For a bit of sugar and spice with a whole lot of flavor, head to OkieSpice & Trade Co. in Sand Springs. This shop offers everything you need to turn your next meal up a notch or two, featuring a variety of spices, mixes, locally-produced cheeses/meats and much more. Opened in 2017 to celebrate food and all its possibilities, OkieSpice sells Made in Oklahoma goods that will bring extra zest to your kitchen.

Take a trip around the world with the large assortment of spices rare to typical grocery stores like star anise or cardamom seed powder, or pick up a Jamaican jerk seasoning to spice up summer grilling sessions. For those invested in baking projects, add gourmet ingredients like whole nutmeg or smoked cinnamon to enhance your creation. If heat is what you're after, let OkieSpice's large variety of chile pepper flakes, powders and whole dried pods satisfy the pepperhead in you.

Rubs, marinades, sauces, jellies and pickled items are also in abundance to excite your taste buds. Food items like infused olive oils and gourmet balsamic vinegars, along with dip mixes and drink mixers will make your home culinary experiences more than just ordinary. OkieSpice is home to The Cheese Factory, where blended Artisan cheeses are created on site and available to purchase as well.

OkieSpice also carries specialty cooking utensils and grilling accessories to up your chef skills in the kitchen or outdoor patio. While you're there, shop for novelty gifts for guys & gals from Oklahoma vendors and makers. Customers will also enjoy browsing through Oklahoma T-shirts, coffee mugs, kitschy kitchen towels and humorous cards. Stop by, sample something tasty and expect to leave OkieSpice with something you didn't even know you needed.
