Kinder's Habanero Pineapple Seasoning, 6.25oz
Nice spice, too subtle…

The Kinder's Habanero Pineapple Seasoning recently joined my seasoning basket and I decided to give it an initial test on some smoked ribs, while a companion Kinder's seasoning got assigned the smoked pork sirloin.
I have a large seasoning basket of various woods, blends, spices and rubs - both homemade and store bought, and this one serves as a good complement. I do taste the peppery heat from the habanero quite well, and it definitely calls for a nice citrus or tropical fruit to help balance out and enhance that peppery flavor. I did dry brine my pork overnight, and initially had concerns that this might impart too much salt flavor, but it did not, which was a nice surprise for anyone wanting to control the salt/brine of the meat. The flavor mix was good; however the balance could definitely use the pineapple amped up here. I will certainly use this again, but will be prepared to augment with some fresh mango or pineapple of my own to increase that balance.
Flavor profile: 4.5/5
Flavor balance: 3.5/5
Price: 4.5/5
Versatility: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.
