yup. i also sometimes use smoked paprika in my eggs along with tumeric, which is another that most people only know how to use for color but is actually quite fantastic for flavor. it pairs especially well with eggs.


also, if including fresh items, then id also list ginger, cilantro and basil. thsoe are staples...

derp forgot cilantro.

But yeah for sure, eggs. It's amazing in egg salad/potato salad/deviled eggs. Tumeric is great as well, makes the eggs bright yellow.
