Epicurean Organics Rainbow Pepper Blend Is Colorful, Indeed!
I was excited when I was approached to do a product review for Mountain Rose Herbs, because for one, I like free products (doesn't everyone?), secondly, because I like sharing products that I have personally tested with you, my readers, and lastly (but definitely not least), because I'm a major foodie!
Here are some facts on Mountain Rose Herbs provided via their website:
Here are some facts on Mountain Rose Herbs provided via their website:
- Their products are Certified Organic. All of the ingredients used to create their culinary oils, seasoning blends and vanilla beans are made from 100% certified organic botanicals (without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, GMO's, or synthetic chemicals). Their ingredients are also free from irradiation and chemical sterilization. They are certified organic through OTCO.
- Fairly Traded. Their Good Trade Program goes a step beyond the traditional Fair Trade practices, by allowing farmers full negotiation rights in determining the prices that they receive for their harvests.
- Support For Organic Work. For each purchase that is made of each Epicurean Organics Seasoning Blend, Mountain Rose Herbs will donate 2% of the retail price to the Organic Farming Research Foundation.
- They use Recycled Materials. Mountain Rose Herbs is a Zero Waste Company. My package arrived in a small box (made from 100% recycled paper) that contained shredded newspaper as packing material. I also noticed that all of the printed materials that came with the shipment were printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper. Kudos to them!

Now, on to the review...
I was sent a 1.5 oz. bottle of the Epicurean Organics Rainbow Pepper Blend which consists of 100% certified organic blend of black, white, pink and green peppercorns. I am a big fan of pepper, so it didn't take me long to put this to use. I used it when making scrambled eggs (yum!) and it not only added a nice kick in flavor, but lovely splashes of color as well. I also used it on pizza, instead of my normal crushed red pepper. I actually favored this rainbow pepper blend over my normal crushed red pepper because it added more flavor, yet still had a hint of spiciness, even though not as spicy as the crushed red pepper. Hey, I'll take more flavor over spiciness any day!

I would definitely recommend this spice to those who love pepper, are environmentally-minded and appreciate a good product for a reasonable price. The current price for the 1.5 oz. bottle is $5.50, but they also sell it in bulk (1 lb. is only $26.00).
Full Disclosure: The product in this review was sent to me free of charge, however, I was NOT compensated for this review. For more info. on this and other products, please see below.

I love doing product reviews. I like being able to recommend products based on experience, rather than just suggesting. Happy Friday!
