Concord Foods Southern-Style Greens & Kale Seasoning Mix, 1 oz Pack of 6 — Smoky-Savory, No Artificial Additives

Concord Foods Southern-Style Greens & Kale Seasoning Mix is a ready-to-use smoky-savory spice blend made to add authentic Southern flavor to collards, kale, and other leafy vegetables in minutes.

Bring the slow-simmered, smoky character of Southern greens to your kitchen without pulling out multiple jars of spices. This one-ounce packet contains a prebalanced combination of brown sugar, smoked torula yeast flavor, Rochester sauce powder, hydrolyzed soy protein and select spices designed to dissolve into braised greens for a deep, layered taste. It’s formulated for cooking (not for raw snacking) and contains soy and barley. The mix is free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives and arrives as a convenient pack of six to keep on hand for weeknight meals, holiday sides, or any time you want richly seasoned leafy vegetables.

How do I use this seasoning to make collard greens or kale?

Use the mix as a straight addition while sautéing or simmering your greens — no measuring required. Add the packet during the wilting or simmer stage so the sweet, salty, and smoky notes meld with the leaves and any cooking liquid. It complements traditional aromatics like onion, garlic, and a splash of vinegar or stock.

• Add one packet to 1.5–2 pounds of greens while they are steaming or simmering.
• Sauté aromatics first; stir in the seasoning, then add greens and liquid.
• Simmer 20–45 minutes for deeper flavor or cook briefly for a fresher bite.

Will this mix work with other vegetables or recipes?

Yes — the blend’s smoky-sweet profile pairs well beyond collards and kale. Use it to season mustard greens, turnip greens, Swiss chard, roasted root vegetables, or to flavor beans, stews, and savory grain bowls. The seasoning can also be sprinkled into braises and one-pot dinners for a Southern-inspired background note.

• Stir into cooked beans or lentils for added depth.
• Mix with oil before roasting root vegetables for a caramelized finish.
• Fold into grain salads or warm bowls to lift milder ingredients.

What should I know about ingredients and allergens?

The formula uses a combination of savory and sweet components, including natural smoked torula yeast flavor and brown sugar, plus Rochester sauce powder and hydrolyzed soy protein for umami. It contains soy and barley (gluten), so it’s not suitable for those avoiding these allergens. The product is intended for cooked use and contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

• Contains soy and barley (gluten) — not gluten-free.
• Made for cooking; not formulated for raw consumption.

How much product do I get and how should I store it?

• Pack of six 1 oz packets — six meals or multiple uses.
• Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Who is this for: Home cooks who enjoy the deep, smoky notes of traditional Southern greens but want a faster, more reliable way to season leafy vegetables.
