Peppermint

Cayenne Chile Pepper
$8.25 – $16.50Named after the city in French Guiana & popular in the American South, Cayenne Chile delivers a powerful 40,000 – 100,000 Scoville Heat Units with very little added flavor. Use to add heat to any dish.
Cumin
$9.00 – $24.30Native to the Mediterranean and South Asia, Cumin is also a signature flavor for Central American and European cuisines. As a symbol of love and fidelity during the Middle Ages, wedding guests carried Cumin in their pockets, and wives of soldiers added it to baked bread for their husbands. Our Cumin is hand harvested, and has a high percentage of essential oils, delivering more powerful aromatics, and a slightly astringent, citrusy quality.
Thyme
$7.25 – $19.60To ancient Greeks, Thyme symbolized style, elegance and courage. In the middle ages, ladies would embroider thyme leaves on the scarves of their knights to wear into battle. To the Roman, Pliny, it was a remedy for a myriad of disorders.
Use to season leg of lamb, French stews, Italian dishes, poultry stuffing, Manhattan clam chowder, and stocks. Try on fresh tomatoes, add a pinch to marinades, herb butters and cottage cheese (or put under your pillow to ward off bad dreams). [Thyme]
Ancho Chile Pepper
$5.50 – $17.00The Ancho Chile is the dried version of the Poblano Pepper and the most popular dried chile in Mexican cooking. The sweetest of dried peppers, with deep, rich berry flavors, mild bitterness, and mild to medium hotness, Ancho is frequently used as the base flavor of sauce and spice mixes like dry rubs or mole. We stem and partially seed our Anchos by hand before milling to provide the strongest Chile flavors without being overpowered by excessive heat. Try replacing paprika with Ancho Chile Powder in any recipe to bring a fuller, earthier Chile flavor and beckoning for you to take another bite.
