"As an Italian chef, I can't live without rosemary, thyme, and oregano (add the Oregano Flower Buds grinder to your cart!). When my garden stash runs low, B&B herbs far surpass any store-bought ones in flavor. The purple stripe garlic powder is a game-changer for seasoning. Not only is it immune-boosting, it also eliminates the spiciness of raw cloves when added to salad dressings — my favorite kid hack. And the pearl salt is a must for finishing dishes. We use this mind-blowing cinnamon daily in oatmeal, frothed milk, cappuccinos, and of course, when we make dessert. And cardamom gets sprinkled on sweet, dairy-based dishes to aid digestion — it shines when paired with blueberries!"

Our piney, aromatic rosemary is grown organically in Provence by a cooperative of partner farmers. It boasts a rich, complex, clean flavor that is the result of both careful farming practices and a superlative terroir. It's harvested in early summer, when the small, verdant needles are cut and dried as they ripen to a brilliant green. We pack it as quickly as possible to preserve the delicate oils that give this herb its signature citrus-peel flavor.Ingredients:
Rosemary leaves (Salvia rosmarinus), cut and dried
- Sub for fresh rosemary in any recipe
- Add to soups and stews
- Use in braises for chicken, red meat and root vegetables
-
Our Flowering Hyssop Thyme has a beautiful floral, herbaceous flavor and aroma. It has an ancient history of culinary and medicinal usage in Turkey, where it is the primary ingredient in za'atar. Use it in place of regular thyme with roasted chicken, grilled vegetables and tomato sauces.Ingredients:
Hyssop thyme (Thymus capitatus)
=- Add to stocks, soups, stews - especially your tomato sauces
- Toss with vegetables, olive oil, salt, pepper and chili flakes before cooking

Our Pearl Salt is formed in salt pans by evaporating the aquamarine seawater of Tanzania's Swahili Coast. The strong northern Kaskazi winds roll the salt crystals into delicate pearls that pop when you eat them. A bright, mineral flavor profile and perfectly crunchy texture make this pearl salt an ideal finishing salt or garnish for all your favorite foods.Ingredients:

Our Cloud Forest Cardamom is sweet and tart, reminiscent of summer fruits, fresh herbs and cut grass.

The fruit turns yellow as it ripens on the vine and has a softer and sweeter flavor that makes it a perfect upgrade to standard green cardamom.Ingredients:
Ground cardamom pods (Elettaria cardamomum)
