TruFlavor Seasonings FAQ
The Secret Is in the Flavor!
Cuban cuisine is a vibrant fusion of flavors shaped by centuries of cultural influences. It blends Indigenous Taíno, Spanish, African, and Caribbean traditions, creating bold, comforting dishes that are unlike any other. The richness comes from perfectly balanced spices, with savory and citrusy notes that make every bite unforgettable. Cuban food is a true celebration of history, culture, and tradition on a plate.
Want to bring authentic Cuban flavors to your kitchen?
TruFlavor Seasonings makes it easy with expertly crafted blends that let you recreate classic Cuban dishes in minutes—no complicated prep, just bold, delicious flavor!
Bold Without the Burn!
Traditional Cuban food isn’t typically spicy, but it’s packed with vibrant, bold flavors. Cuban cuisine gets its richness from a blend of cumin, oregano, onions, garlic, and fresh citrus juice, creating a savory, aromatic experience. When spicy peppers are used, they are added in small amounts to enhance the flavor rather than overpowering the dish.

Get the Perfect Texture!
Need to adjust your black bean broth? Here’s how to get the perfect consistency:
- To Thicken: Add your seasonings and sofrito, then simmer uncovered over medium heat, stirring frequently until it reduces to your desired consistency. For extra thickness, mix in an additional can of beans, diced potatoes, or butternut squash—they’ll absorb flavor while naturally thickening the broth.
- To Thin: Simply add a bit of water, stir, and let it blend in for a smooth, velvety texture.
For rich, hearty, and boldly flavored black beans, try them with TruFlavor’s Cuban Beans Seasoning!
More Than Just Black Beans!
While black beans are the most popular in Cuba, Cuban cuisine also features red and pink beans, garbanzo beans, navy (white) beans, lentils, and peas. Each brings its own unique texture and depth of flavor to traditional dishes.
For an authentic taste, try our Cuban Beans Seasoning—expertly crafted for the perfect balance of spices and aromatics that make Cuban beans so beloved.
Subtle Yet Distinct Flavors!
While both share a similar base, Mexican black beans tend to have more pronounced spicy heat and bolder, more assertive flavors. Cuban black beans, however, feature a subtly balanced profile with aromatic spices that create a more savory, comforting taste.
For an authentic Cuban experience, our Cuban Beans Seasoning enhances not just black beans, but also lentils, peas, and other beans—bringing the rich flavors of Cuba to your table!

Chili – The Hearty Dish
Chili refers to a savory, hearty dish made with meat, beans, and spices. It often includes chiles (the actual peppers), adding a rich flavor and a bit of heat to the dish.
Chile – The Pepper
Chile refers to the actual pepper itself, such as jalapeños, bell peppers, or other varieties. These peppers come in various shapes, sizes, and heat levels, and they are used to add spice and flavor to dishes.
Chili Powder vs. Chile Powder
- Chili Powder is a spice blend made from a mix of dried chiles and other spices, typically used to season chili dishes.
Chile Powder, on the other hand, is made solely from ground, dried chile peppers, offering a more straightforward and intense pepper flavor without additional spices.
