Chili Powder
In 1902 German born William Gebhardt created a blend of spices in Texas known as chili powder and it's been used in dishes ever since. Thankfully, cooks realized it had far more potential than just adding it to a big ole' pot of chili. We use chili powder in corn bread, quesadillas, tortilla chips, BBQ sauces, vinegars, marinades, rubs, soups, stews and yes...chili. Chili powder usually contains about 80 percent ground chilies with garlic powder, oregano, and ground cumin. Usually the deeper the color, the more ground chili.

Oregano
The origin of the name Oregano comes from ancient Greece. It is a compound from the Greek words oros (mountain) and ganos (joy), i.e. 'joy of the mountain', probably due to the fact that the oregano roots prohibit the washing of the mountain slopes by rain or just by its fantastic smell. In any case, those who have visited Greece, where oregano covers the hillsides and scents the summer air, would probably agree with this name.

Parsley Flakes
Parsley was cultivated as early as the third century BC. The Romans used Parsley as a garnish and flavoring. They put it on their tables and around their necks in the belief the leaves would absorb fumes. Medieval Europeans believed that one could kill an enemy by plucking a sprig while speaking the person’s name. It spread to the Americas in the 17th century, where it now grows plentifully. It is the most widely used culinary herb in the United States. Parsley is difficult to process because it takes twelve pounds of fresh Parsley to make one pound of dried. However, more people still use dried Parsley than fresh leaves as a garnish in soups, salads, meats, vegetables, and sauces.
