ABOUT:
The best Dan seasoning on the market.
Taste and see why we say "You don’t know till you Dan-O!"
Low Sodium = More Flavor
When using Dan-O’s, you can be a lot more aggressive than you would with other seasonings, because you’re not using a bunch of salt.
By sprinkling Dan-O’s aggressively we are adding flavor and allowing the herbs and spices to really penetrate our food, cooking real flavor into it while not overpowering your dish with salt - all while still getting a great, natural sea salt flavor!
Dan-O’s still has a great salt flavor because we use an all-natural, unrefined sea salt. Most other seasonings not only use too much salt, but they also use cheap, chemically broken down salts that are actually bad for you.
All the Dan Uses
Why Dan-O’s is the Most Versatile Seasoning on the Market!
Pan sear, grill, smoke, bake, blacken or fry Dan-near anything.
Create soups, sauces, marinades, and vinaigrette from scratch.
Try replacing your salt and pepper shakers with Dan-O’s for a week to sprinkle on everything from eggs, potatoes, pizza, pasta, rice, chili to even casseroles.
Mix Dan-O’s and parmesan cheese in a separate bottle for your own Dan good parmesan mix that’s great for pizza, pasta, or even on popcorn!

[@KarlaReyes-tq7pb]

Excellent advice! Thanks a lot for the guidance. I've been told by many people that love my cooking that I should sell the seasoning blends. It's been gnawing at me for years. I'm going to finally take the plunge! We just have a few names/logos to figure out first. Thanks again!!!

Thanks Dan really appreciate the informative information. I have been wanted to go into a spice business since Covid hit. Im ready now, this video helped me alot 😊

[@user-sp8fz8cz6m]

Have u started it

[@MrJohnSmalley]

Honestly Dan...you have grown on me. Your story is inspiring and I respect the hustle. You turned this "hater" into a fan. Just bought your seasoning for the first time a month or so ago and it's a solid choice I like to use for my cilents as my job is being a personal chef. Keep on grinding Dan-O!!!

[@theForrestGalantey]

Lol much respect but what fid you hate him for earlier? Always respected Dan and his recipes on insta and what not years ago. Glad he made it and I buy hos seasoning, its pretty good.

[@MrJohnSmalley]

@theForrestGalantey I'm not quite sure, to be honest, as that was like a year ago. I think a lot of it had to do with being a personal chef and seeing how "cringe" his recipes he was cooking. I would notice the mistakes or bad cooking habits in those videos. But I soon realized that's just ignorant, and as a self-employed person myself, I respect the success and appreciate the journey.

[@krystaaguilar2966]

Super helpful!! Thank you!!!

[@Jackknife-TV]

That is so nice of you I will always be at danos customer just for the fact that if you think about it you may be helping out your competition........ But entrepreneurism is what America was built on unfortunately that is going by the wayside and it is nice to know that there are still people out there willing to help others succeed as well.

[@jaylen0409]

I started in 2018 using a co packer. I been selling my blends part time since then. I am ready to focus on my business full time.

[@user-lr1tu6op3f]

Ok buddy you have found success and you're trying to help someone else. I appreciate that. My out look for you in the next five years is that you will continue to grow in so much that more warehouses manufacturing sales etc you get the idea. Now when you do keep this review and get in touch with me I'll be wanting a job. I've always wanted to help folks to. We see you're product in Chattanooga TN. Great price excellent flavor. It's got an outside feel to it. It makes you want to get folks together get out away from the cell phones and cook and enjoy. Ok man I'll be waiting you'll be working. Keep the review. Dan'os get you some. You folks read this support people like this guy who really is trying to help someone else UP.

Great talk Dan.

[@abundantp]

I'm so thankful for you. Do you get a comercial kitchen first? Do you have to go to the better business first.

[@Makemyluck]

I love your voice because, I personally listen to videos at a 1.5 speed or 2.0 speed and for many people it doesn’t transition well. Meaning you’re unable to understand it because of how they speak they tone etc. i can perfectly understand you even at 1.5 speed video

Very helpful information 👍🏾

[@militiamuzic618]

One point I feel you missed is how and where do you get your food tested to have the calorie breakdown done for the ingredient label?

[@chrislippers]

very helpful. Thank you

[@RossDouglas80]

Cool of you to share this!

[@sandysontherun]

When using a co-packer, do they supply the seasoning and the jars? And once I get my labels made do I just send it to the copacker?

[@cyndifoore7743]

Thank you!!!

[@glenndanzigg712]

Great energy and drive. They should be teaching this type of stuff in school. All natural entrepreneurship. The seasoning is awesome Dan!

[@Fourlyfe2024]

Great job I appreciate this information

[@alajzyoutube6770]

Thank you so much

[@lutherwaffles90]

When you went to farmers markets in the beginning, did you give samples or just place your seasoning on the table for people to try it out?

[@ford_rangerxl]

How did you come up with the name? Really love your channel BTW and your product looks great

[@kristellkaylesantos8206]

THANK YOU!

[@dukefleed8369]

Great information, Thank you so much! What do you think about submitting a sauce recipe idea to companies that make sauces?

[@CharlieWallbanger510]

Thank you sir.

[@hfmx3200]

Great video thanks for the tips

[@hairbychestina5010]

Thank you!!! And much success in your business. Are you open to sharing cost vs. profit?

Where would i go to get the ingredients wholesale and machinery necessary to pack my own items ?

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

Great Video. Very informative, Dan-O!

[@WTFisLacy]

Thank you sir

[@stevencloudas2224]

What kinda of shows are you talking about, is there shows for just like new seasonings products ? Or things of that nature. I really enjoy the information and thank you

[@CarlinPlayz]

I'm 14 and I managed to make this very good seasoning for hamburgers. I'll probably make a couple of containers and ask people in town to try it out. If people like it I'll probably try to sell it.

[@michaelobrien2240]

Man I just want to thank you for that knowledge.. I was sitting here on my couch like how do I do this out my apartment me and my wife living in.. How do i push my product out my apartment? Im in Texas. Do i have to have a commercial kitchen?

[@dreamiezzz6478]

Thank you so much!! So im still stuck on if i need to establish an LLC first? Anybody know ? Do i need that to move forward and start selling

[@rlwhitefield]

Very awesome of you Dan-O

[@MISTERMEZSSKITCHEN]

what are the paperwork i need to start a seasoning 🧂 business

[@rossweaver2128]

Ok so I have a product my restaurant I own has been making for over 40 years. Do you think I should still start small or go straight co packer? It’s a very successful product in our local region. Worried that growing too quickly could be an issue. Any thoughts?

[@ShailPM]

Love this video

[@DiamondDs504]

Question: I know that you have an LLC but did you have to get a copyright for the name once your business expanded?

[@marieljohnson9241]

Thank you

[@overplayed3553]

so your only able to make with co packers or manufactures? co packers being smaller scale

[@jimmyjimmy1038]

Do you help people 1 to 1 with starting similar business? Your product are little expensive, but they're great, I love them.

[@maximemoreau6941]

Nice video buddy. When you were making it yourself, were you using any special equipement to make them faster ? Commercial/industrial scale or a 0,1g 40$ scale ? Any other equipements you wish you had at the very beginning ?

[@FoodNetworking]

Great job

[@chrisvines8965]

Thanks, Yes this video is very helpful.

[@byronryder1972]

Hey just wondering when your Cajun seasoning will be out? And do you think you will ever do like a burger seasoning or will your seasoning work

[@ritewaywelding]

First off great video I love stuff like this, my question for you or any small business with big dreams is how did you finance the big orders? So when you need that 50k or 500k for Inventory where did that cash come from? I find this is the question most often avoided in a success story, do you have investors, bank loan, home equity or are the margins so good you can self finance. Thanks

[@malcolmjelani3588]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽I love it

[@kimberlyherring7072]

[@kimberlyherring7072]

I work at Walmart and see your seasoning on shelf going to give it a try

[@smartcustomgrills]

THANKS

[@michaellangston2856]

Did you start off with an original flavor or did you have multiple flavors to start?

[@Kevin_747]

How do you guard your recipes when using a contractor for packaging?

[@ddderrick3636]
