Flavor Bombs for Cooking {Review + Giveaway}

by Leave a Comment


Don’t think we’re back in college or high school and pulling a prank on a buddy because Flavor Bombs are not a joke. 🙂 These little packages are definitely the BOMB. Hee hee.

This product is definitely up my alley since I enjoy cooking and more specifically, meals that nowadays do not take too much time. I love using herbs, especially fresh herbs since I can get them for super cheap at our local store but I am still learning how to store them and therefore they spoil before I can use them.



Flavor Bombs are a great concept. They can be used to start a dish or to finish a dish. Each “bomb” contains 2 ounces of an herb mixture that comes frozen. It is thawed before hand or thawed while cooking and any remaining herb mixture can be refrigerated for 3 to 5 days.

There are five different flavor bombs:

These are usually diluted with oil, broth, or water and each flavor bomb serves 4 or more. Take for example our weeknight grilled chicken. I love grilling simple chicken and then drizzling a vinaigrette for a flavor punch so without all the chopping and prep, I used the Rosemary Flavor Bomb to drizzle over the chicken and finished it off with a balsamic reduction.



Whoa. So good! It was easy and tasted fresh.

I used the Soffritto Flavor Bomb in black beans since we eat it a lot. It is a base to Latin American dishes so I loved this option. The Basil Flavor Bomb I used in an Italian pasta dish called Timbale. It added a nice herb kick to the dish and I was definitely pleased.

Want a chance to try these FIVE Flavor Bombs? One of you will win a nice little set to use in your kitchen. Watch the video and let me know what you think!
