With pressures on family finances and the need to find greener ways of sourcing food, 2009 is set to be the year of the vegetable garden. More and more people are including fruit and vegetables in their gardens as they experience the superior taste and health benefits of home grown food. But growing vegetables has traditionally needed more experience than picking out plants from a garden centre. Many crops need to be grown from seed, spaced correctly and ‘rotated’ in groups to prevent the build-up of pests or loss of soil nutrients.

It’s hard to find fresh herbs in the winter and when you can, its difficult to use up a full bunch before it wilts or withers, waiting in the refrigerator week after week to be added to the next dish.

But there is such a huge difference between fresh and dried herbs that most cooks feel guilty when they grab the bottle of dried herbs instead. But that’s where Dorot comes in. You will be amazed at just how fresh their frozen cubes of herbs taste!
