Sulphur
Free
Herbs |
Sulfites and
more recently chlorine and aluminum phosphate have been used to keep
herbs from spoiling during shipping, to increase shelf life, to inhibit
microorganisms during processing and to brighten the color of herbs. We
became disenchanted of herbs tasting sour from the added sulfites and
concerned over the growing use of preservatives and their potentially
harmful side effects.
Our herbs are free of Chlorine, Aluminum Phosphate and Sulphur |
|
Processing & Packaging |
| Strict traditional
guidelines for the correct processing of herbs (frying, baking,
steaming, etc.) to ensure effectiveness and decrease side effects.
Our herbs are not irradiation or ethylene oxide sterilization is
used at any stage of processing. Some herbs are sterilized with heat
or special high-pressure alcohol steam. Following sterilization
process the herbs are oven dried. . This sterilizes the herbs a
second time and ensures our herbs are well dried. Drier herbs help
prolong shelf life without preservatives and are lighter, giving you
more per pound. In contrast, sulfur keeps herbs moist without
rotting so regular commercially available herbs can contain extra
moisture and sulfur yielding up to 15% less herb per pound. To help
prevent spoilage bags are vacuum pack the herbs after drying, then
inject the outer package with harmless nitrogen to further inhibit
the growth of aerobic molecules and molds. |

Cleanliness and Hygiene |
| You will find
that our Plum Flower®
Brand bulk herbs are exceptionally clean. Our bulk herbs are
subject to a very careful grading and sorting system. We
hand-sort most of our herbs to make sure there is no extraneous
matter, soil, powder, pebbles or dust in the herbs you buy.
Herbs are carefully monitor for impurities. Herbs
are test for non-permitted pesticides and heavy metal levels.
Herbs in vacuum packed double bags, further protecting them from
damage, dust and filth during the shipping process. |

Shelf Life and Freshness |
| Plum Flower®
Brand herbs have a shelf life of 24-36 months. In contrast
commercial sulfured herbs look unchanged 5 to 6 years or
longer after purchase, making it difficult to tell how fresh
they truly are. The sulfur also acts as bleach, covering
bruises and other signs of decay. Without preservatives our
Plum Flower®
Brand -sulphur free herbs reveal their freshness and quality.
From the fields to your place of business, we make every
effort to provide the cleanest, safest, freshest and highest
quality Chinese herbs available today. |
