Chili Pepper Republic's Key Lime Spice is a mild yet flavorful and unique mix of spices that will give your food the fresh taste of Key West, whether you're here on the island or as far away as Alaska!
You can tell how many people are taken with the magic of Key West by the sheer number of sauces and products that try to bottle the amazing taste of key limes for use in cooking. And I know why. As soon as you set foot on land at Key West International, you know you've been transported to an exciting and wonderful place. And given that we have some of the best restaurants around, the cuisine is inspiring to both visitors and locals alike.
Have you ever noticed that limes tend to play second fiddle to lemons? Well, not here in Key West! And not in my own kitchen, either. For some reason, I find the tang of lime more interesting than the admittedly versatile pucker of lemons. Whatever the reason, I tend to choose limes over lemons in so many things: Bloody Marys and many cocktails, fish, beer. Of course, it's amazing on papayas and the classic choice for guacamole. One of my favorite (non-alcoholic) drinks is the Arnold Palmer; for those who don't know, it's a half and half mix of lemonade and iced tea. However, it's even better when you substitute limeade for the lemon!
Anyway, you're going to find multiple uses for Chili Pepper Republic's Key Lime Spice in your kitchen. My favorites? I use it as a rub for pork shoulder or ribs before I put them in the smoker. It is out of this world!
