Seeds of Change: Seed to Plate Giveaway

by | Jan 31, 2011 | Uncategorized

Being a gardener-foodie-blogger, I was recently given an opportunity to evaluate a few Seeds of Change grocery items. What came as a surprise to me was that Seeds of Change sold products besides seeds!

We have a nicely stocked rack of Seeds of Change flower, veggie and herb seeds at the nursery where I work. It’s our only line of seeds that is 100% Certified Organic.

Included in my gift box was the following:

  • 1 24.5 oz. jar of Seeds of Change Tuscan Tomato Garlic sauce
  • 1 12 oz. jar of Seeds of Change Certified Organic Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce with Bell Peppers & Coconut– “The Medium-Hot Curry Sauce Everyone’s Asking For By Name”
  • 1 5.6 oz. box of Seeds of Change Certified Organic Cuzco Whole Grain Quinoa Blend With Cilantro
  • 2 packets of Certified Organic White Lisbon Bunching Onion seeds
  • A recipe, which I am happy to share!
