This blog is intended to be mainly technical in nature, but every so aften I come across a website that I just HAVE to tell people about. Today that website is The San Francisco Herb Company. My wife and I love cooking, but I always hate paying the outrageous costs of supermarket herbs and spices.
The SF Herb Company solved that in one well-timed order. For $150 + shipping 3 years ago I ordered all the herbs and spices we have needed. The only drawback is that you have to use them as refills because everything comes bagged not in jars.
Their prices have gone up a little in the last 3 years – especially in a few difficult-to-source areas – but prices like $2.20 for 1lb of fenugreek (whole), $4.55 for 1lb of cumin seeds and $2.60 for 1lb of celery seed makes a much more sensible purchase than $5-6 per 2 or 3oz container at the supermarkets.
