What’s in Beau Monde?
Spice Island lists ingredients salt, dextrose (sugar), onion, celery seed and silicon dioxide. I use a simple blend of staple spices.
- Salt – A simple table salt works well.
- White Granulated Sugar – The sweetness of the added sugar in this blend is what makes it so unique.
- Onion Powder – The onion powder and celery combine for a vibrant combination here!
- Celery Seed – Substitute 2x celery powder or eliminate salt and substitute celery salt 1:1 with celery seed, if needed.
Note: Most recipes for Beau Monde seasoning blends and substitutes include nutmeg and cinnamon. The original Spice Islands blend does not have hints of nutmeg or cinnamon and they are not included in the ingredient list. I tested my beau monde seasoning recipe side by side with the original to perfect the flavor profile.
