Instagram LogoI’ve been getting this question a lot… ?    Why do the new jars look empty?     Quick answer: Due to manufacturing, and to avoid spills on the line.     The new jars are now being manufactured at a large spices facility in upstate New York. Specific amounts are ran through a machine to make sure there aren’t any spills on the line.     The good news is….  Since the jar is larger, we were able to give you extra product for the same price! So even though the jars look “empty”, they have 35% more than our previous small 4 fl oz jars. The net weight on the new jars is exactly what’s inside, no matter how it looks.   More questions… ?  So how come the small jars were full to the top?   Those were being filled by hand at a local commercial facility. We made sure to tap them down to make sure they were full to the top. (And yes, all sanitation precautions were in place. ☺️) However due to increase in sales, it was getting tough to keep up with orders and filling jars by hand.     Did the spice blends recipes change?   Nope! It’s the exact same recipe for the adobo, sazón and dry sofrito blend you know and love. Only the manufacturing process changed.     Who created the recipes for the spice blends?   I did ?, me Mayra the owner and founder of Healthy Rican - Cookbook & Latin Spices. It all started with me in my kitchen trying to recreate my favorites in a healthier way. Once I mastered the recipes for adobo and sazón, I was making them only for myself for 3 years before launching my business. The pandemic (and boredom) inspired me to share with others.     And I am so proud and grateful for how this brand was born, well received, and supported!     I knew in my gut we needed healthier options, and I’m so glad I followed my heart. ❤️     Thank you!! ?     P.S.
