Cajun Seasoning

Cajun Seasoning is a bold spice blend originating from Louisiana cuisine, used to add heat, smokiness and savory depth to seafood, chicken, rice and stews. It typically combines paprika, cayenne, garlic, onion, oregano and other warm spices to create a punchy seasoning that defines many Creole and Cajun dishes. Nutritionally, commercial blends can be very high in sodium — 8.3g per 100g — so a little goes a long way; besides salt, the mix can contribute small amounts of fiber and fat-soluble vitamins from paprika and dried peppers. Making or choosing a low-salt version lets you enjoy the flavor while reducing added sodium. From a health perspective, this is primarily a flavoring rather than a calorie-dense ingredient; when used sparingly it can help increase the appeal of lean proteins and vegetables. Opting for reduced-sodium or salt-free formulations preserves the aromatic and antioxidant-rich spices without the excess salt.
