Spike seasoning was created by Helmut Eugen Benjamin Gellert Hauser and it is widely appreciated on the American continent due to its numerous ingredients and thus flavors. Hauser was a naturopath who originated from Germany and people say that he used to be friends with Greta Garbo. He spent the first years of his life in Germany and when a teenager he came to the United States where he settled. Apparently he became ill with tuberculosis and he had to travel to Sweden in order to get treatment for his illness. There he met a monk who applied him a treatment based on herbs and diets and he eventually recovered successfully. After this experience he decided to begin studying foods and he became more and more interested in food science. In 1950 he published a book entitled “Look Younger, Live Longer” and his mixture known as Spike seasoning began to be manufactured in Wisconsin. Spike seasoning has been produced and popular in the United States for more than fifty years now and it is manufactured by Modern Products Inc.
