |
| ½ cup | water |
| ½ cup | light corn syrup (or honey as alternative) |
| ¼ tsp | salt |
Prepare your Spice World Fresh Garlic by peeling the cloves from the bulb and keeping them whole (if cloves are large, cut them in half for more to candy).
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup (or honey), and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add the Spice World Fresh Garlic cloves to the saucepan with the syrup and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let the garlic simmer in the syrup for about 30 to 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the garlic cloves are evenly coated and not sticking to the pan.
Once cloves are coated, remove the pan from the heat source and let it cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Then use tongs to remove cloves from candy syrup and thinly slice each clove.
In a medium saucepan, bring the heat to medium and add in oil. Slowly add the peeled yams, being careful not to add them in too quickly or splash the hot oil. Cook the yams until seared on all sides and fork tender, then add in the ginger. Sprinkle yams with sliced candied garlic.
