Watkins Now Offers Organic Herbs and Spices
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on October 15th, 2006 Watkins has introduced a line of 100% organic herbs and spices to the United States market as of September 1, 2006. This continues the Watkins tradition of developing new products for health-conscious consumers who are seeking the purest foods and seasonings available.
Watkins has been the leader in manufacturing premium, gourmet herbs and spices for over 100 years, so it makes sense to now offer a premium line of organic herbs and spices. Watkins new line of nineteen USDA certified, 100% Organic Herbs and Spices are packaged in beautiful gold tins, reminiscent of the Gold Medals they received for the highest quality spices in Paris in 1928. These nineteen spices represent approximately 70% of the total spice demand in the USA.
These are the organic spices that are now available: organic black pepper, organic chili powder, organic cinnamon, organic cumin, organic curry powder, organic dill, organic dry mustard, organic garlic powder, organic ginger, organic ground cloves, organic nutmeg, organic onion powder, organic oregano, organic paprika, organic parsley, organic rosemary, organic sage, and organic thyme.
More and more health-conscious consumers are seeking organic food for all or part of their diet. Organic food differs from everyday food in the way it is grown, handled, and processed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture offers the following definition of organic food:
“Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. 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.”
Watkins Organic Spices are certified organic by the USDA National Organic Program under its most stringent standards: 100% organic.
