With fall in full swing, be sure you are stocked up on spices for holiday baking. From streusel to cakes and pies, the ideas are endless with these delicious spices from Simply Organic and Frontier Co-op. Top quality organic spices are going to give you the best flavor in your finished baked goods, so stock up on these warming spices to use for baking this season:

• Allspice. Having a flavor reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, many people believe allspice is a mixture of these spices, but it is actually the dried fruit of a small evergreen plant. Use in cakes, cookies and pies.
• Cinnamon. One of the oldest and most widely used spices, cinnamon has a variety of uses and is a staple in most household spice racks.
• Cloves. One of the earliest spices to be traded, cloves are most often found in gingerbread, spice and fruit cakes, raisin or nut bars. Cloves add a kick to pumpkin pie, a traditional holiday favorite.
• Nutmeg. Historically a prized spice, nutmegs are the dried seeds of the nutmeg tree. Try freshly grating a whole nutmeg for even more flavor.
• Vanilla. Vanilla has a rich flavor and even richer history – and is a must-have for your holiday baking. Simply Organic and Frontier Co-op offer pure vanilla extract and non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring, which means that the flavor comes from real vanilla beans. Many “vanilla” products include natural and artificial flavors, colors and added sugar.
• Ginger. The warm, spicy-sweet flavor and pungent aroma are unmistakable. Ginger is a universally popular flavoring that lends its name to three familiar foods – gingerbread, gingersnaps and ginger ale.

But your best spices for holiday baking aren’t only about great flavor, they’re also about giving back. With Simply Organic, you’re never far from real, organic food that brings people together. And we believe in a world where this is true for everyone – so we support organizations fighting food insecurity and increasing access to organic food. In 2021, we gave $150,000 in grants to five organizations across the United States.
