Island Ember™ brings savory citrus warmth to soups, seafood, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and comfort-food favorites — without garlic, onion, or added salt.

Savory Citrus Warmth · Bold Flavor. No Garlic. No Onion.

"I love food. But there is never anything for me to eat — even when we go out. Everything has garlic."

— WelFore customer, Farmers Market, Hampton VA

If that sounds like you — or someone you love — you already know what it feels like.

You scan every menu. You ask the server. You pick at what's left. You bring your own food to dinner parties. You cook a separate meal. You say "oh, I'm fine" when you're not.

Garlic and onion are in almost everything. Sauces. Marinades. Seasoning blends. Even the ones labelled "healthy."

Island Ember™ was built for the kitchen that garlic forgot.

Ten bold spices — White Pepper, Coriander, Sumac, Celery Seed, Paprika, Thyme, Lemon Peel, Ginger, Turmeric, and Clove — blended into a warm, savory, citrus-forward blend that builds real flavor from the first shake. No garlic. No onion. No compromise.

USE IT AS YOUR START. The first flavor you build with.

▶ Salmon & Fish — Rub onto fish before searing or baking. The Lemon Peel and Paprika do what salt used to do.

▶ Roasted Vegetables — Toss with olive oil and Ember before roasting. Every vegetable, every time.

▶ Chicken — Rub onto protein before searing or baking. No marinade needed.

▶ Grain Bowls — Stir into warm rice, quinoa, or farro while hot. Instant depth.

▶ Soups & Sauces — Add a teaspoon to your base. Ember opens up the flavor before anything else goes in.

▶ Eggs — Shake Ember over eggs before cooking — scrambled, fried, or baked.

10 ingredients. All of them real. None of them garlic or onion.

🌿 White Pepper — Warmth without heat. The gentle base note.

🌿 Sumac — Tart, lemony, deeply savory. The secret.

🌿 Celery Seed — Earthy depth. The backbone.

🌿 Paprika — Warm color and sweet smoke.

🌿 Thyme — Herbal, grounding, aromatic.

🌿 Lemon Peel — Brightness without sourness.

🌿 Ginger — Gentle warmth and bite.

🌿 Turmeric — Golden color, mild earthiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
