🥯 The Ultimate Guide to No Bagel No Bagel: Everything Bagel Flavour Without the Bread

1. Introduction
Say goodbye to the bagel—but keep all the best bits. No Bagel No Bagel is Spicecraft’s genius take on the cult classic everything bagel seasoning—without the carbs, crumbs, or commitment to actual bread. It’s crunchy, savoury, and wildly addictive, with toasted sesame, garlic, onion, poppy seeds, and flaky sea salt bringing big deli energy to everything you cook.

Made in New Zealand and perfect for keto, gluten-free, or low-carb foodies, it’s your shortcut to bold flavour with zero fuss. Because let’s face it—why should bagels have all the fun?

2. Origin & History
The OG everything bagel started life in New York’s delis in the 1980s—a happy accident where bakers tossed leftover seeds, garlic, and salt onto dough and called it a day. The result? Iconic. A crusty, crunchy, savoury explosion that became a breakfast favourite worldwide.

Spicecraft’s No Bagel No Bagel gives that classic combo a modern Kiwi makeover. We kept the toasted sesame, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion—but ditched the bread. It’s now a pantry staple across New Zealand, loved by low-carb cooks, keto eaters, and anyone who likes their avo toast to taste like it came from a fancy café.

3. Ingredients & Flavour Profile
What’s inside? Only the good stuff—because we don’t mess around with bland blends.

✨ Toasted sesame & poppy seeds – nutty crunch
🧄 Dried garlic & onion – rich, savoury depth
🧂 Flaky sea salt – clean finish, no bitterness

The flavour? Savoury, aromatic, and just a little earthy. It’s bolder than plain sesame, more refined than garlic salt, and waaay better than supermarket knockoffs. You’ll get beautiful texture in every bite—no powdery filler nonsense here.

Whether you’re keto, gluten-free, or just here for a good time, this gourmet seed blend adds deli-style flavour to everything.

4. Traditional & Modern Uses

🥯 Classic Pairings:

• Bagels with cream cheese (duh)

• Avo toast (top it like a boss)

🍽️ Creative Kiwi Twists:

• Sprinkle over roasted kūmara, cauliflower, or air-fried potatoes

• Mix into yoghurt or hummus for a savoury dip
