View this email in your browser Thanksgiving 2025: Flavor Trends & Ingredients That Matter Explore global spice profiles, heritage grains, premium comfort sides, and baking staples defining this year’s modern holiday table. A Modern Alternative to Green Beans: Global Brussels Sprouts Chile-Roasted Brussels Sprouts A smoky-sweet twist using Ancho Chile Powder, Guajillo Chile, and Smoked Paprika. The heat caramelizes beautifully in the oven, adding depth without overpowering the vegetable’s natural sweetness. Umami Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Shiitakes A savory, glossy finish built on Nutritional Yeast, Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, and Black Sesame Seeds. It brings restaurant-level umami to a classic Thanksgiving side. Both versions feel fresh, modern, and incredibly versatile — perfect for anyone looking to bring chef-level creativity to the Thanksgiving table. Turkey Two Ways: Herb-Forward or Chile-Sweet Herb–Citrus Turkey with Shallot & Brown Butter Aromatics A refined roast built on Niblack Herbal Poultry Seasoning, citrus zest, shallots, toasted garlic, and brown-butter notes. It creates a savory, subtly sweet crust and a pan sauce with far more depth than a traditional herb turkey. Chile-Honey Glazed Turkey A modern roast built on guajillo, ancho, smoked paprika, and a touch of honey. The chiles bring warm, smoky depth while the honey caramelizes into a glossy, crisp skin. Bold, aromatic, and perfect for a centerpiece that feels fresh and unforgettable. Comfort Sides: Luxe Mac, Modern Potatoes Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese Ultra-creamy mac made with one of our cheese powders and melty fresh smoked gouda for a smooth, rich sauce that clings beautifully to cavatappi. Finish with fine black pepper or toasted garlic for a modern, crowd-pleasing comfort dish. Maple–Peppercorn Smashed Potatoes Crispy smashed potatoes finished with maple syrup or sugar, butcher’s coarse black pepper, and a touch of Aleppo chile. Stir in melty butter and a couple of favorite herbs, and you’ve got a sweet-savory twist that feels both familiar and new. Sophisticated Squash (or Sweet Potatoes): “Five-Spice Roasted” How It’s Made: Roast sliced, halved, or diced squash or sweet potatoes with oil, Chinese Five Spice, sea salt, and fine-ground black pepper until caramelized. Finish with a quick maple–soy glaze and return to the oven briefly to set. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions (or toasted pecans). Prefer mashed? Stir in the 5-Spice to taste! Flavor Profile: Warm, sweet, savory, and gently spiced — with notes of anise, cinnamon, and fennel that feel both festive and intriguing—a standout alternative to traditional roasted squash. These are just a few ideas — stop in, or reach out via social media/email for many more! (like Savory Farro & Herb Skillet Stuffing and Spiced Pumpkin Custard Pie!)

View this email in your browser A Taste of What You’re Creating We asked, you shared. Here’s what’s happening in kitchens powered by Niblack. Bright, Tangy, and Totally Summer We can’t take our eyes off this beautiful salad from @uprooted.vegan.cuisine, using our Ground Sumac Berry. It’s packed with fresh herbs, lentils, cucumbers, and tomatoes. A zesty sprinkle of Sumac Berry adds a citrusy flavor that brings everything together in the most refreshing way. Sumac is a lesser-known spice made from dried berries, with a tart flavor similar to lemon juice (no squeezing required!). It’s also rich in antioxidants and perfect for leveling up your salads, grain bowls, or roasted veggies. Ready to give your salad a citrusy edge? Sprinkle Some Sumac “Zing” Smoked, Sauced, and Seriously Good Eric, one of our in-store pros, shared these pork belly burnt ends, and we can’t stop thinking about them. Cubed, rubbed with Coffee Mojo Butt Rub, smoked, and sauced with Merle Maple BBQ Sauce, then returned to the smoker until caramelized perfection. Coffee Mojo is smoky, spicy, sweet, and made with locally roasted espresso from Union Place Coffee (our next-door neighbor!) Ask Eric for BBQ tips next time you’re in the store! Get Your BBQ Mojo On! Peach Tea, the Cold Brew Way This stunning jar of cold brew comes from @lizalou315 on Instagram, who used our Peach Black Tea for a refreshing summer sip. Steeped in filtered water in the fridge for 12–24 hours, it turns out smooth, naturally sweet, and never bitter. Just add tea and fruit to a container, cover with filtered water, chill overnight, then strain and enjoy. It keeps for up to 3 days and is perfect for porch weather, meal prep, or an afternoon reset. Did you know we carry a full line of loose-leaf teas? From fruity blends to bold black teas and calming herbals— an adventure in every sip. Chill with Summery Peach Tea Sweet Moments, Big Bakes There’s nothing sweeter than seeing tiny hands creating big things in the kitchen! One of our youngest customers was hard at work decorating cookies with Niblack Pearl Sugar, and the results were as joyful as they were delicious. Pearl sugar adds a beautiful crunch and sparkle to baked goods without melting in the oven. Try it on cinnamon rolls, cookies, waffles, or even scattered over muffins before baking. ⚪ Pearl sugar brings sweet texture, crunch, and decorative charm to every treat.

Off-Label Use (highly recommended)

Bob’s Potato Magic was clearly not designed for haddock. Don’t let that hold you back. Apply a good coating of this mellow herbal blend with butter.  We griddled it (yes, on a Blackstone). The memory of each bite says “Please, do this again.”

True Punishment No crimes were involved. The following simply relays a recent True experience to reward (punish?) all readers that have made it this far. Noticing a missed call from a close friend on my cell phone, I quickly returned the call. He said that it was accidental, a “butt dial.” “Oh, alright” I replied. “But while I’ve got you on the line, what’s new?” “Nothing pressing…”

Get Cozy with Fall Cuisine! Sweater weather is here, leaves dawdle to the ground with every passing gust,  and it’s time to warm up with some nicely spiced autumn beverages & breads. From mulled wine & cider to pumpkin loaves that you’ll love, keep it here for all your fall “warm-me-up” ideas & recipes – oh, and some trivia too! Bundle up, grab another coffee or tea and dive into that metaphorical pile of leaves with Niblack Foods! Get Your Guests Gobbling Down Your Thanksgiving Spread Like Never Before! The texture of turkey can be cause for a debate or two around the table – but almost everyone agrees that a good assortment of sides is what really makes Thanksgiving special. Fortify your stuffing (and day-after sandwiches) with our favorite Awesome Sausage, Apple, & Cranberry Stuffing recipe this year. Featuring the usual suspects, plus Golden Delicious apples, and the heavyweight poultry triumvirate of sage, rosemary, & thyme, we’ve found that this dish wins guests over via unanimous decision. Tie the spread together with our favorite Three Cranberry Relish recipe, which uses the same dried cranberries needed for the stuffing.  Skip the Soupermarket and Stay Non-GMO! With a shelf-life of two years, get your fill for this Thanksgiving and the next with our Savory Choice Chicken Broth Concentrate! Each foil pouch makes 1 cup of broth when mixed with water, and it works perfectly in your inevitable Day-After Turkey soup. It’s one of our most popular & versatile items. Find out why and snag a box! Soft, Spiced Breads Make Great Gifts for Neighbors & Friends We all know that fall is for pumpkins, but sometimes, it can get a bit bananas, too. Banana bread makes for a comforting breakfast or snack on a chilly day, and all you need is 3-4 ripe bananas, some flour, sugar, eggs, & some quality cinnamon (learn all about the varieties of cinnamon & cassia here). A hint of banana flavoring can really amp up the flavor, too. Call it our little secret… Mull it Over and be the Decider  A fireside favorite, mulled wine and apple cider go hand-in-hand with fall just like a warm cable-knit and a hayride do. Niblack’s Cider Mulled Mix works on its own as an herbal infusion tea, as well as in those more traditional autumnal potions. Simply heat one quart of apple juice or wine, add 1-2 tablespoons of Mulled Mix, simmer for 10-20 minutes, strain, and serve. (Mulled wine is a delightful treat for fall parties and the Thanksgiving table!) Click to Get a Head Start & Stock Up on Holiday Essentials! You Deserve a little Dessert… With another year of hard work slowly drawing to a close, we’re all in line (literally & figuratively – no cutting in front of your uncle!) for an extra slice of  a sugary pick-me-up or two. From classics like apple pie & the requisite pumpkin pie, to a fancy Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, we’ve got you covered with both rich, buttery whole fancy mammoth pecans or some simple pecan pieces. Don’t forget the pumpkin pie spice or the hard-to-find apple pie spice, either! From the Store: A Season of Warmth by Doug Niblack Suddenly fall is here. The air changes. It’s getting darker earlier and the leaves are giving their annual concert of colors. We feel the change. Throughout history and across every culture fall has arrived with a celebration of the harvest and rituals to prepare for the coming winter. Today we still share food with events around Thanksgiving and other seasonal holidays. Let us help inspire your events with a complete array of sweet and savory spices that are traditional with fall cooking and baking. Of our many senses smell imprints quicker and lasts longer than any other sense. Many of us still revisit the experience of visiting grandparents while visiting the smell of freshly baked apple pie along with the warmth of their hospitality. We feature our European-style Soft Vietnamese Cinnamon for a deeper, richer, incredibly intense cinnamon flavor. Add it pies or homemade ice cream for an exotic flair. Our custom poultry seasoning blend will give your turkey a unique twist this year. Don’t forget to re-stock your pantry with it, as freshest is best. As always, we’d like to wish  a happy Thanksgiving to you & yours, from Niblack Foods! Let us know all about your fall favorites (and more)! Send your photos and recipes to:  niblack.foods@niblackfoods.com. Niblack Foods Trivia: A Most Zesty Test! Famous for its evergreen-like flavor, berry-like appearance, and use in Scandinavian cooking, this ingredient has lent its name and flavor to a popular spirit as well. What is it? Scroll to the bottom for the answer! Trivia Answer: Juniper Berries Juniper berries are technically not a berry, but rather a the seed cone of a conifer. They’re used to flavor gin, and the name of the spirit is derived from the Dutch word for Juniper, Genever. Juniper berries are a fantastic addition to Northern European-style game dishes, as well as pork and sauerkraut. Copyright © 2022 Niblack Foods, All rights reserved.

March Into Spring with Fresh & Healthy Recipes The arrival of the vernal equinox on this past Sunday, the 20th, means that we’ve officially got more light than darkness for the next six months. That means more walks, picnics, sporting events and dining al fresco. Gear up for the sunnier, carefree spring & summer months with these 3 refreshing, healthy recipes to get you ready to enjoy the great outdoors! Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette An early spring vegetable, asparagus’ array of nutrients, slightly bitter and hearty flavor make it a favorite of vegetarians and steak aficionados alike. This recipe from Melissa D’Arabian features not only the pleasing mouthfeel and filling, well-cooked and softer textures of the roasted vegetable, but also accentuates its spring-like flavors with a tangy lemon vinaigrette. Jazz it up with some freshly ground black pepper, Celtic sea salt, and a little lemon oil for that extra oomph! Consider serving alongside a cast-iron skillet-cooked ribeye, or with a side of baked salmon – spring veggies don’t have to mean rabbit food! Creamy White Chicken Chili with Beans  Let’s be honest: it’s still a bit nippy out, and chili’s a great way to warm up. That said, you can lighten up a standard, beefy, spicy chili for a more mild stew that won’t weigh you down. Featuring great northern beans, cumin, green chilies, chicken thighs and a touch of cream cheese for some added creaminess, this recipe will satisfy you with a one-two punch of chicken’s juiciest cut and healthy but filling northern beans. Check out our “pre-blended” chili seasonings too! (Snow Country & Bull Moose) A bunch of cilantro is recommended to add a fresh, green, element, but you can substitute parsley, or even basil if you count yourself amongst the cilantro-averse. Lemon & Dill Chicken Protein-packed and refreshing, this springtime entrée is served alongside whole-wheat orzo (which can always be substituted white-flour orzo, if you prefer), and roasted broccoli. Dill, garlic, and just a splash of lemon juice commingle their flavors to produce an aromatic wonder of a sauce that is reduced and spooned over the crispy, flour-coated chicken breasts. This is an exceptionally low-fat, and weeknight-friendly standby. Keep all three in your repertoire this spring for flavorful, nourishing meals that won’t take all night to prepare! Soup Mixes & Soup Seasonings (Souper & Thai Souper Blends) are also great this time of year as we transition to warmer temps! Check out all of Niblack Foods’ soup mix offerings here. CLICK HERE for your Niblack Springtime Ingredients! From the Store: Spring Cleaning How Long Are Spices “Good”? by Doug It’s almost Spring, a favorite season when we are teased by the weather, still comfortable in our “caves” and looking forward to the crocuses. It’s a time to refresh, renew, plan projects, and think of new adventures. Meanwhile, your kitchen cabinet ingredients and spices can be inventoried. It’s a good time to look at item expiration dates and decide when to use or replace them. Spices never actually go bad like a quart of milk; they just fade away losing the potency and flavors for which they were purchased.  As a general guide, whole spices are good for three to four years while ground spices should be useful for two to three years. Many Niblack shoppers may have a frugal gene, so to avoid anxiety over this process it might be an opportunity for culinary experimentation.  Older spices can be used beneficially by increasing the quantity in a recipe to achieve flavoring goals.  Many spices that haven’t been used for a while can be blended and included in soups, pot roasts, and all sorts of crockpot/instant pot creations. In the end, spices have the greatest cost/benefit ratio in your cupboard when it comes to enhancing and delivering pleasure in dining. Niblack Foods Trivia: A Most Zesty Test! Noted for its unusually high vitamin A and protein content, this fruit is also known as “wolf berry”. Brightly red-orange, it’s also often made into a tea and is used for medicinal as well as culinary purposes. What fruit is it? Find out at the bottom of this email! In the meantime, check out our all-new blog! Ingredient of the Month: Grains of Paradise Closely related to cardamom, and native to West Africa, grains of paradise (Aframomum melegueta) is a pepper-like spice that has been historically used to impart an aromatic flavor to the wines and beers of the Mediterranean. Warm, but not harsh, this black pepper-like seed has cinnamon, ginger, & citrus notes in its finish that work especially well in salad dressings, as well as a more complex & interesting substitute for the aforementioned black pepper in any savory dish.

A Happy New Year to You from Niblack Foods! With a new year now in full swing, we’ve been working on some new things for you at Niblack Foods. We’re launching our all-new newsletter to help keep in touch with you, our customers. Scroll down and read through for seasonal content, trivia, features and ideas for your next delectable dish! There’s a little something for everyone, and we hope that you enjoy our monthly bulletin! Here’s to 2022! 3 Quick, Warm & Comforting Soup Ideas to Nurture You This Winter Whether you’re digging out from the latest storm or merely trying to stay warm & cozy until you can stretch those legs a bit in the spring, most of us love a tasty, nourishing soup this time of year. From thick & creamy broccoli cheddar, to a light and nutritious chicken noodle with its life-giving broth, soups can be your go-to pick-me-up this season. A Hearty Old Standby Borne of the abundance of onions and their availability to the working people of France in the nineteenth century, French Onion soup packs a meaty punch for when chicken soup just doesn’t cut it. Famously topped with a crouton made from toasted bread topped with melted Gruyère or Swiss, this soup is ideal for heartier appetites and is excellent for those coming in from a long day working out in the cold. Fortunately, Niblack Foods offers a French Onion Soup base, so that you don’t have to spend the time to make or worry about burning those caramelized onions. Just add water and some crusty cheese toast atop your bowl, and you’ll be all warmed up & ready to storm the Bastille! Or maybe just watch some Netflix. Whatever you’re into. Bone Broth Bases Nothing says “comfort” quite like chicken noodle soup. The variety of amino acids, minerals & vitamins found in the broth that forms the base of this most famous of folk concoctions has noted benefits for your digestive system, sleep quality and joint health. We offer both Oven-Roasted & Chicken Premier varieties of soup base to add hot water to for a quick and delicious soup broth. Regardless of whether you like carrots, celery or even noodles in your chicken soup, you can still reap the benefits of this nourishing, classic soup broth. For the more adventurous, we also offer a Thai Souper Seasoning loaded with aromatic Southeast Asian spices that makes for a great, sinus-clearing twist on chicken soup! Fill Up the Healthy Way with Beans A staple worldwide, beans provide an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals like potassium and magnesium. They’re also downright tasty and exist in seemingly endless variety. Start with our Soup Blend Vegetable Mix Deluxe, for a quick weeknight, no-fuss vegetable soup base – or, if you prefer, use our No-MSG Chicken Soup Base and jazz it up with some Souper Seasoning for an expertly-blended, ready-to-go mix. That blend is also ideal for an Italian-style bean soup, with a bit of garlic, parmesan and even a pinch of sage. Niblack Foods offers a variety of beans, from our famous 7 Bean & 13 Bean Soup Mixes to individual beans of all stripes, shapes and sizes! Find your soup supplies! Customer Buzz Follow Niblack Foods on Facebook & Instagram to share your creations with us! Niblack customer and Instagrammer @geographyphotosbybt took one of our recent blogs to heart and tried his hand at making fresh mozzarella at home – we’re very impressed with the result! Stretchy, milky, Neapolitan perfection with Niblack’s own vegetable rennet and cheesecloth! Pizza night when? We’ll bring the brews and breadsticks- just save us a slice (or three)! Blog: Beans, Beans: The Wonderfully Healthy Addition to Your Diet Rich in fiber, protein, folate, potassium, magnesium and with minuscule amounts of fat, cholesterol and sodium, beans are a veritable superfood. Their easy storability, relatively low cost, and satisfying taste further the cause of these humble legumes. But did you know… Read More… Niblack Foods Trivia: A Most Zesty Test! Known to many as the “king of herbs”, this fragrant seasoning’s name is derived from the Greek for “king” & “royal” for its association with royal perfumery. Which popular Mediterranean herb is it? Find out at the bottom of this newsletter – if you don’t guess it first! In the meantime, check out our all-new blog! From the Store by Bob Not long ago, Niblack Foods was visited by someone – perhaps best introduced as a 3rd generation cookie lady. Her name is Kelly and she calls Churchville home. She came bearing cookies that we sampled while she shopped for ingredients. The taste-test results were, in a word, stunning. Each cookie is the product of one of her own proprietary recipes, and her brand is Jack’s Sweet Shack. (Jack is the budding 4th generation baker, pictured below.) You might say she comes by it naturally. Her grandmother was well known and loved in her community for baking and giving away a gross of cookies weekly. As Kelly says, “Cookies bring smiles. Especially when you gift them. Everyone is struggling right now with all that is going on in the world. It’s great to brighten someone’s day in such a simple way. When we had the wind storm, we made and gifted 12 pans of our famous cinnamon buns. Asked who was cold, frustrated, and still had no power in Churchville and Chili. People messaged me their addresses and we went out delivering!” You can find your own cookies from Jack’s Sweet Shack in the corner of the store approaching the cash registers. (Well….. at least you could the last time I looked.) Ingredient of the Month: Hungarian Paprika The dried, ground, fruit of the Capsicum Anuum plant, paprika is associated strongly with Hungarian & Spanish cuisines, where it is used in goulash & chorizo. Prized for its vibrant red color and its vegetal flavor, verging on sweet or slightly spicy, paprika adds depth to savory, meat-based dishes and is a superlative addition to spice blends and rubs of all varieties. Paprika pairs nicely with tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, chicken, eggs, lamb & pork, in addition to the spices & herbs garlic, oregano, rosemary, turmeric, basil, cumin, ginger & black pepper. Chicken Paprikash is a superb & typical Hungarian staple to try with its creamy & comforting sauce infused with sweet, gently warming paprika. Pick up some real Hungarian paprika today! Trivia answer:  Basil “aromatic shrubby plant, early 15c., from Old French basile (15c., Modern French basilic), from Medieval Latin basilicum, from Greek basilikon (phyton) “royal (plant),” from basileus “king” (see Basil). So called, probably, because it was believed to have been used in making royal perfumes. In Latin, confused with basiliscus (see basilisk) because it was supposed to be an antidote to the basilisk’s venom.” Credit: the Online Etymology Dictionary Copyright © 2022, All rights reserved.
