Ever get frustrated because you couldn't find an ingredient for a recipe?

We find and sell every imaginable spice. IF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT YOU WANT LISTED ask! We have many spices, all nationalities and will make what you want if you don't see what you desire.

No wonder we have been featured in National magazines.Sunset,Saveur and Food Network Magazine called about our mushrooms, Cook's Illustrated twice, Chef's Magazine for the Trade, Gourmet, Better Homes and Garden's Christmas web-site '07 and now KPLU public radio. Because we do not advertise we are very greatful and proud. Word of mouth is the way to go in order to keep our prices down, down, down. We listed our inventory without prices because the prices fluctuate every week, so ask if you are interested. There is no minimum order.

We search for ethnic cooking tools as well. wok scrubbers, coconut shredders,authentic woks and many, many mortars and pestles stocked in the store. ask. We finally found salt cellars and tiny spoons.the perfect gift to go with our salts. We have wonderful salt and pepper grinders as well, lifetime guaranteed! We have a good selection of spice jars and labels.

We mail order everywhere and sell WHOLESALE to restaurants with NO MINIMUM! Why? I had a restaurant for 20 years and resented min. orders. We sell the finest dried wild mushrooms, mushroom powders and infused exotic oils.

Shipping charges ground only additional for airmail. We use UPS or Priority mail only for shipping. We accept Mastercharge and Visa and refund you for your purchase if you are not satisified.

When you get your order expect to see our award winning packaging. We pack with sterilized MOSS from the Pacific N.W. rain forest and use a pine cone to hold our card. We do not believe in plastic "popcorn" that cannot be recycled. The moss is costly for us and you can use it for decorative purposes.

I hope we can help you. IF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT YOU WANT LISTED, JUST ASK! PLEASE!!
