Why do some name brand items taste differently than off-brand items, yet they have the same ingredients?
In: 520
This thread has brought up a big pet peeve of mine. Recipes never say what brands to buy. For example, chili powder tastes drastically different from brand to brand. This is just one example out of dozens I could give. Even some fresh ingredients differ quite a bit on taste. What kind of onion, or potatoes are you using?

– Different amounts of ingredients
– Different quality of ingredients
– Different processing of the item
– It’s no longer fresh

Egg has one ingredient, egg, baked egg, poached egg, scrambled egg, hardboiled egg, softboiled egg, fried egg, egg casserole, they all only use egg, but they are all made in different way, that gives them different taste and texture.
Same is true here, even with the same ingredients, how they are used matters very much, as well as the quality of the ingredients, which is one of the primary reasons off-brand items are cheaper, they use cheaper ingredients, cheaper does not mean worse, but there is a lower quality check to hit.
