The technology they invested in, developed by Swiss food safety company Napasol, uses vacuum and steam to eliminate microorganisms without affecting the color, flavor and fragrance of the spices. That is why Frontier Coop has chosen Napasol technology for treating their organic spices. Frontier Coop Has just commissioned its new Steam Sterilization Unit!

Being able to buy them in the quantity I need, say 1 tsp for a special recipe, keeps me from wasting money on those big glass jars that inevitably go to waste. Because I cook a lot of Indian food, I seem to be going through certain spices more than others: coriander, mustard seed, tumeric. I picked up a couple <a href="http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/masaladabba.htm" rel="nofollow">masala dabas</a> at World Foods and I love them. I store a certain amount in the bowls and the rest in a box in my pantry. I like the fact that I can buy Frontier spices in bulk (or in very minimal quantities) at Foods For Living here in town.
