Starwest Botanicals Dried Lavender Flowers Extra Organic - Edible Loose Lavender Buds for Tea, Drinks, Baking, & Cooking, Certified Kosher Herb, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb BagUSDA Organic

Amazing

Excellent quality product.

This brand always has exceptional lavender. I have purchased the blue and this one and neither disappointed. Great for lattes. Soothing strong aroma. Definitely calms and quiets the mind. The fragrance is outstanding and gave some as a thank you gift. My friend couldn’t stop talking about it as she loves making candles and soaps as well as a variety of organic products with it. Worth the purchase. Easy to use in this zip lock bag. Great quality in general.

Starwest Lavender is preserved in a Mylar bag. Mylar bags provide the most effective way to maintain freshness. The best spice stores use Mylar bags to keep spices fresh because they work. The lavender buds of Starwest Lavender are clean from chaff, and they are "food grade" which means you can bake with it or try some fun lavender recipes. They are organic so you do not have to be concerned with toxic sprays which might be on other lavenders. Finally, the first bag I purchased two years ago still had some lavender in it and it smells wonderful. I am making sachets for a charity event. This new bag smells just the same as the first bag. It is fresh, fragrant, and fabulous, and that means it is the best quality you can buy.

I'd like to give a disclaimer for this product:It is organic.I seriously laughed as I went through the bag. I found three snail shells within the first handful, which I thought was seriously cool! I'll be identifying those later, as the bag is from France.I was hoping for more as I went through, but unfortunately, most of the rest of the unexpecteds were thorns and burrs.Going through the bag, I hurt myself several times...Will wear gloves next time.I feel like like I should write a review for each thing I got in this package. This includes:Lavender flowersLavender stems3 snail shells10+ Burrs1 portion of a centipede/worm exoskeleton/skinSome scary trident-looking thorn/thistlesThe Unidentifieds-I'm pretty sure there was a bit of hardened rabbit poo in here- and by a bit, I mean at least 10 pellets-Foxtail weeds?-MANY different types of seeds, no doubt brought by birdsOther than these, I found out when I opened the bag that I'm either slightly allergic to Lavender, or the smell is just that strong from these! I sneezed several times and had an asthma attack while going through these.I've included some pictures showing what you get, how much, and the extras. :)Overall though, there's a very limited amount of things you can do with these, because of the amount of stems included. I'd definitely pay extra for the culinary grade lavender, just because there'd be no stems mixed in, but for bathing products, these are perfect.

I appreciate that the bag was full to the brim. Most times you buy product online it is not so, thus, I am grateful. The lavender smells exceptionally great in the bag and there is a lot in the bag so it should last many months.

I've ordered lavender from a few different suppliers on Amazon, and this is my favourite bar none - I've already worked my way through two bags of it!I make lavender sachets to sell at a charity thrift-shop, and not only is this lavender the best I've found both for long-lasting heavenly scent and price, but I love the fact that it's USDA certified organic, and thus isn't going to have any pesticide or herbicide residue in it. This is especially important if people are going to want to tuck a sachet in their pillow case or the pillow case of an ill or aged loved one, or for use in babies' or children's rooms, or even for use around pets. They're also great to throw in the clothes dryer to give a soft chemical-free scent to your clothes and linens.One pound makes a LOT of little sachets - I also buy bulk organza bags from Amazon which keeps my costs low. But once you start making them, as soon as people smell them they just about walk out the door.I have used a bit for cooking too, once in a lamb roast and once for an ice cream, and that worked out quite well too. If you're looking for bulk lavender flowers, this is the product I'd recommend.

Very fragrant. Amazing value for the amount!
