Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

July 27th  2022

SOLD OUT! Sorry

Even though these are sold out, this will give you a good idea of what is to come.

Something deep inside me lights up in the presence of fresh herbs. I am enraptured by them, as well as those who grow and use them. I hope I can inspire you to use more of them.

Fresh herbs have been a symbol of my own artistry and creative spirit since I started growing them in my garden in Eugene, Oregon, in my early 20’s. Not only are they a staple in my cooking, but they have sprung up in every aspect of my life ever since.

My Herbal Roots is the creative manifestation of everything herbal I have experienced along the way, and a projection of all to come. It’s a place for me to share my herbal passion indiscriminately, allowing me to document the herbal moments that light my path, providing a home to pause in celebration and appreciation.

I have been conscious of my own innate passionate streak from an early age. Like many others, I remember coloring outside the lines as a child. What set me apart was the self-confidence I had that couldn’t be swayed by anyone telling me it was wrong. My inner strength carried me forward from the get-go, fearlessly driving me to where and who I am today.

The Summer 2022 – The Fruit Series is a manifestation of my life in Missouri. I hope you enjoy.

Save the date February 23rd. lol. 

It is such a bizarre feeling to set a date for Incas departure into doggy heaven. Everything changes so quickly. Seems@like yesterday I was chasing him through prospect part after he swam jumped the barricade in the lake on the second day of our lives together. I don’t know another dog that has lived so fully of his own will. From Brooklyn to the Hudson valley to Ecuador to California and Mo and now back to ca. I will miss him. Sapa will miss him. He will be missed but I have some time to spoil him and remind him how much he was loved. Yahmina’s coming to feed him popcorn. Luckily we live in a world and in a rate whenever this can all happen in the convenience of my own home. Life is so utterly fascinating in how it moves. I feel good after talking to countless people who say the waiting too long.

As Inca prepares for the big game today - no not the Super Bowl the Crespo Organic Mango Puppy Bowl - he gets inspiration from @killatrav - both in his fancy wild printed bow tie he chose for the day and the fact that he chose to have a date night before the big game (like Travis do with @taylorswift ) with @brewkrug - this morning he’s calm listening to inspirational music and trying to get in good with the ref. 

Don’t miss his big game - his last mango promotion as he’s set for (permanent) retirement in March. 

@crespoorganic for the Crespo Organic Mango Bowl and the Puppy Bowl !

🥭 THE CRESPO PUPPY BOWL! 🏈🐶
❤️ A GAME OF HEART, HISTORY & MANGOES!

Before the fur flies, let’s meet our players:

🏆 Inca the Old Man Pitbull – A true OG from the Bronx (like @jlo 👀), about to retire but still got the moves.

🏆 Milo & Maui, the Red-Headed Rookies – Young, fast, and full of energy.

First we pause before the game ❤️
💛 In Loving Memory – RIP Rocco 🕊️ Forever a Crespo legend.

🔥 Now THE GAME! Inca dodges like a fiberless Ataulfo, but the rookies charge forward—TOUCHDOWN! 🏆 Inca fights back with buttery finesse, but the golden duo is too quick.

🏆 FINAL SCORE: TEXAS TAKES IT!

🐱 Ref Controversy? Was Sapa the Ref bribed? #RefBias or fair game?

🥭 MANGO FACT: Dogs love mangoes! No pit, no peel—just pure #MangoJoy!

🔥 Who’s the real MVP? Drop a 🏆 for Team Mango, 🐶 for Team Inca, or 🦴 for Team Milo & Maui! @crespoorganic

One of my favorite herb combinations is mint and eggs. This was something  I learned in my early days working in the Middle East. 

I can’t imagine eggs without mint. Even my Brooklyn style bagel sandwiches - I add lots of mint. 

Today choosing a 3 mint combo preserving the freshness in the cheese 🧀 

Spearmint, Moroccan Mint and Cuban Mint

Power vs. Force — The Righteous Emergence Collection

www.Shop.Herbal-Roots.com

Awakening | Aligned | Opening | Surging | Verdant | Generative | Collective | Interconnected

Power vs. Force — The Righteous Emergence Collection is spring power. These eight salts and a bonus confectionery sugar are a mirror of spring’s righteous emergence happening in my Healdsburg, California herb garden — and a deeper exploration of power in a world currently saturated in force. This collection copiously shares the garden’s potency and sharpness at every angle — green garlic surging, sweet peas deceptively vigorous, chive blossoms popping, spearmint electric. Erupting, vigorous spring soft-stemmed herbs cut into large, jagged renditions are unapologetic in their strength and textured demeanor.  Parsley, mint, chives and cilantro are used excessively. Whole plant use discovers new powers in pollen, stems, flowers, seeds, shells, and pith — together an orchestra of energy. Winter herbs in their spring peak offer power in softer, fresher versions — rosemary lighter and more perfumed, sage greener and less pungent, marjoram less sultry in youth. These salts are denser, more potent, and brighter than any collection to date; verdant and collective in nature — accessible to anyone willing to cook with the full force of spring.

A special shout out to @valeriageorginags - who makes any of my reels that are any good.

I was born in spring. I am spring power. Each spring I surge. This collection is a result of all surging prior and a reminder to live, lead and love with righteous power —like spring, especially in a world overrun by force……..It’s Aries season. 

The spring herbal salt collection is now live and ready to come into your kitchen or just into your creativity when peruse.

One little magnolia tree in my garden inspired this powerful and experimental offering. Magnolia petals taste of spicy floral, with a lot of ginger notes, tiny nuances of cardamom, clove, and even  citrus. I thought they be perfect melded into one of my custom chais spice mixes and I get worried experimenting with pearl sugar as I had an idea I wanted to put this atop strawberry scones. Sugar, as I have learned, in past experiments is unforgiving so this has evolved as everything I thought or wanted to happen did not. Like most my experiments it sticks the eventual and surprising landing. 

The new collection comes out next week - and the other 7 offerings are salts. 

The collection exploration is about power. Something my Aries self has been exploring since birth.
