Mrs. Dash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mrs. Dash is a brand name of seasoning marketed by the U.S.-based company Alberto-Culver. The best known varieties of Mrs. Dash are granulated mixtures of dried herbs and spices which are sold in small plastic shaker bottles.
The product line was originally developed by Carol Bernick, now Executive Chairman of the company. In the 1980's while a marketing exec at the firm, she was frustrated with the products available to flavor the nutritious meals she prepared at home for her family. She invented a salt-free blend of her own to fill the need for a convenient way to flavor the food without using salt. The original formula was developed with a variety of spice suppliers.
Mrs. Dash seasonings are unusual on the U.S. market because they are salt-free and may have been the first nationally marketed salt-free spice line.
Caution should be exercised, as all Mrs. Dash products contain cilantro.
The company produces seasoning blends in 13 flavors:

And it also produces six flavors of 10-minute marinades, which are liquid marinades sold in plastic bottles:
