30 Herbs and Spices Every Vegan Kitchen Needs

So many people think a vegan lifestyle means eating salads and bland steamed veggies all the time. On the contrary, I have learned that vegan foods are incredibly versatile. I love ethnic cuisine, and I have adapted hundreds of traditional recipes to come up with delicious, flavorful vegan meals and snacks. Having the right spices on hand does make it easier to create a variety of food that is bursting with flavor. Check out this list of herbs and spices to consider adding to your vegan kitchen.

Himalayan Pink Salt

Salt is a staple in any kitchen. Himalayan pink salt may be a better choice than table salt for a few reasons. For one, it contains small amounts of trace minerals not found in table salt. It also has a saltier flavor, which may cause you to use less of it than regular salt. And finally, table salt is usually heavily refined and mixed with anti-caking agents to prevent clumping. Himalayan salt is more natural and does not usually contain additives.
