Why Our Epis Dry Blend Mild Belongs in Kitchen
If you grew up in a Haitian home, you know that Epis (pronounced eh-pees) is where every good meal begins. It’s the seasoning base that gives our food its soul — a mix of garlic, herbs, bell peppers, and spices blended together to season meats, beans, and vegetables. But as much as we love the fresh version, preparing it can take time, especially for busy families juggling work, school, and daily life.
That’s exactly why we created Epis Dry Blend Mild — the same deep, traditional Haitian flavor you know, now in a ready-to-use dry form that saves time without sacrificing authenticity.
The Purpose Behind Our Blend
Our goal was simple: make Haitian cooking easier and more accessible, especially for those who want to keep the flavor of home alive no matter where they are. Traditional Epis requires fresh ingredients, cleaning, chopping, and blending — plus refrigeration to keep it from spoiling. Our dry blend takes all those fresh flavors and transforms them into a shelf-stable version that’s just as rich and aromatic.
Made with garlic, bell pepper, parsley, thyme, and a hint of clove, Epis Dry Blend Mild delivers the same taste of home in a convenient, mess-free jar. You can use it to season meats, fish, beans, or rice — or mix it with oil to create a quick marinade in seconds.
For those who love the traditional flavor but prefer to skip the heat, the mild version gives you that familiar depth and aroma without the spice.
How to Use It
1. As a dry rub: Sprinkle it directly on chicken, fish, or pork before roasting or grilling.
2. For beans and rice: Add a teaspoon while cooking for instant Haitian flavor.
3. As a quick marinade: Combine two tablespoons of Epis Dry Blend Mild with three tablespoons of oil (olive or vegetable) and let it sit for 15–30 minutes.
4. For soups and stews: Add a spoonful while simmering to build flavor without blending a separate seasoning base.
It’s flexible, fast, and fits right into everyday cooking.
Saving Time and Money
Making traditional Epis from scratch can take up to an hour — from shopping and washing herbs to blending and storing. Fresh Epis also has a short shelf life, which means you often have to make new batches every few weeks.
Our Epis Dry Blend Mild is made to last. It stays fresh for months, cutting down your prep time and food waste. Instead of buying multiple herbs, peppers, and garlic, one jar gives you the same flavor for a fraction of the cost.
Each 8 oz jar retails for $12.99 and seasons dozens of meals — making it one of the most affordable ways to keep your cooking flavorful and consistent week after week. Whether you cook every day or only on weekends, it’s a pantry staple that earns its spot.
For the Haitian Cook on the Go
Life moves fast. Between work, kids, and family gatherings, it’s not always easy to cook from scratch. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up the taste of home. With Epis Dry Blend Mild, you can season dinner in minutes and still enjoy that unmistakable Haitian flavor that connects us to our roots.
Perfect for Haitian-American families, new cooks, and anyone who loves Caribbean food, it’s an easy way to honor tradition while keeping up with today’s pace.
Taste the Difference
We made this blend with care for the home cooks who keep our culture alive one plate at a time. Whether you’re cooking poul fri (fried chicken), diri kole (rice and beans), or a quick weekday meal, our Epis Dry Blend Mild brings the same warmth and comfort you’d expect from a home kitchen in Haiti.
