International Spice Peppercorn (Whole)- 16 Oz. Bag (Green Peppercorns)

One of the reviews sais this taste like hay. I thought maybe is a bit of an exaggeration . Dill weed normally keeps the fragrance and savor for years. If it is Dill weed. Where I come from half of the dishes are made using this spice. In little farms people gather it and hang it to dry in sheds . Bouquets , long stems and all for years. So I know how it should smell and taste. This is anything but dill weed . The jar came unsealed but Im sure this is not the reason for being so bad. Customers are attracted by the large quantity so they take a chance hoping for the best. Like I did. Returns are not accepted Hm ! I wonder why . Maybe because they know 90% of the customers would want to return it. My advice ? Don't be fooled .Even though is just $9.99 is not worth it because is gonna end up the trash anyway ! No wonder Ive never heard of this brand. Stick with what you know !

Smoked salt is supposed to smell like clean smoke: hickory, apple wood, whatever they've used.The list of ingredients for "International Spice" "Hickory Smoked Salt" is, and I'm not kidding: "Salt, Liquid Smoke," and it smells like it. The product Liquid Smoke smells like chemicals. Creosote, to be specific. That's not necessarily a slam against the product, which I use from time to time. But it is a slam against this allegedly "smoked salt."This salt has a foul chemical odor, and a clumping texture more suggestive of brown sugar. It's obvious the supplier has done little more than pour liquid smoke into salt. It's a nasty product, and I can't imagine circumstances where anyone would benefit from its use. If you don't mind the peculiar chemical odor, save your money and just buy liquid smoke and salt. I've used real smoked salt for decades, and never encountered anything as foul smelling or clumping as this product. I would never have ordered it in the first place, except real smoked salt has somehow disappeared from all the store shelves in my area. Even my favorite premium spice supplier does not carry it. Strange.But buying this product is not the solution. Do not buy it: it's nasty.

Fresh and cheap! I use SO MUCH dill weed each summer making potato salad anytime unexpected guests come over. I mean, the ingredients are always on hand, potatoes keep well, and it's cheap to fill up a crowd on my extra dilly Spud Special!Cut up 4-6 largish potatoes, place chunks in saucepan (if you have a mesh insert, use it), fill to JUST COVER with water, place 5 or 6 whole eggs on top, cover, bring to a boil, boil a couple minutes, turn off, and IGNORE for about 20 minutes. Don't open the lid.Combine 1/3c cider vinegar with 1 tbsp sugar, 2-3 tbsp dill weed, 1 tsp each salt and pepper, 1 tbsp dried celery flakes (OR 1/2 tsp celery seed), and a shallot minced VERY fine (or 1 tbsp dried shallot or onion). Stir well and set aside. This should sit for about a half hour to let the flavors extract into the vinegar. It makes a big difference.When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and roughly chop them.Drain the potatoes, put in a bowl, and put the eggs on top.To the vinegar mixture, add 2/3 c mayo. Whisk together and pour over the spuds n eggs.Toss to mix, adding more mayo (you can also add a dollop of sour cream) and/or mashing the potatoes a bit if you like it creamier, and sprinkle with fresh parsley if you feel fancy.

Great price for the quality. I usually bring my spices back with me when I travel, this one especially. Now that I've found this one I can save some space in the suitcase for other souvenirs. Highly recommended.

There was no horseradish spicy taste at all, if I have to someone up it was like chalk.

package was destroyed when I got it, half of the product was gone, and had spilled and leaked out, so what I had left was okay, except for the clumping from being exposed to moisture after the lid was undone during shipping. It had to be loose when placed in the shipping bag, because the bag was sealed and the lid was off. otherwise taste was okay.

This more closely resembles dried lawn clippings in aroma and appearance. It has very little resemblance to dill in its aroma and flavor.It has wide variation in size from fine to long, coarse pieces with an overall brownish to tan appearance of many of the pieces and a dull brownish green to others.The price was great, but it was ultimately a waste of money I won’t make again for a product with quality this poor if not a misrepresentation of what it is.

There is very little horseradish taste. Almost no bite at all. I believe this might be 95% corn starch. There is a zero return policy. My photo shows how to use this product.
