Reviews of Mountain Rose Herbs
A site of spicely delights!
I'm very happy that I have found Mountain Rose -- they have a strong commitment to organic agriculture and everything on their site seems to be organic. They also support students -- if you are studying herbal medicines, you get a discount!
I was able to save money by comparing the prices and availability of organic products on Mountain Rose & San Francisco Herb & Natural Food Co. Both websites offer a wide selection -- and the customer service at both businesses is really top notch.
What to do with a whole pile of spices? Make your own Indian and African foods! Check out the recipe on page 152 of "The Artful Vegan" - we adapted that Wat (an African stew) recipe at a Millennium class to use tempeh instead of fava beans, you serve it with a spicy carrot-chile chutney (or use beets or kumquats) and teff cakes.
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 (1/2 inch) cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/4 tsp hulled cardamom seeds
1/4 tsp ground whole nutmeg
2 whole cloves
Toast the spices over medium until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Put in coffee/spice grinder until fine.
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 red onions, small dice
2 tsp olive oil
Next, saute garlic & onions until they begin to caramelize. Then add the spices and the following ingredients:
1 carrot peeled/diced
1 (1/2) piece fresh ginger peeled/minced
1/2 tsp spearmint tea
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Cook until carrots are just soft; add 3 c. chopped assorted wild mushrooms (morels, chanterelles, black trumpets). Saute 5 min until the mushrooms lose their water.
In a separate pan, crumble and brown 2 lb tempeh. Add 2 tbsp, 1 c veggie stock & tempeh to onion/mushroom mix & simmer til thick.

Evironmental Stewards & Purveyors of Organic Botanics
What impressives me about Mountains Rose Herbs, is their complete dedication to maintaining the highest level of environmental stewardship, fair trade and acquisition of certified organic products. MRH is an active member of many non-profit 'movers and shakers' for sustainability and organic agriculture. They recycle, and use recycled shipping materials. Company vehicles are biodiesels. They also offer herbal education discounts to a couple dozen herbal schools, centers and institutes.
Spices , herbs, oils and teas are available retail, wholesale; you can order in bulk. I consistently find their products to be of exceptional quality. It's a 30-minute trip to pick-up my order at their location in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. Sometimes I have my order shipped via UPS. Right now, I have six exotic spice blends en route: Mediterranean, Caribbean, Chinese, Garam Masala, Mexican and their All Purpose Seasoning. Intoxicating aromas. I wish I could make this a 'scratch and sniff' review!
