Smart Spice by Evan Orensten
Spices tend to come in a pretty standard size; they also spoil within a few months of opening. For most home cooks that means a lot of waste and jars of stale spices sitting in a cabinet.
Smart Spice solves this problem by packing its organic spices in several single use servings (four to a box), ensuring that you'll always have a fresh supply on hand.
We're typically not fans of over-convenience and packaging, but in this context the method makes a lot of sense. You'll start seeing Smart Spice's organic herbs, spices, peppercorns and seeds in stores in Fall 2008.
