Pickled Curried Cauliflower Mystery Thursday

Three bunches of approximately 20 dried lavender stems per bundle, totaling 60 stems per package. These lavender wands are 18 to 20 inches long. At Mariquita Farm we do not use fungicides, pesticides or insecticides on our herbal, floral or vegetable crops. That's "NO" as in "none." All fertilizers are naturally derived from cover crops or from OMRI approved brands of organic fertilizers. Special price $20 per 60 stem package.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" -- this collection includes Greek Laurel (10 leaves), Rosemary (8g) and Marjoram (10g). The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.

Fragrant Lavender has so many uses from tea to bathwater. When used in cooking it can pair well with herbs like oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory. Make your own dry blend of herbs and flowers (we like lavender with mint and rosemary) and rub on lamb chops or chicken wings before grilling. Lavender florets can be ground and mixed with sugar to use in baking or to frost the rim of a cool Lavender martini. Cheers!
