Harvesting

Organic lavender flowers are typically grown in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Lavender is a hardy perennial plant that is usually harvested in the late summer when they are in full bloom, typically from July to September. Once harvested, the lavender flowers are carefully dried to preserve their natural oils and fragrance. The flowers are then processed to extract the essential oils, which are used in a wide range of products including aromatherapy oils, perfumes, and skincare products. The flowers themselves are often used in potpourri, herbal teas, and culinary applications.

Organic lavender flowers are known for their distinctive purple hue, which adds a visually appealing element to the products they are used in. In addition to their natural colour, lavender flowers are rich in nutrients, including vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as calcium and iron. These natural components make organic lavender flowers a valuable ingredient in various health and wellness products.

The organic nature of Organic Lavender Flowers 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 Lavender Flowers 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.
