Frequently Asked Questions About Island Ember™

Is Ember really garlic-free and onion-free?

Yes. Every single ingredient is listed above. There is no garlic, no garlic powder, no onion, no onion powder, no shallot, no leek, no chive, no scallion anywhere in this blend. We understand how serious this is for you.

Is it good for people with IBS or digestive sensitivities?

Ember contains no garlic or onion, which are two of the highest-FODMAP ingredients in most seasoning blends. It does contain Celery Seed, which is a low-FODMAP ingredient at typical serving sizes. If you follow a strict low-FODMAP protocol, check the ingredient list against your dietitian's guidance.

How much do I use?

Start with ½ teaspoon per serving and adjust to taste. Ember is a flavor-builder, not a salt replacement — you can be generous with it. It does not contain salt, so there's no risk of over-salting.

What does it taste like?

Warm, savory, citrusy, and bright. The Sumac and Lemon Peel give it a gentle tang. The White Pepper and Coriander give it body. The Thyme and Ginger round it off. It tastes like your food is fully seasoned — which it is.

Can I cook with it or only use it as a finishing spice?

Both. Add it early to build flavor into the base of a dish, or use it at the end to brighten a finished plate. It holds up to heat well.

How long does it last?

Best within 18 months of the packed date shown on the bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store near the stove.
