Below are three photos to give you an idea of how much product you will receive in each size package. We filled up each size bag with marbles and placed them next to a quarter to provide a clear representation. There are two different photos, one for standard spices/seasonings and one for herbs. Since many herbs are so leafy the same weight will fill up a much larger bag. This is why some of the herb prices seem a lot higher than the spice prices, but you are actually receiving more product.
The third image is of our 1 cup Bottle with Sifter next to a popular national brand found in most grocery stores. You can see that our bottle holds close to 2.5 times more product than the national brand bottle. Plus, ours often costs less! Please be aware some other online retailers only offer 1/2 cup(4 fluid ounces) bottles. We choose to offer double the size 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) bottles to give you the biggest bang for your buck!
We hope you can see from these images that regardless of which size you order, you are getting a lot of product and a very good value compared to the supermarket.

Apricot Chicken with Grains of Paradise & Saffron Recipe
Grains of Paradise are less pungent than Black Pepper typical to most American kitchens but a bit stronger than White Pepper. They are citrusy and peppery at the same time, which is why we are in love with them at My Spice Sage! One of our staff members discovered through her travels that stews are very popular across the continent of Africa, where Grains of Paradise come from. We thought of some our favorite stewed dishes and loved the idea of paring the fruitiness of an Indian Apricot Chicken dish with our beloved citrusy Grains of Paradise. For the following recipe, you will need a slow cooker. This appliance is a worthwhile investment because it produces tender and delicious meats and poultry with little preparation time required. Prep your ingredients in the morning, throw them in the slow cooker and by the end of the day you will have a delicious gourmet meal that only looks like it was hard to make. Enjoy!
