Why We Chose It: Piquant Post delivers a variety of freshly ground spices through its monthly subscription box and online store.

Piquant Post offers an extensive selection of spices in its monthly subscription box, which you'll receive along with corresponding international-inspired recipes right to your doorstep.

Each month, subscribers will receive three to four 1-ounce spice blend packets from a specific region of the world, free of fillers, preservatives, and added sugar. Each box is preselected and cannot be customized. Expect to use each blend for at least four meals. Chef-developed recipes come with detailed shopping lists in addition to step-by-step cooking instructions, and additional recipes are also available online. You'll receive blends like Vietnamese Pho, Chaat Masala, Jamaican Jerk, Ras el Hanout, Furikake, Spanish Paella, and more.

If you fall in love with a spice, you can also purchase it from their online shop. Boxes ship around the 15th of each month via USPS. Month-to-month pricing is $12.99 per month, a six-month prepaid plan is $11.99 a month, and a 12-month plan brings the cost down to $10.99 per month.

All spices, even newly released ones, will be available in the online shop after subscription boxes are delivered.

Why We Chose It: Raw Spice Bar offers a selection of internationally sourced organic spices.

Raw Spice Bar prides itself on its transparent sourcing, offering organic spices from co-ops and farms worldwide.
