organic spices

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Frontier has some organic spices, and most co-ops and co-op buying clubs seem to

have a selection.

Honestly? I wonder at the necessity of many OG herbs and spices. Many have no

pests and require no fertilizer, get no mildew or blight.... chock-ful of their

own insecticides, antifungals, etc. Since the OG differential is pretty high

for spices, would it be worth your time to focus on those you use quite a lot of

and investigate them thoroughly?

And grow whatever you can. About a quarter of my front yard is given over to

herbs that require virtually no care (I hack at them once a year) and are very

decorative. A few things have to go inside, like bay, rosemary, lemongrass,

ginger, galangal, and turmeric (or the last few can just be sliced or grated and

frozen).

>>Does anyone know of an organic spice company. I've

used Penzey's in the past, but their spices aren't

organic - high quality, but not organic.

I'm especially looking for one that has spice blends,

for chicken, meats, etc. I love the Penzeys spices

for ranch dressing, but again, it's not organic.

Thanks,

jafa
