Fresh herbs are more popular than ever!




From the December 2008 Yearbook of Fresh Digest magazine:




"Now, instead of high sodium supplements like salt and garlic powder, more and more consumers are reaching for healthier, fresh herbs and spices at their local grocery store. So much, in fact, that fresh herbs and spices are one of the fastest growing categories amongst vegetables in the produce department.'




Fresh herbs and spices have experienced tremendous growth at the retail level', said Craig Agnew, Gourmet Garden, president for North America. 'The consumer has become increasingly aware of the importance of healthy eating and, at the same time, has developed a more sophisticated pallet that wants a fresher, better flavor'"
