Harvesting

Organic caraway seeds are typically harvested from the caraway plant, scientifically known as Carum carvi, which is a biennial herb belonging to the Apiaceae family. The plant is native to Western Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Caraway seeds are composed of essential oils, carbohydrates, protein, dietary fibre, and various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and magnesium. The harvesting of caraway seeds usually takes place in the summer months, typically from June to August, when the seeds have fully matured. The seeds are carefully harvested, ensuring that they are at their peak ripeness and flavour. After harvesting, the caraway seeds are typically processed by drying them to preserve their flavour and aroma. Organic caraway seeds are known for their distinctive brown colour and are often used as a flavouring agent in various recipes dishes and beverages. As a natural raw product, caraway seeds contain inherent nutrients and health benefits, including aiding digestion and providing antioxidant properties.

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.
