Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about choosing and using products in this collection.

Are all products in this collection suitable for food use?

Products in this collection are generally intended for culinary use, but it is still best to check the individual product page for the exact wording, format, and usage guidance. This is especially helpful if you are comparing them with botanicals or spices sold for non-food use elsewhere.

Why do natural herbs and spices sometimes vary in colour or aroma?

Natural ingredients can vary slightly from batch to batch due to seasonal, agricultural, and processing differences. Small changes in colour, cut, or scent are normal and do not necessarily mean the product quality has changed.

Can I use these herbs and spices in spice blends or seasoning mixes?

Yes, many products in this collection are well suited to custom spice blends, rubs, and seasoning mixes. Choosing the right cut or grind will help you get the texture and flavour profile you want.

Do herbs and spices lose strength over time?

Yes, their aroma and flavour can soften over time, especially if they are exposed to air, light, heat, or moisture. Keeping them well sealed helps them stay fresher for longer.

How do I know whether a herb or spice is best used early or late in cooking?

Whole spices and tougher herbs are often added earlier to release flavour over time, while delicate herbs and powders may be better added later. The best approach depends on the ingredient and the type of dish you are making.
