What is Greek seasoning? 

Greek seasoning is a blend of various dried herbs and spices used in Mediterranean cuisines.

The blend typically includes Mediterranean oregano, garlic, onion, dill, parsley, marjoram and thyme. Depending on the blend, other spices such as basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper may be included.

Is Greek seasoning the same as Mediterranean?

While Greek seasoning and Mediterranean seasoning can be used interchangeably, they are not identical. Greek spice blends typically contain marjoram, which is not found in Mediterranean seasonings. As well, Mediterranean blends generally include cardamom and cloves which are not found in Greek blends.

Is this seasoning gluten free?

This homemade Greek dry seasoning recipe is gluten free as well as vegan, whole 30, paleo and keto-compliant! Plus, this mix contains no MSG! However, many store-bought blends do contain both gluten and MSG, so always be sure to check the label if you are purchasing blends from the grocery store.

How to store Greek seasoning?

You should store seasoning blends in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat. The kitchen pantry or a dark cabinet are great places to store dried spices.

How long will seasoning blend last?

While seasoning mixes never actually spoil, the dry spices will lose their flavor.

Properly stored, spice blends will last approximately 1-2 years, depending on how fresh the spices used are.

      Hi Katie,
      Great question! Unfortunately, I don’t follow a kosher diet, so I can’t answer your question with 100% certainty. However, I’d assume you would need to use dried spices certified as kosher, and then yes – this blend would be kosher. For more clarification and information I would look into kosher certified dried spices. Cheers!

    We really love this recipe and it compares in taste to Greek Seasoning Blends I have purchased in the past (Not the grocery store brands). I did leave out the Cinnamon and Nutmug. I’ll be making it in a large batch next time.

    I just made some homemade Greek meatballs Chey with most of the spices you’ve got going in this seasoning blend! Although I think I missed a couple. I LOVE making homemade seasonings from scratch. I keep a few different ones in my pantry. I’ll need to give your recipe a try!
