What Are Organic Spices
Organic spices are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means that they are pure, untainted by chemicals, and free from artificial additives.
Our organic spices are certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI) using a 5 step process. 1
1) Application
2) Inspection
3) Review
4) Resolution
5) Certification
This rigorous process requires annual compliance inspections, a strict list of approved materials, documentation of organic practices, and guidelines for protecting soil ecology and water quality.
Why Organic?
One of the most compelling reasons to choose organic spices is the health benefits they offer. Organic farming practices prioritize soil health, and this healthier soil produces more nutrient-rich spices. When you incorporate organic spices from Harris Spice into your products, you can be confident that you're offering ingredients that are not only delicious but also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Plus, you'll eliminate any concerns about potentially harmful chemicals such as synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
Consumers are willing to pay a premium for food that carries the USDA organic seal. Harris Spice not only offers a full list of over 40 organic spice varieties, we can also develop organic seasonings.
