Mediterranean Culinary Herbs (Organic) - Seed kit gift box

Seasoning your food with fresh homegrown herbs from your own garden, windowsill or balcony is truly like adding the cherry on top of the cake and also extremely healthy, as most kitchen herbs not only enhance with wonderful flavours but often also have medicinal properties, which is probably why they had been added to recipes originally. For example there are quite a few herb species that support the digestive system.

For this seed kit we hand selected 5 important organic kitchen herbs:

• Organic oregano (Origanum vulgare)
  Oregano is one of the classic Italian kitchen herbs and its leafs are essential for seasoning pizza and plenty other iconic Mediterranean dishes. It is also an important plant for bees and insects, which feed off its nectar.
• Organic rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
  Rosemary is probably among the most important Mediterranean kitchen herbs and tastes delightful in combination with potatoes, red meat and courgettes. It is also a uniquely scented old medicinal plant, which can act as a natural pesticide.
• Organic sage (Salvia officinalis)
  Sage is a traditional medicinal-, and kitchen herb descending from the mediteranean and tastes lovely with meat and fish.
• Organic thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
  The characteristic flavour of thyme works really well for seasoning stews, soups, fish and meat dishes. Prepared as a tea infusion, it also helps to relieve diseases of the respiratory tract.
• Organic basi 'Medium' (Ocimum basilicum)
  'Medium' is a lush growing basil variety with medium sized leafs and a particularly fine aroma.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
