Hartkorn spices – only high-quality spice classifications
A high quality feature of spices and herbs mixtures are the prescribed categories. Each mixture must fit to one of the following categories, which have to be clearly shown on its packaging.
I
spice mixture
consisting of 100 % of spices and herbs
II
spice preparation
Mixtures that consist of at least 60% spices. They may contain other substances that give taste / influence taste or are technologically necessary.
III
spice salt
Mixtures containing at least 15% spices and more than 40% table salt. They may contain other substances that give taste / influence taste or are technologically necessary.
We only use the three highest quality categories I-III.
Here the spice and herb content is highest, the product is therefore natural and full of explosions of flavour. In our assortment you will therefore not find any spice flavour preparations/ salts or any form of spice mixtures. Pay attention to this.
You will not find categories IV-V in our assortment!
IV
flavor preparation
consisting of many flavors instead of spices
V
seasonig mix
consisting of flavours, sugar, flavour enhancers, yeast extract and many other additives
