Harvesting

Organic mixed spice is a blend of various aromatic and flavourful spices, typically including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger. These spices are grown in different regions around the world, with each spice having its own unique growing conditions. For example, cinnamon is harvested from the inner bark of specific trees, while nutmeg is derived from the seeds of the evergreen tree Myristica fragrans.

The harvesting of these spices often occurs at different times of the year, depending on the specific spice and its growing region. Once harvested, the spices are typically processed by drying and grinding them into a fine powder. This process helps to preserve their natural flavours and aromas.

The resulting mixed spice is a warm, earthy brown colour, reflecting the combination of its individual components. As an organic product, it is free from synthetic additives and preservatives. The natural raw composition of organic mixed spice provides a rich array of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, such as antioxidants and essential oils, which contribute to its health-promoting properties and distinctive taste.

The organic nature of Organic Mixed Spice means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Mixed Spice in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Mixed Spice

The history of Organic Mixed Spice dates back to the 19th century, when it was first created in the United Kingdom. Its origins can be traced to the British colonial era, when traders and explorers brought back a variety of exotic spices from their travels to the East. The blend typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger, and was initially used to add depth and warmth to traditional British dishes. Over time, Organic Mixed Spice has become a staple in British baking, particularly in festive treats like Christmas pudding and mince pies. Its heritage reflects a fusion of global flavours that have enriched British culinary traditions.
