Why buy from me? Because I offer a freshness guarantee. Even if your spice pantry has dozens of herbs and spices, like mine does, and you use a variety of spices every day, chances are you will be throwing away your hard earned dollars because store bought spices only stay fresh for six months.
I purchase my herbs and spices directly from the importer/exporter.
Whenever reasonable, I purchase organic products.
Almost all my herbs and spices are purchased whole and are roasted and ground before packaging and shipping.
I store all my herbs and spices in vacuum packs in a dark freezer to preserve freshness.
Another good reason to buy my spices is because additives in store bought spices are not healthy. Researchers are publishing that food additives are suspect in the high rate of asthma and cancer in today's society. Why are they mixed with possible poisons? Big industries have no choice. Their spices sit in a warehouse, are shipped in non-refrigerated trucks and then wait on a store shelf for weeks to months before you put them in your shopping cart. Spices have many medicinal properties. Modern scientists are calling these natural chemicals nutraceuticals. Indigenous cultures have known about these qualities for centuries and used spices and herbs to heal illness and boost libido.
