ROSEMARY 25GM
$2.50Add to cartUse these whole, rosemary leaves on roasted meat and in casseroles. (SML PKT)
Other Common Names: Polar Plant, Compass Plant. Botanical Name: (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Description & Use: Rosemary is a hardy annual herb that has a strong, pine-like flavour, which compliments rich and full-flavoured foods. Often traditionally used on lamb, Rosemary also goes well with mashed vegetables, beans and in homemade breads. Rosemary leaves are best in slow cooked dishes, which gives them time to soften and infuse their flavour. Ground Rosemary is appropriate when a little Rosemary flavour is required on grilled meats (lamb, pork and chicken). Just sprinkle a little on to the meat.
Due to seasonal factors, some fragrant rosemary flower buds may be found among the leaves. These are just as edible as the leaves and have a delicate rosemary flavour.

SAFFRON CLR PWD 15GM
$2.50Add to cartThese premium quality pure stigmas have a classic ‘woody’ aroma & intense colour. One half gram pack contains approx 250 stigmas (SML PKT)
Botanical Name: (Crocus sativus)
Description & Use: The World’s most expensive spice, Saffron is the stigma that is plucked from a low-growing, purple-flowered crocus. There are only 3 Saffron stigmas per flower and 5 acres of Saffron plants yields somewhere between 500g and 750g of Saffron stigmas in a good year! Saffron that contains pale yellow threads is actually Saffron stigmas with the style attached. The style is the section that joins the stigmas into the base of the flower, and Saffron with yellow style is regarded as inferior to pure Saffron stigmas. Because of its high value Saffron is often adulterated with safflower petals, coconut fibre, cornsilk and any other similar looking material that the unscrupulous trader can pass off as Saffron.
For information about fake saffron see: This YouTube Video
Herbie’s Spices pure Saffron is available in two grades:
Kashmiri Whole Stigmas,which has the best colour, aroma and flavour and Iranian, which has a very good colour, is brittle and good for powdering, and has a slightly sweeter floral aroma and similarly floral taste.
Saffron has been so valued over the centuries because it is a water soluable dye. It is used to colour and flavour rice dishes such as paella and biryani. Use between 8 and 12 stigmas to colour 1 cup of rice. Soak the stigmas in warm water for about 15 minutes before adding with the Saffron and coloured water to a dish. -
