Review/Giveaway Gourmet Garden Organic Herbs And Spices

 
I love to cook with fresh herbs.  My problem is that if I buy a package of herbs at the store more than half of them go to waste because in each recipe it only calls for a small amount.  I hate wasting food!  That's why when Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices offered to send me their full line to try I was thrilled. 

One of the reasons is that these herbs and spices are packaged in tubes that last up to three months!  Meaning that I can use them as I need them and always have fresh tasting herbs and spices for my cooking! 

The second reason is because they are extremely high quality ingredients.  Gourmet Garden herbs and spices are grown on organic farms on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. Within 24 hours of harvesting they are simply washed, chopped, blended and packed into tubes guaranteeing their fresh taste and nutrition for up to 3 months.

Their product line is staggering with 14 fresh herbs to use in your favorite recipes. The difference in using fresh herbs as apposed to dried is huge!  The flavors are brighter and more intense with fresh which is why I always prefer to work with them.

I used Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices in a variety of ways for this review. One was in a make ahead breakfast egg dish that I make so that in the mornings I have a healthy protein filled option for my children.  I used the Garlic paste in place of the garlic powder and it turned out delicious.  Also in this recipe I could have used the dill or chili paste to add more kick. You can see my recipe for Scrambled Egg Muffins by clicking HERE.

I love using Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices.  They are delicious, economical, and healthy by being organic.  You can find them in the produce isle of almost all grocery stores.  Go to their website for great meal ideas and recipes.

  23. I would love to try the Mediterrean Seasoning - because I love the flavors of Mediterrean Cuisine! Same goes with the Italian Herbs...

    But the one I think I would use the most often (like multiple times A DAY - would be (regular) GARLIC. I already want to make each and everyone of their "Garlic Seasoning" recipes!

    Honestly I love cooking with herbs and it;s both impractical and expenses to always have fresh ones around (though we do grow some of our own! (year 'round!) - so I would love to win this wonderful prize and hope to eventually try them all! Thank you - and Happiest Easter!
