THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! My Grandmother always told me; If it doesn't come from the ground, Or the Ocean, Or Shot down from the sky - DON'T EAT IT! SADLY Those were the good old days, Now everything is Polluted! Try to eat the healthiest that you can. & Drink alot of filtered water!

I am living the land of gringo, aka Oregon; you are my HERO!!!!!

Thank you so much for these recepies.. I was told by my doctor I need to be on a no sodium diet.. She might as well told me to eat garbage and drop dead. I'm thinking, I'm PuertoRican Lady I need my adobo and Sazon seasoning!!... So I started searching for a way to have it with out all the salt and here I am.. Life is not over...Lol.. I just made my own adobo today and I was very pleased!!! I seasoned some chicken with it and I have to admit that the color and fragrance was even better than the store bought. Making changes for a healthier me!!!!

Thanks for the great recipe. I have been making arroz con pollo with the Goya Sazon. I love knowing the ratios of the spices so I can experiment making my own variations. As for those worried about MSG, there is nothing wrong with it. It is a sodium salt of glutamic acid (which is abundant in tomatoes). Used sparingly, it gives your food a meaty flavor. There is a lot of scare based on old and bad research. Please educate yourself. Always keep in mind that digestion takes place at a molecular level. Your body doesn't care if the molecule came from a plant, an animal or was manufactured in a chemical factory. You can be allergic to natural foods and artificial foods. Listen to your body and savor your food.

Your absolutely the best Spanish chef I have come across.. Including books. I've learned b4 many things you've done from Puerto Rican friends grandmas and mothers in my life Which is always the best teacher. I've worked as a professional chef since 19 yrs old. My childhood hero was Julia Child the French chef on pBS channel 13 in NYC n other chefs later on Food Network I grew up Around great cooks of many European backgrounds including French and Italian but authentic style not pizza parlor style or steep typed American way style which is poorly done Over load if fat sugar and SALT. I LOVE Sazon with Anchor n Coriander but the SAKT Kills ME.IM salt sensitive n I immediately my eyes hands feet swell n. Y face gets itchy I feel it's addictive too. I 4got how to Make Sazon now thank you Done change I add is bay leaf since I use it anyway and sometimes a little tuneric can't taste it but adds more color b suppose health benefits I make in small amounts so it's freshen try to use whole spices cumin seed coriander and all pepper corn onion garlic flakes for more freshness I hope as for any Jambon ham floor I used meat free ham or bacon chiplets sold in health Food stores there salty I'm careful and AKWAYS add me Salt last since many of our products salty .Abd thank u for you patato ball recipe The CORNSTARCH that's what I was missing!. Your ethnic cooking is one of my faces to cook n eat You reminded me things forgotten and things I needed to know

Thanks for the video and ingredients list. I've just mixed and stored a batch in my freezer for later use. No more Goya packets for me. Thanks again. :)

You are a life saver with this sazón recipe substitute! I stopped using sazón like 15 years ago because of the msg. You're right, who knows whether it's bad for you or not. I've just gone along with what everyone says and stayed away from it. Unfortunately it is definitely missed because there's something about those little packets that just adds that extra bit of flavor. There really is magic inside of them. I made my own today and I tweaked it a little bit. Instead of 1 tablespoon of annatto, I used 1/2 tablespoon of annatto and 1/2 tablespoon of turmeric. I'm trying it out today in your carné guisada recipe. So anyway, thank you sooo very much for this sazón alternative! I wish I'd found your channel years ago.

I developed an allergy to MSG in my 30s. Needless to say, I had to give up most processed foods, because it is in almost every thing these days. 😟 You have done me the greatest gift, as I can now enjoy making many Latino flavored dishes again, without sacrificing my beloved Sazon!!! Muchas gracias!!! 😚

love your videos i was born in P.R. but left when i was 4. and always wanted to learn how to cook from where i was born. thank you for these cooking classes.

thanks so much for showing how to make homemade sazon! several years ago I developed an allergy to onions that has gotten worse over time. I love onions but they don't love me. I never thought I could enjoy authentic Spanish cooking again. now I can follow your recipes & just leave out the onion ingredients. I also greatly appreciate that you list all your ingredients & their measurements. so many people on food recipe channels say they just eyeball their measurements instead. this is especially hard to follow if you knows nothing about cooking. thanks again!!!:)

Loving it! I'm Puerto Rican but I'm living over seas. To tell u the truth I'm missing my Puerto Rican food and seasonings. I went searching for recipes on KZfaq and I came across ur video. While watching some of ur videos just brought back so many memories of the food Ive grown up eating. I started following u on fb. Thnxs!!!

I noticed the sazon packets now added chili powder, turmeric and paprika. Although it’s great, it no longer has the authentic flavor from Puerto Rico. Whoever wants to add those as well is fine. For me, this is why recently I wasn’t liking the flavor of the chicken. It’s good don’t get me wrong but for me it goes away from the spices normally used in Puerto Rico even while adding a small amount of adobo. I can still taste the difference. Now it all makes sense why I felt something in the packets was off once I saw this video. Thank you. I’ll definitely make my own which I have been wanting to do. Thanks again. I’m definitely sharing this with friends! PS. The packets also contain salt which is something I’m using less of including adobo. So this recipe is great because I have the option of adding salt. Thanks again.

I just love your videos. Grew up in PR until around the age 8 but never learned how to cook real PR food. Now learning for myself how to cook all my favorite foods thru your videos. When I wanted PR food had to go to my mom or aunt's house in Jersery. lol Thank you for providing your talents.

I'm down to MAYBE my last 6 tablespoons of Sazon Tropical and live in Saudi Arabia! I'm getting desperate (until I go to the states or someone I know comes here) and started googling how to make my own. Came across this video and I'm going to try this! Thank you!!

I used this recipe to make beans, and it came out really well. I looked at your video for how to make beans for help, and I used the Sazon from your recipe. I do not think that I will ever use store-bought Sazon after using this recipe.

My hubby is from Puerto Rico and I’m always trying to learn new recipes! You’re channel has helped me so much! Never did I know how much PR’s love their sazon and adobo. Lol, and I get it! I, being, half Mexican knew about adobo but sazon adds this whole BAM to food. Lol love your channel and simply wanted to give my thanks for these recipes. God bless.

Grew up in the islands with lots of food cooked with Sazon, it always made everything taste way much better and gives really nice food coloring to dishes like soups and such. Glad i now know how to make it myself from your recipe as this will save me lots of money already having all the spices on hand. Thanks.

This is REALLY GOOD! I made some and used it for my grilled chicken and it was AWESOME!

Thank you for this recipe. i will be making this today.we have several family members in my family who have kidney disease and heart problems as well as diabetes and other complications. this is great because this is a great way to cook for them without having to cook with the store bought stuff. :)

Ida? Come back! I miss your guidance in my not-so-Puerto Rican Kitchen!

Great! I’ve never tired Puerto Rican food. But I’m going to start using your recipes.

My parent's are natives to Puerto Rico so the food I love! Now when I cook I always worry about the msg in the sazon I am soo glad you posted this video! Thank you Aida!

I made this and added 2 tsps of msg. Used it in my fried chicken and my fried chicken came out bomb. TFS sweetie. I will use this when I don't have the store bought stuff

Thanks for this recipe.I cannot get this in india and this looks like authentic substitute to start venturing into puerto rican cooking.

OMG!!!!! Thank you for this alternative .... You are Awsome !!!!!

Love this video and can't wait to make my own. I watched as you were putting your mix into it's jar. A tip I learned from having the same trouble with getting it thru the tube of the funnel... use a straw to "poke" it thru. Works like a charm for me! Alice

Thank you for sharing this. I stopped using Sazon because of the MSG and the food coloring. For a while my food did not taste the same. I started adding a couple of ingredients like cumin and garlic powder but I was always missing something. I cannot wait to try this recipe.

Thanks for this recipe, I'll be sure to try it! Also MSG is found naturally in foods like cheese & tomatoes. It used to be extracted from seaweed broth, but a fermentation process is now used. The studies that were done as well, didn't support that msg was harmful.

Hi, I just made Arroz con gandules and pernil with this recipe. It turned out DELICIOUS. Thank you.

Para mi próximo día de compra lo haré ...... Gracias por tus buenas ideas que Dios te bendiga

Thanks for this video I will be doing this I'm trying to cook more naturally for my children and me. I'm trying to stay away from as much artificial ingredients as possible. So thank you again for another awesome video!

I just subscribed to your channel. Your recipes are AWESOME! I just watched about 8 of your videos. I'm going to try this and your adobo recipes, pronto!

Thank you for this recipe. I have been concerned about the bad ingredients in the Sazon from the store. This will be a tasty, healthy alternative.

Girl!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! Going to make this right now!

I’m so glad I came upon your channel! I don’t want to use the artificial stuff!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

What a wonderful idea! i'm wary of the commercial stuff (in my mind it makes your tripas bright orange) ugh! won't go near..but this is so fantastic, you get the color and taste on anniato and none of the nasty stuff.

So happy to find this... thanks for posting this recipe.

This is awesome! Thank you! Definitely going to try this.

Make it yourself and have it forever. Save money too! Awww the good ol days...lol

Wow that's awesome. Thanks for sharing! Will be making my own natural sofrito and sazon thanks to u! ❤

Thanks for the video I've been trying to get away from msg. But I love my arroz con gandules! I will most definitely be making my own sazon from now on.

Love it! I have not used commercial sazon in over a year. I found a recipe for diy sazon on the internet and have not looked back. I do add some salt and pepper to my spice mix because regular sazon did have salt in it as well. I would advise others to warm the homemade sazon in the oil they will be using to cook so that the orange color seeps out to color the food. Thanks for sharing!

I picked up the knorr Sazon and I have to say I do love it so much better than the Goya

Thank you so much for this easy recipe. since the store bought saizon can be expensive it's nice to know I can make my own

I will start doing my own sazón using your recipe. Thanks.

Excellent and very helpful video! Thank you for sharing

Thank you! No more MSG . a healthier way to add flavor and color to Puerto Rican dishes.

Thank you for this recipe

I am a big user of Sazon Goya and will definitely try this out. Thanks for another great (and timely) video!

Thank you Ida.

You could probably add some turmeric to lighten the color, if you really want it to be a lighter color. It won't add a lot of flavor, but turmeric is supposed to be good for you and at least it's not msg.

Bedankt voor het delen 🙏🏿

Gracias! Lo que estaba buscando! Hace tiempo quería aprender para dejar de usar los sobres de Goya que tienen colorantes, preservativos y mucho sodio🙂.

Love all of your videos!

Thank you so much! Love that you gave some links where we can purchase annatto.

Wow amazing never knew you can make your own sazon. Thank you for loading this video can't wait to make my own sazon and i followed your recipe for beef cubes came out delicious and so tender.

I might try this because it doesn't have salt. There are some other versions I would love to try also.

I made it and I like it is have a nice flavor thank you god nless

Getting ingredients this week. Cant wait to try Thanks!!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing I will be making this.

Amazing im glad u make your own i stop use Sazon from store because of MSG AND SALT i like all natural anything i detest artificial colors and flavors they are bad for you thanks for clear concise instructions once Again

You’re awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, you think of everything! Thanks!

Awesome idea thanks so much for sharing this video

I looooovve love this!!! Thank you so much.

gr8 thank you so much you're incredible👍👍👍👍👍

I really appreciate you for this I love sazon but I wanted a healthier recipe😍

Thank you! I can't wait to try this recipe! ❤❤❤

And you do a how to on Goya Adobo too. This recipe video is coming in handy right now.

OMG thank you 😊 my bf always gets on me for using the Goya Sazon bc of the msg and the other stuff it has in it. Finally gonna make my own 😃

Im totally gonna make this. Thank you! I hate using the one with MSG.

Thank you

Awesome! Finally you addressed my concern lol. Your wonderful.

Thank you so much

OMG I been looking for this for a long time!!!!! Thank yoU!

Thanks for making this video. I wanted to find out what this spice was, so I could use it in a recipe on YT. I would not have bought it with msg and dyes in it. Your vid shows how to make it healthy. I have most of the spices already and the machine just like yours to grind it together. All I have to buy is the annatto. God Bless.

Fantastic!! Cuts out the unnecessary salt and preservatives without cutting flavor!! Ps...Ida is looking slimmer :)

Great video. I always date my food containers especially when I give it to others folks - how long will this fresh and usable? oh, I love you videos - they back a lot memories.

great channel. nice demo.

Ok, i see the red here. Thanks

Hi Ida it's great to know how to make this as I can't get it here. I'll probably find it in specialty stores though but natural is better. Trouble is, they don't sell achiote here.

could u make a video of the sazon Goya con azafran. I will love to learn how to make this kind also!

Loved this recipe! If I wanted to make the Sazon with black pepper do you think I would use 1 1/2 tspns as well?

Nice thanks for the recipe!

Who’s here after the ceo of Goya openly supported trump

Great Aida! I always wonder how to make Saxon at home I bought it once for arroz con gandules ,but I like my own sofrito better .maybe I'll try ur Saxon creo k su sabor es mejor no msg that's good thank you for sharing .Saludos

Wow very conveinent and a healthy option as well. By the way how about making a home made adobo since that also has msg in it and a lot of food colorings. Oh and @raimundo gonzalez sawatdee krab good to see a fellow latino in the land of smiles.

Great. Thanx. for sharing this is a great idea!!!!!!. Comino is not part of Puerto Rican cuisine. So I will not use it bc.. it is a taste we Puerto Ricans never acquired, . it is found in Cuban cuisine...if we are talking about the cuisine Islands of Spanish Caribbean

Just made this! Ran out of sazon for my stew pork for the pastels (all of the recipe videos that you've made). No more store bought or msg for me.

Thank you so much for this!

me encanta todos sus sasonadores me podria decir como ago el sasonador goya liquido para lechon al horno gracias saludos de mexico

Can you make canoas de platano maduro relleno de carne molida

am going to do it today thanks

Fantastic Thank You!!!

You're amazing!

I can't find alot of sazon products here in NC. This is very useful for me! What about sazon con Jamon? Spelling may be wrong lol

Can Anatto seeds be grounded if I cannot find-ground annatto?

Thank you!!!

I made this but the cumin seems to overpower the whole thing! I haven’t tried it yet so I don’t know if the cumin will overpower the dish I make. Thank you for the ingredient list!

Thank you so much for the recipe! I love the Goya products... Except for the fact that they put MSG in them. :(
