Eco-friendly packaging:
Our herbs are packaged in resealable, fully biodegradable and compostable pouches. Even the zipper is compostable! Please compost in your commercial compost outlet (green bin or large farm compost pile) rather than your home garden compost though, as it needs high temperature compost to fully biodegrade. We have thus bypassed the use of plastic or glass. These pouches are much lighter, which allows a better carbon footprint during shipping.
We have also eliminated the need for the plastic scoopers often used by granule companies to measure grams of herbs. Rather, we have converted that measurement into teaspoons, so that anyone with a baking spoon measuring set at home can get the right dose, without sending more plastic into the earth!
Please note: the pouches are durable, but because of their biodegradable nature, they will perform best in a dry environment. Avoid storing in damp areas. Kept dry, the herbs will have a shelf life of well over a year.
