Calling Chefs of the World Who Excel Plus Santas Everywhere: Winter Microgreen Hits from Fresh Origins! What’s New on the Farm for December 2015: Herb Crystals® Habanero and Petite™Basil Holiday Mix™

New item: Herb Crystals® Habanero

Introduced to you first here:
A blast of sweet heat! Fresh Origins Herb Crystals® Habanero is our newest flavor. Zesty and crunchy with just the right amount of heat and sweetness, this all-natural flavor Crystal has an authentic fresh pepper flavor-kick that will add excitement to any food from sweet to savory including salads, meats, seafood, pastry, fresh fruit, gelato, chocolate, and more. What a great way to activate our pain receptor pathways to cause a release of feel-good endorphins!
Featured Item: Petite™Basil Holiday Mix™

We've created a festive, flavorful combination of three very unique Basil varieties to commemorate the holidays: Basil Cinnamon, Basil Allspice™ and Basil Nutmeg™. This inventive Basil Mix is ideal for the rustic bounty of the winter season to brighten up a wide range of applications. Cinnamon Basil is an aromatic and vibrant flavor combination of basil and cinnamon. Basil Allspice™ has a potent, distinctive sweet and spicy flavor. Basil Nutmeg™ has the smooth comforting fragrance of vanilla, with an extravagant nutmeg flavor that adds a subtle richness to enhance any dish. Our Petite™Basil Holiday Mix™ combines well with pumpkin or celery root soup, roasted winter squash, beets, parsnips, fresh fruit, pasta and desserts. There is no shortage of flavor in this blend!
