Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a macronutrient, meaning that the body needs relatively large amounts of it.
Blackened seasoning is a mixture of herbs and spices used to impart flavor and color during cooking. The ingredients of this mixture vary but may include salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, thyme and oregano. Blackened seasoning is popular in Southern cuisine in the United States and is often used with seafood and chicken.
Primarily used in grilled preparations such as pork or chicken, the seasoning blend usually consists of ground chilies, thyme, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, garlic, and onions. The seasonings are either rubbed into the meat or mixed with a liquid to create a marinade.
