An essential ingredient in canning pickles. Dill (Anethum Graveolens) is reminiscent of mild caraway seeds.

Garlic, Minced & Dried
Garlic is the most heavily used seasoning in many parts of the world. All of the world's great cuisines, from Greek to Chinese, Italian to French, make abundant use of this pungent bulb. The world's finest garlic is American, grown and harvested in central California. Fresh is the best but it is not available in all ears year round. It also has a limited shelf life.One pound of dehydrated garlic is made from 9 pounds of fresh garlic bulbs. Granulated garlic powder is the most popular type of garlic, since it is easy to sprinkle on meats, vegetables and bread, and measures easily for recipes. Minced dry garlic is also very highly prized. We like it in salad dressings and marinates as well as keeping some on the shelf for use when the fresh garlic is out of season. It can be used right out of the package or rehydrated.To rehydrate: Use 1 tsp. in 1 Tbsp. water to equal 2 fresh cloves. It is important to rehydrate garlic for a few minutes before adding it to tart foods like tomatoes, or to sauces that contain vinegar or lemon juice (the acidic nature of these foods will stop the garlic flavor from developing to its full strength). When adding dry, use 1 /2 tsp. for each garlic clove needed. Sprinkle on poultry, steak, chops or fish; use about 1 /2 tsp. per lb. when marinating meats. The health departments advise eating lots of garlic to keep mosquitos from biting! You can never have too much garlic!

Rosemary Leaves (3 oz) $6.99
Rosemary is used primarily in Italy in lamb, pork, chicken, and rabbit dishes. Rosemary has a tea-like aroma and a piney flavor. Rosemary's name is rooted in biblical legend. The story goes that during her flight from Egypt, the Virgin Mary draped her blue cloak on a Rosemary bush. She then laid a white flower on top of the cloak. That night, the flower turned blue and the bush was thereafter known as the "rose of Mary". Greeks, who wove Rosemary wreaths into their hair, believed Rosemary strengthened the brain and enhanced memory (so do we). It was also known as a symbol of fidelity. In the Middle Ages, Rosemary was used medicinally and as a condiment for salted meats. In Europe, wedding parties burned Rosemary as incense. Judges burned it to protect against illness brought in by prisoners. This herb contains fatty acids of terpenes, a naturally occurring substance that encourages cancer cells in tumors to stop reproducing and eventually die.
Today, research has discovered that when the terpene from rosemary is given alongside the chemotherapy drugs Adriamycin and Velban, cancer cells may begin to absorb the chemotherapy that they had previously resisted. Packed in our airtight jar for optimum freshness! We never get enough Rosemary!

The tree bears yellow flower that ripens into a brown star shaped spice. The Star Anise seeds are not as aromatic and flavorful as the pod. Star Anise is an important spice in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking and is an essential ingredient in the Chinese five spice powder. Star Anise is not the same as Anise Seed. Both Star Anise and Anise Seed share an essential oil called Anethole (Licorice Taste) which is why these spices have a similar flavor. Star Anise has more of a robust flavor than the Anise Seed. Star Anise is rusty brown, star shaped ranging from 1 to 1-1/2 wide. Packed in our airtight jar for optimum freshness!

Thyme is the leaf of a low-growing shrub in the mint family called Thymus vulgaris. Its tiny grayish-green leaves rarely are greater than one-fourth inch long. For use as a condiment, Thyme leaves are dried then chopped, or ground. Thyme is also indigineous to the Mediterranean. Thyme is often included in seasoning blends for poultry and stuffing and also commonly used in fish sauces, chowders, and soups. It goes well with beef, lamb and veal as well as in eggs, custards, and croquettes. Thyme often is paired with tomatoes. Thyme has a subtle, dry aroma and a slightly minty flavor. Ancient Greeks considered Thyme a symbol of courage and sacrifice. Tradition tells that Thyme was in the straw bed of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child. In the Middle Ages, ladies would embroider a sprig of Thyme into scarves they gave to their errant knights. At various periods in history, Thyme has been used to treat melancholy, reproductive system ailments, and to improve digestion. Thyme is brimming with an essential oil that is rich in thymol. Thymol, along with rosmarinic and ursolic acids are terpenes and possess anti cancer properties. Thyme can also be used as an antiseptic,
antibacterial, and strong antioxidant. When used in mouthwash, it can treat inflammations in the mouth and throat. Packed in our airtight jar for optimum freshness!
