Welcome to the home of Greek organic herbs

Exposure to pyrrolizidine alkaloids  increased greatly. In collaboration with our farmers, we pay great attention to this topic ...

​

... everything starts in the field.

 

In organic fields, the weeds are weeded and not, as usual, with  Plant remedies eliminated. And these weeds can contain PAs.

​

It is up to the grower to identify weeds in good time that are native to his growing region and to weed them meticulously at the right time before harvest. This is manual work.

​

It can therefore happen that an entire field of herbs or spices is contaminated with PAs due to individual PA plants that have been accidentally harvested.

​​​

The harvested crop also needs to be selected again before further processing and drying, the famous needle in the haystack must be found!

​

Expensive PA analysis for herbs will be in the future
may also be necessary - for the smallholder this means additional costs.
