What are organic spices?

Organic spices are spices that are grown and processed without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). They are also not irradiated or treated with any chemical preservatives.

Organic spices are grown using sustainable farming practices and are certified by various organizations to meet specific standards for organic production. They are considered to be healthier and more environmentally friendly than conventionally grown spices. Additionally, organic spices are also known to have a stronger aroma and taste compared to non-organic spices.

Where do your herbs & spices come from?

Our herbs and spices come from a variety of sources, all of which are carefully vetted to ensure they meet our strict quality standards. We work with farmers and suppliers from around the world to bring you the best quality, organic spices. We are committed to sourcing our products from sustainable, fair trade farms and are always looking for new and innovative ways to support small-scale farmers and communities..

Why are my spices different in aroma, color or taste than the previous time I ordered?

There are a few factors that can cause differences in the aroma, color, or taste of spices. One of the main factors is the crop and the time of year it was harvested. Spices can vary depending on the growing conditions and the climate, which can affect the aroma, color, and taste. Additionally, the age of the spices can also play a role. Spices lose their potency over time, so if you have had the spices for a while, it's possible that they are not as fresh as they were before.

Another factor to consider is how the spices were stored. Spices should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture to maintain their quality. If the spices were not stored properly, this can cause changes in the aroma, color, and taste.

Lastly, sometimes suppliers change or for various reasons certain products are not available and the store has to source from a different supplier.

However, if you’re not satisfied with the quality or have any concerns or questions, please get in touch with us.

The organic onion and garlic I bought is clumping up. Is it out of date?

Don’t worry, this is not a problem or a sign that your product has deteriorated. As our spices don’t contain any caking agents, clumping can occur naturally. Keep it in a cool dry place to avoid this as much as possible.

Do you add salt or sugar to your spices?

No, we don't add any salt, sugar or other sweeteners to our spices. All their flavor and aroma are entirely natural.

What’s the expiration date for your products?

Our spices and herbs usually have a shelf life of 2 years (or 24 months) from the date of packaging as we don’t use preservatives or irradiation to extend their shelf life. This is clearly printed on each package and if you follow the storage instructions and keep them in a cool, dry place the likelihood that they will last for the duration of this period is highly increased. They might not be as robust and lose some of their aroma and taste over time, but they will still be safe for consumption. They may become a bit less potent over time, but they are perfectly safe to consume.
