What’s Really Inside Siete Taco Seasoning and Why It Matters

Siete’s taco seasoning stands out thanks to its clean ingredients: no preservatives, no artificial flavors. It’s made with chili powder, cumin, garlic and onion powders, salt, tomato powder, and ground dates.

But here’s the catch: even clean-label seasonings can pack in salt and sweeteners. Ground dates, while natural, behave like added sugar. Salt is already present, so doubling up can happen fast.

🟢 Gococo Tip: Treat it like a flavor tool, not a main ingredient. It works best in meals that are already rich in vegetables, whole grains, or plant-based proteins.

Already Contains Salt

This blend is already seasoned with salt, which is why you may not need to add any extra during cooking. That said, it's easy to forget and automatically reach for the salt shaker.

Add a splash of lime juice or a handful of fresh cilantro instead. These brighten flavor without raising sodium levels and help you get used to tasting real food, not just salt.

Ground Dates Act Like Sugar—So Be Mindful When Planning Your Meal

Even though ground dates come from whole fruit, they behave like a form of added sugar when used in a seasoning. 

They don’t turn your taco filling into dessert but if your entire meal is made of convenience items, the sugar content can add up.

Use this seasoning in meals that already have plenty of fiber,like veggie tacos, bean bowls, or lentil-stuffed sweet potatoes. That’s how you balance flavor with nourishment.

Use This Seasoning to Enhance Real Food

Siete taco seasoning is a great shortcut to flavor, but it shouldn’t be used to "rescue" an overly processed meal. Instead, think of it as a way to turn whole ingredients into something crave-worthy.

Better Pairings:

• Roasted cauliflower or mushrooms

• Black beans and brown rice bowls

• Whole grain tortillas and avocado

Avoid These Instead

• Frozen pre-seasoned taco kits
• White-flour taco shells with cheese
• Processed soy meat with sauces

Keep your base fresh. Think sautéed greens, roasted peppers, or beans, and then add Siete’s seasoning to bring it all together.
