Seeds for exotic culinary and spice plants from all over the world
Exotic herbs and spices take our senses on a journey. And we don’t need to go anywhere at all – their perfumes and flavours instantly transport us to distant and exotic places.
Smelling something good, like freshly-baked bread, or a flower bouquet, triggers a reaction in our brain.~|||~ Our sense of smell is closely linked with the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and memories. The smell of freshly-baked cookies like our grandmother used to make, for example, will instantly evoke feelings of warmth and security.
Back to our exotic spices: what are the stories that spring to mind when you think of cinnamon, cocoa, ginger, cardamom, or chillies? Or maybe your instant response is to think of the amazingly delicious foods that come from Asia, India, Africa and other places?
Widen your horizons and bring the whole world into your home by growing your own exotic herbs and spices. Then you’ll have fresh ingredients to use in your cooking – and wonderful plants to enjoy, too.
