Great post. I used your sazรณn and adobo yesterday to make taco meat with impossible beef, which is already kind of salty, so Iโ€™m glad I grabbed your salt free stuff. Iโ€™m also glad I bought your versions right when you emailed us because they were gone so fast! Hope that encouraged you that you and mami have some loyal followers! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Thanks for the information about Discover Puerto Rico! I don't follow their account so I didn't know they were promoting this type of stuff. I follow @puertoricogram and for anyone wanting to know more about the electricity and just keep up to date there is an independent journalist @biancagraulau definitely love that it isn't about competition! We can support all of you <3

Love the sazon! I added it to an egg substitute because those things are blaaand. Haven't tried adobo yet. We usually rub that on boneless skinless chicken breasts--I can't have the salt anymore so was thrilled to see that email come through about the sazon and adobo w/o salt!

Looking forward to the book! Soon!!!

i think especially with food, there is no better/worse it's just what you like. and even that may vary from day to day. a person - even one you view to be an authority on a topic - who doesn't know you, cannot tell you with any accuracy what will work best for you. i definitely have multiples of certain spices because i like A for certain things and B for other things. there is almost never one "best" product or one "true" recipe.

[pause for italians to get mad]

but also, there is a fine line between seeking advice and authenticity, and this subconscious idea that one member of a [n anything other than white] group is by default a spokesperson and all knowing historian and arbiter for said group. sometimes it really is as simple as "i trust your opinion and i can't decide, which do you think i should get" and sometimes there's a whole lot more subtext that we don't consider.
