The Seasoned Pioneers are a family-owned business based in Central Florida that has been making and distributing quality food products since the late 1800s. The company was founded by James and Ellen Arendale, and is now run by James' grandson, Timothy Arendale. They specialize in food based on the principles of good health and nutrition, with a focus on natural ingredients. This means they use no artificial colors or flavors, and all their products are vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO. When it comes to food, they believe in whole foods- fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes- without processed additives. Their products include spice blends, pickling liquids and pickling salt, vinegar, fruit juices and purees, powdered spices and baking basics. The spices that the company makes include a blend of whole spices that can be used for cooking whole foods like soups or stews, or for flavoring baked goods or rice dishes. Their pickling liquid is a recipe from their founder's wife Ellen Arendale called "Pickled Pineapple." The recipe uses apple cider vinegar as its primary ingredient for this sweet and sour pickle. They also have a product called "Pickled Beets," which is a traditional recipe that uses red beets for a delicious relish that is great on sandwiches or salads.
