Badia Sazón is a seasoning blend created by Badia Spices, inspired by the flavors commonly used in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. "Sazón" means "seasoning" in Spanish, and Badia Sazón typically combines a variety of spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of dishes.
The ingredients in Badia Sazón may vary slightly depending on the specific variety, but it usually includes a mix of spices such as garlic, cumin, coriander, annatto (which gives it a distinctive orange color), and sometimes oregano, pepper, and salt. Some versions may also include other flavor enhancers like MSG (monosodium glutamate).
Badia Sazón is used to season a wide range of dishes, including meats, poultry, seafood, rice, beans, soups, and stews. It’s particularly popular in recipes for traditional Latin dishes like arroz con pollo (chicken and rice), beans, and various types of stews, providing a rich, well-rounded flavor with minimal effort.
