Okay, wow, now that's intriguing! I expected it to be some variety of an ordinary blended seasoning. I am going with the expressions of delight I have seen associated with this magic purpleness, and ordering promptly. I guess this means I have to clean out my coffee bean grinder, or better yet, buy another one?!  Thank you for sharing, and I promise a picture the first time I use it!
I have a dedicated spice grinder, it is not an expensive option and that way you don't contaminate either the coffee or the spices.

@ tekobo,The micro grow greens are regular seeds but they are a mix all in one packet. The seeds are beet, red cabbage,blue kale, tatsoi, mizuna, kohlirabi, red kale, radish, nasturtium, and mustard all in one packet. They grow close together and you should have greens in 7-10 days cut them off with scissors when they are between the first and second set of true leaves. No, they will not come back once cut, you have to start new or have 2 or three trays going at once and stagger the planting. :) 

Thanks @MacKenzie.  Worth a try.  The micro greens look lovely and fresh against the rest of the dish.  And really easy to eat at that size!

I just visited a long time friend in Florida. Ron and his wife Marrisa just bought a 115 acre ranch oppps sorry, they call them farms there. They get about 18 eggs a day from the chickens. It’s basically a horse ranch but they also have chickens. My friend Wayne and I just finished a road trip we have wanted to do for over 15 years. I drove about 6100 miles was a lot of fun. I got to cross off 5 things from my bucket list lol

I'd get a dedicated one for these, as they are quite pungent and will stain things purple! I went with a ceramic grinder, as they are supposedly harsh on metal ones. I went with these guys, as I buy salts from them all the time. I just mixed in some pepperberries in the grinder with the about half the salt.

Anybody know the shelf life of purple crack?

I packaged mine in Foodsaver bags in 4oz portions. My stash is coming up on a year old now and the last package that I opened still smelled fresh. They are dried, so as long as you keep oxygen away from them, they should last years.

Might have to give that grinder a try. I have a few different grinders and don't really like any of them.

I have been busy today, started to cure a 3.5 lb slab of pork belly.

Next on the list were chicken drumsticks and airfryed sous vide potato wedges. What a miserable day, cold and wet-

Plated with the airfryed SV potatoes, I wish I had gone another 2 mins. on the potato wedges.

Bruce,

That is great that you finally got to do something you have been thinking about for 15 years!!!!   I drive a lot and 6100 miles is a crazy long way.  Did you do it in the VW???

Yes Jon we did it in my VW beetle. We went to the Grand Canyon, Roswell, Four corners, and Meteor crater stayed with some friends in Las Cruces New Mexico and of course my friend in Florida, what a beautiful place he has. My friend from Hawaii and my friend in Florida are my best friends and I have known them since 1957. Our next trip will be the Yellow stone, Mount Rushmore, and Crazy Hourse monument and more.
