About Kiss the Chef Spice

Kristi Gemperle is a wife, mother of four, and an advocate for informed eating. Growing up in the 1970s and 80s in California's Central Valley, she embraced the era of fast, easy cooking without much consideration for the ingredients in her food.

Fast forward to the 2000s, and she's become a conscious consumer, determined to know what goes into her body and the bodies of her loved ones. Yet, she faced a dilemma – she craved flavorful, healthy, and easy options, but even her go-to seasonings were packed with additives like sugar, gluten, and MSG. Driven by frustration, she took matters into her own hands. Drawing inspiration from her studies at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), she crafted a unique seasoning blend. Starting with the purity of Himalayan salt rich with essential trace minerals as her base , she carefully layered in other body-nurturing components like black and white pepper, cayenne, chipotle, garlic, onion, parsley, and turmeric.
