EHL Ingredients has launched eight new organic blends inspired by flavours from the Americas, the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Great Britain.
The new products – five seasonings and three stuffing mixes – are the first in a series of organic additions to EHL’s portfolio, released in time for Organic September. The blends include barbecue, Mediterranean style, pepper, lemon and herb, Caribbean style, and spicy Mexican blends that can be used as a marinade for meat, sprinkled over vegetables or added to burger mixes, coatings and breadcrumbs.
EHL has also developed organic onion and mixed herb; garlic, tomato and herb; and sultana, lemon and mixed spice stuffing mixes to add flavour and texture to traditional roast dinners and Mediterranean-style dishes.
According to The Soil Association, year-on-year sales of organic products increased by 4% last year and shoppers spent an extra £1.4m per week on organic products.
EHL Ingredients sales director Tasneem Backhouse said: “Our conventional ingredient blends are performing well since their launch last year and, following customer demand and several months of research and development, we are now able to offer a selection of these popular organic herb and spice blends and mixes.
“We’re aiming for our organic blends to provide inspiration for food manufacturers to create end products to meet market trends and consumer demand for quality, international organic dishes, especially in the run up to Organic September.
“We’re delighted with the continued growth of our organic ingredients and products and we put our success in the organic arena down to several key factors – health benefits, an increase in consumer awareness, education on organic foods and healthier eating, and the consistent high quality of our products.
“It’s important for food manufacturers to stay one step ahead and use popular, quality organic products that consumers will love and buy time and again.”
