Certain tastes can bring back fond memories, and Trader Joe’s recognizes that there are few experiences that can rival the first spoonfuls of holiday gravy and stuffing. To preserve that joyful moment for meals served year-round, the friendly marketplace has bottled up an assortment of herbs and spices, mixing dehydrated onion, sea salt, black pepper, turmeric, dried celery seed, ground sage, dried thyme and parsley, and rosemary to create an easy-to-use seasoning called Everything But The Leftovers Seasoning Blend.
The company explains that including both baker’s and torula yeasts help create an unmistakable umami taste and yields a savory, vegan-friendly flavoring that can be used to spice up popcorn, eggs, or mashed potatoes.

Eating Well suggests sprinkling the blend onto vegetables, roasted meats, casserole, and deviled eggs. Before you know it, this spice may become part of your own must-have seasoning list.
