Frequently asked questions
-
Air, light and moisture are not good for the quality of your spices. Therefore, store them in a tightly sealed jar or tin that does not let light through (or in a dark kitchen cupboard or drawer). Also, do not store them above your stove, as cooking fumes can then get to them. Make sure that you always transfer spices from a repack into a tightly sealable jar or tin as quickly as possible.
-
The shelf life of spices is primarily determined by the loss of flavor that occurs over time, because otherwise, they generally don't go bad. We use a shelf life of 2.5 - 3 years after harvest. This depends partly on the time of packaging and also whether they are whole spices that you have to grind yourself or pre-ground powder.
Spices in the supermarket have often been on their way for 2-3 years before they are even packaged and then receive a shelf life of another 3-5 years. Primarily use your senses to assess whether they are still good. At some point, there will simply be no flavor left, which would be a waste of a good meal!
-
We do not have organic certification, despite our spices meeting these standards. All farmers work in harmony with nature and without pesticides, but the certification process is unfortunately very expensive. For small farmers, it's actually unaffordable. And we want to show them that it is worthwhile to grow spices sustainably. That there are people willing to pay for a quality natural product and that they don't first have to make a huge, impossible investment in the form of certification.
Some of our farmers do have the certificate, by the way. Cooperatives, for example, can jointly apply for the certification process, making it much more affordable. But to be able to state this on the packaging, our entire chain would also have to be certified, including the Social Workshop where the spices are packaged. This is currently not possible, as they also work for other non-organic producers. So, in short: no, we are not officially certified, but the quality and method of work are at least as good.
-
Single Origin means that a product comes from one specific place. Often, harvests from different places, sometimes even from different countries and different years, are combined. Traders do this to develop the cheapest possible product with a consistent taste. With us, you know exactly where your spices come from, right down to the name of the farmer. This also means that the quality can sometimes vary, as it is a natural product. For example, one year might be drier than another, which can lead to a change in taste. But our farmers always strive for the highest possible taste experience, and you can taste it!
-
We strive to always purchase the latest harvest. Of course, it can sometimes happen that we still have some old harvest in stock while the new harvest is already ready. So we cannot always guarantee that you will get the very latest harvest, but we do aim for it as much as possible. On the packaging, you will find a QR code to a page where you can find out exactly when your spices were harvested and when they were filled into the tins/bags. With this, we aim for complete transparency in our process.
-
We ship to most European countries, but this will, of course, incur higher shipping costs. Do you want to order from a country, but it's not possible? Please contact us, so we can look at the options.

At the Siza Social Workplace, they do their utmost to pack the parcels the day after the order. If it's busy, it might take a day longer. They don't work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so if you order on a Thursday, for example, it will take a bit longer before your parcel is shipped.
Once the parcels are ready, they are collected by De Groene Rijders and delivered by their bicycle couriers in the areas they serve, or outsourced to PostNL. Depending on how busy they are, they also aim to deliver within 1 business day.
