| November 3, 2017
Spices and Flavorings
Spices and flavorings, like salt or oil, are easy to bring home in your suitcase because they’re non-perishable. Focus on things that are unique to the area, like a high-quality fleur de sel from France, sweet paprika from Hungary, or za’atar from the Middle East. These pantry ingredients keep much longer than perishable items and will come in handy if you ever decide to make a dish from the region you just visited.
These spices are usually inexpensive and light, so they’re the perfect bulk gift if you have a few people to buy for.
