What’s in Season in Spring (and How to Season It Like a Pro)

March is that in-between season where winter is winding down and spring is just starting to show up on our plates. Here’s what to look for this month and exactly how to season it…

Early Spring Greens

Think: Arugula, spinach, baby kale

These greens are delicate, fresh, and slightly peppery so they don’t need much to make them stand out on your plate.

How to season them:

• Olive oil + lemon + a pinch of mineral-rich salt
• Light herb blends that enhance, not overpower

Try this:

• Tuscan Farmhouse Blend for a fresh, herb-forward finish
• Lemon Rosemary Garlic Salt for brightness + depth
• French Herb Sea Salt for an easy, elevated vinaigrette

Root Vegetables (Still Going Strong)

Think: Carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips

March is still prime time for roasting veggies and this is where seasonings can really shine.

How to season them:

• Toss with olive oil + salt + roast until caramelized
• Add garlic or smoky notes

Try this:

• Roasted Garlic Sea Salt for cozy, savory flavor
• Applewood Smoked Sea Salt for depth + richness
• Butcher’s Blend for a bold, slightly smoky finish

Cabbage + Cruciferous Veggies

Think: Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli

These types of veggies get crispy, golden edges when roasted. And you get those slightly charred, savory bites that add depth, texture, and that irresistible roasted finish…

How to season them:

• Roast hit with oil and salt
• Finish with acid (lemon or vinegar)

Try this:

• Hickory Smoked Sea Salt for a roasted, charred flavor
• Black Garlic Sea Salt for deep umami richness
• Habanero Sea Salt if you want to add a little heat

Mushrooms

Think: Earthy, rich, full of umami 

Mushrooms absorb flavor beautifully, making them perfect for robust flavor blends.

How to season them:

• Sauté with butter or oil
• Finish with a flavorful salt to enhance the richness

Try this:

• Black Truffle Sea Salt for gourmet finish
• Black Garlic Sea Salt for depth
• Rosemary Sea Salt for a classic pairing 

Bringing It All Together

Spring cooking is a lot like the weather, all about balancing fresh and hearty, light and comforting. When you pair seasonal ingredients with high-quality seasonings you can turn something simple into something memorable.  Because great cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be intentional.
