Blind Tasting BUDGET vs PREMIUM Ingredients: Are They Worth It?
Can you actually taste the difference between budget and premium ingredients… and is the expensive version really worth it?
In this blind taste test, we put cheap vs expensive ingredients head-to-head to find out where the extra money really goes. Is it better flavour? Better texture? Better sourcing? Better ingredients? Or just better branding?
We tested 4 Categories in real dishes:
Sesame Oil in Yukhoe
Frozen Garlic Bread with Pasta Bolognese
Rogan Josh Curry Sauce in a Lamb Rogan Josh
Granny Smith Apples in a Crab Salad
Some of these products looked similar. Some had wildly different price tags. And some premium ingredients came with all the right claims; handcrafted, hand-picked, natural, Michelin-linked, high-quality sourcing, traditional production methods. But once it came down to the actual tasting… could we tell?
Along the way we look at:
– Whether premium ingredients really deliver more flavour
– What to check on labels before you spend extra
– Where cheaper ingredients often cut corners
– Which products are worth upgrading
From Japanese toasted sesame oil to Michelin-linked curry sauce, this is a full budget vs premium food taste test to find out what’s genuinely worth paying for.
Let us know in the comments:
Which ingredient do you think makes the biggest difference and which “premium” product do you think is overrated?

Can Crusher Further Info –
Some Pro kitchens use industrial can crushers because empty tins and cans are mostly air taking up valuable space, filling bins quickly and making waste areas messy. Crushing them can reduce waste volume by up to 85-90% meaning time is saved from staff with fewer runs to the bin, cleaner back-of-house areas, easier recycling and potentially lower collection costs. For high volume restaurants opening dozens or even hundreds of cans a day, it’s less about novelty (sorry Jamie) and more about control: turning bulky kitchen waste into a compact, manageable recycling stream.
Greggs (UK Bakery) has publicly documented how serious waste logistics are at scale: with thousands of shops, limited storage space and tens of thousands of waste collections every month, even small changes to segregation, compaction and recycling can create big operational savings.
