Cajun spice originates in the South, mainly in Louisiana. Cajun people were known to use many ingredients in their cooking, such as garlic, bell peppers, onions, celery, and bay leaves.

The differences between Cajun and Creole seasoning are Creole seasoning has more oregano and basil than Cajun which makes sense because Creole also contains tomatoes whereas Cajun does not.

BEWARE: There are many commercial seasoning mixes on the market, often simply salt with a variety of spices. Some add monosodium sodium glutumate (MSG) as a flavor enhancer. Our spices and mixes never contain any MSG or salts or other enhancers, just pure, fresh herbs.
