The Journey of Herbs
Herbs play an essential role in the flavors and aromas of numerous cuisines worldwide, and each herb brings its distinct taste and fragrance to dishes. Some of the most commonly imported herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and sage, as well as specialty herbs like tarragon, marjoram, and dill.
These herbs are imported from countries around the world, including Mediterranean countries like Greece, Italy, and Turkey, as well as Asian countries like India, China, and Thailand. The specific origin of the herbs can often impact their flavor and quality, as the climate and soil conditions can influence the herb’s growth and flavor profile.
Herbs are typically harvested at their peak freshness, then carefully cleaned and sorted to remove any unwanted materials. Once the herbs have been sorted, they are typically dried using a commercial dehydrator or air-drying process.

The herbs are placed in a controlled environment with the appropriate temperature and humidity settings to ensure consistent and thorough drying. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the type of herb and the desired level of dryness.
After the herbs have been dried, they are typically inspected for quality and graded based on factors such as color, aroma, and flavor. The herbs are then packaged in airtight containers or bags to protect them from moisture and ensure that they remain fresh during shipping.
Throughout the entire process of drying herbs, it is crucial to maintain strict hygiene standards to prevent contamination and preserve the integrity of the herbs. This includes keeping the drying environment clean, using proper handling techniques, and regularly testing the herbs for any signs of spoilage or contamination.
