Taste Test Tuesday: My Favorite Find - Frozen Diced Fresh Herbs

I love using fresh herbs in my cooking but I don't love having to run out to the store to get them (because they aren't something I always have in my kitchen) and I don't love paying top dollar for them either.

Then I found these cute little 1.75 ounce boxes of frozen diced herbs at Whole Foods Markets. They are a product of Italy and imported by a company called White Toque, Inc. They had all sorts of different herbs, but I decided to pick the ones I thought I would use the most first and see how that went.

I bought a box each of:

• Frozen Diced Parsley
• Frozen Diced Basil
• Frozen Diced Chives
• Frozen Diced Shallots
  

They have been working excellent in everything I've added them to. My only problem is remembering that they are there! I particularly like that they are already diced and chopped so all I have to do is dip my measuring spoon in the little box (after opening the handy dandy flip up lid) and I'm good to go.

Fresh herbs (and shallots) and all the flavor and nutrition they provide, but as convenient as dried herbs! The price wasn't unreasonable either as I remember.

It's a win, win, win!
