100% USDA Organic

Watkins now offers a new line of USDA certified, 100% Organic Herbs and Spices.
 
Organic food differs from conventionally produced food in the way it is grown, handled, and processed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture offers this definition of organic food: "...Before a product can be labeled ‘organic,’ a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.”
 
Freshness Matters!
 
Homemaker's often place herbs and spices in places that look nice, rather than storing the products where they will stay fresh longer. A reminder that heat, light and moisture are not good for dried herbs or spices.
 
Watkins Herbs and Spices contain the highest amount of essential oils, flavor, and aroma possible. To ensure the freshest, most intense flavor and aroma from your herbs and spices, replace them every 12  to 15 months. However, if you have not used a product in a year...
