Acadian Kitchens

Take yourself to another time and place where culinary excellence meets the finest blend of flavors you can find without having to leave your kitchen. We at Acadian Kitchens carefully fuse authentic and diverse tastes of Louisiana's Creole and Cajun cultures to bring you traditional, bold flavors, proudly from the land. 


From Louisiana’s robust, country food with French and Southern influences to the polished tastes of New Orleans, we offer the seasonings and fixings you need to create authentic, vibrant, and simply delicious dishes.

Cajun's Choice

The story of Cajun's Choice is about staying true to one of America's most unique regional cuisines. Our products are derived from original recipes, containing more spice and less salt than national brands.


The Cajun’s Choice seasoning blends use only the highest quality, all natural, non-GMO and clean ingredients. Garden-fresh vegetables - commonly onion, garlic, celery and bell pepper, are mixed with fresh peppers, herbs and spices grown locally or imported from premium growing regions. These herbs and spices, blended with flavors only found in Cajun country, create seasonings and condiments that are true to this region.


Cajun’s Choice is sold nationwide in key accounts such as Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, Publix, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, Delhaize, WinCo, Wakefern, Winn-Dixie, Ingles, Topps, Hy-Vee, Schnuck’s and several national independent wholesale distributors.

Ragin' Cajun

What separates us from our competition is our dedication to remaining true to the heritage of Cajun cooking. From our manufacturing location in the heart of Cajun country, to our specially designed roux pots that cook our small batch runs for over 10 hours before they are bottled, our devotion to authenticity will never waiver.


We let the quality of our products speak for themselves. Our choice to source only the highest quality ingredients is backed by our decision not to hide the taste of those ingredients by over seasoning with salt like our competitors. Our Bean Mixes have 12 different spices and vegetables with our Seasonings proudly calling out “More Spice, Less Salt” because we want people to taste authentic food the way it should be.

Ragin Cajun products are designed with timesaving simplicity in mind. From our 3-step Dry Bean preparation process (Rinse, Beans, Add Seasoning Packet, Cook) to our 2-step Shrimp Creole Sauce and Etouffee Mix (Add Protein, Cook), we’ve made cooking gourmet Cajun/Creole dishes at home an easy choice for the first-timer or culinary expert.
