Anyone purchase their spices online? I'm rural so my selection is very limited. But I'm wanting to get things like actual cumin seeds, nutmeg seeds, etc. My quick & dirty search suggests that Penzey is pretty good.

Penzeys rocks!

We have one right down the street, love them.

Never ordered them online tho, but I'd think it would be a good choice.

Cool, thx! Order placed. I really liked the choices. You want peppercorns? Black, white, green, pink, or a mixed blend? Black, you say? Sarawak, Tellicherry, Malabar, or a Special Extra Bold?

The only thing I did not see were the Grains of Paradise that Alton mentioned on one of his shows. I was hoping to try that.

Penzeys is great. Until I dropped my roommate's $40 jar of sea salt on the floor and broke it....

"i get extra bold"

I went with the Tellicherry (while trying to mentally shut-out the image of a virgin tellitubby). But I will definitely try that on my next order. I like strong pepper flavors.

try also whole spice out of petaluma...they have a shop in the Oxbow Public Market where I work. I use their spices exclusively in my kitchen at the restaurant (Oxbow wine merchants and wine bar) they are the freshest custom ground spices ive ever used...small operation, lots of middle eastern spice blends and unique items

I order my ground Chipotle online from Penzey's. I have found nothing even half as good!

My new favorite pepper is the guajillo chile. They come whole & dried from Penzey's. But you just pull the stem/sac and dump out as many of the seeds as you can. Then I toast them for about 10-15 sec (just until you can smell them). Then they go into the spice grinder and get pulverized to dust.

If you like chipotles, check these out. Heat-wise, they're about the same. But they've got a nice smokey goodness.
