VEGAN SPICES
Conscious indulgence, full of flavour
More and more people are consciously paying attention to what lands on their plates. Whether it's a vegan diet or simply the desire for natural ingredients – enjoyment and quality are more in focus today than ever before. This is exactly where the world of spices begins.
Because real seasoning makes the difference: it makes vegetables shine, adds depth to bowls, curries, or grilled dishes, and ensures that conscious eating never tastes like deprivation.
First, the good news: Almost our entire range is vegan. Pure spices are naturally plant-based – and our spice blends are also made from high-quality raw materials, without animal "hiding places". We openly name the only three non-vegan exceptions: our S! Chicken Soup (with chicken fat), our S! Beef Soup (with beef extract), and our S! Sugo Cremoso (with Parmesan cheese). Everything else you can enjoy with a clear conscience.
At STAY SPICED!, high-quality raw materials, honest taste, and uncompromising quality are key. Our spices come without added flavorings, without added glutamates, without colorings, and without anti-caking agents.
Are all spices vegan?
Individual spices – pepper, paprika, turmeric & co. – are almost always purely plant-based. It only gets tricky with spice blends. These can contain hidden animal ingredients that you wouldn't expect at first glance:
- Milk and whey powder in creamy or "cheese" seasonings
- Animal fats as carriers for flavors
- Bacon or ham powder in savory blends
- Honey, gelatin or occasionally yeast extract
- Glutamate and flavorings of animal origin (often not clearly declared)
This is exactly where we come in: We deliberately avoid these ingredients. We derive our umami depth from natural sources such as soy, tomato, or yeast – not from added flavor enhancers.

Spices in vegan cuisine
Spices play a central role in vegan cuisine as they combine taste, variety and nutritional benefits.
Many spices contain bioactive plant compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids or essential oils that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial properties.
Turmeric, for example, is being intensively researched for its active ingredient curcumin, as are cumin, ginger, and cinnamon. In addition to their health benefits, spices play a key role in enhancing the natural flavor of plant-based ingredients and enhancing the taste of dishes – without the use of additives or excessive salt.
They make vegan cuisine not only aromatic but also functionally valuable.
Benefits of vegan cuisine
Vegan cuisine is based on purely plant-based foods and completely avoids animal products such as meat, milk, eggs or honey.
Numerous scientific studies show that a balanced vegan diet can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease , type 2 diabetes or certain types of cancer.
It is also more resource-efficient and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Plant-based foods such as legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits provide all the necessary macro- and micronutrients when combined appropriately. Modern vegan cuisine today stands for diversity, innovation, and a new definition of enjoyment – without ethical or ecological compromises.

Yes, spices aren't just flavor enhancers—they're also true powerhouses! Our ancestors have known this for centuries. Many spices, such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon, contain secondary plant compounds and can therefore have beneficial effects. Of course, they're no substitute for a balanced diet—but they make healthy cooking even more delicious, versatile, and often easier to digest. In short: seasoning makes it better!
