In 2016, in the Vox start-up show “Die Höhle der Löwen”, Anne and Stefan Lemcke laid the foundation for one of the most impressive and successful start-up stories of recent years, which is said to have started in a garage. The investors around Ralf Dümmel, Frank Thelen and Co. were fired up for the fine seasoning mixtures of the two Hamburgers, got in and opened the box. And the Lemckes hit the nerve of millions of amateur cooks with their creations. Ankerkraut now has more than 100 mixtures for grilling, cooking, baking and drinking in its range. There are also cookbooks, large and small kitchen aids and coffee specialties.
Is your spice cupboard already bursting at the seams? This is bad. Because one or the other glass from the Ankerkraut Advent Calendar Family

The calendar itself is designed as a kind of plug-in box. The 24 cardboard boxes with the spice mixtures fit perfectly in square drawers and are pulled out to the front. There should be at least 53 centimeters of space on the window sill or the sideboard, because that’s how wide the Family is
For the more or less imaginative names of the 24 seasoning creations, some heads probably smoked. They are called Pit Powder, Porcalypse, Honey Kong, Ancient Greek or Umami Ahead! You won’t really get smart from it at first, although experienced hobby cooks could at least guess what the glass is about. This is nicely corked and sealed. Very fine noses can also sniff through the cork in which culinary direction it is going. The ingredients and which piece of fish, meat or vegetable you can ultimately refine with the mixture are written on the back of each glass. Twelve of these are declared by Ankerkraut as a spice preparation or mixture of seasoning ingredients for fish or meat. There are also five creations with salt, which Honey Kong boldly married with honey powder and sugar.
Also exciting is a spice preparation with smoked salt, smoked paprika and jalapeño as well as mace and the sumac known from the Orient. The Japanese-inspired umami is one step ahead! undoubtedly one of the most exotic mixtures in the Ankerkraut Advent Calendar Family
