Stores don't carry flavorful spices anymore besides salt, pepper, and msg. All the other spices are bland and dried out. You can even bloom them but no flavor really comes out. They might carry some fresh herbs but that's about it.
I've become pretty fond of garlic chili sauce. Goes will with broccoli and cabbage.

Find an ethnic market or order them online

dried herbs and spices are usually MORE intense than fresh ones, unless they are old as fuck.

This.
Most supermarkets also have a bulk foods area with a spices section which tends to be fresher than the jarred shit, cheaper as well.
Also, use fresh herbs instead of dried. Better yet, grow your own.

I was going to try an ethnic market but I heard that their imported spices bypass the irradiation treatment. I'd rather not die of cholera or whatever is on those spices. I don't trust the spices ordered online to be fresh. Do you have a site that you recommend for them?

All the dried spices that I've tried, expensive and cheap, have been bland. These were brand new spices since I checked the best by date. The dried herbs mostly taste like powdery dirt. Dill is one of the worst ones. It tastes nothing like dill. Fresh dill doesn't even have much flavor, though. I'm not sure how dill pickles get that intense dill flavor. I've gone out to the garden and eaten the flowers, seeds, and leaves and they just taste like slightly chewy green stuff. That was kind of a tangent there but I've had much better success with extracts. They have a decent amount of flavor. I don't even bother with citrus rinds anymore, I just use the extracts since their so much more flavorful.

Stop buying your spices at the dollar store.

I've never been to a dollar store.

Anonymous poster I don't know how to tell you this, but there is very possibly something wrong with your tastebuds.

I ripped a long island mammoth out and ate it seeds, flowers, and all but it just tasted leafy. I guess I'm fucked.

Dill pickles use dill seed, dillweed

the less you eat naughty food the more your tastebuds recover and allow you to taste healthy food without it tasting like nothing
>>7620019
do you literally live under a rock?

I live in a major northeastern metropolis. Apparently, it's my taste buds with the issue and not the spices.

pretty much every supermarket out there carries variety of spices/seasonings suitable to the tastes of... anyone
if you disagree, your store is probably a 3rd grader's lemonade stand

I really hope you are trolling.
But anyways:
Yes, of course. It is as easy or hard, as it is to make unhealthy food with flavour. Now go back to your farm and count the planes flying over your head.

Best bulk section I've found is pic related.
Just eat peperoni pizza. Each Pizza contains five to TEN-thousand servings of vegtables...
