    PRODUCT

    We recommend storing your Seed + Stow produce in a cool, dry place. Always ensure the lid is tightly on, and don’t leave the lid off the jar for an extended period. This will help extend the life of the produce. We also recommend keeping the moisture absorber in the jar until you have finished the produce inside.

    Our Seed + Stow Dried Citrus Slices have a pantry life of 9-12 months and our Zest Powders have a 5-10 month pantry life. Each product will have an individual Best Before date listed on its label. By following the storage instructions listed above you can ensure the longest possible pantry life for your produce.

    Yes, we do everything by hand, from sterilising our jars to prepping and slicing the fruit. We use a dehydrator to dry our fruit, using 100% natural drying techniques. As such, each jar is unique, and the natural imperfections you may come across are an indicator of its handmade nature.

    Our Dried Citrus Slices can be used for a variety of purposes, but as mostly commonly used as a garnish in a drink, as decoration on a cake or dessert and on grazing boards.

    Our Citrus Zest Powder can be used as a natural flavour in your cooking, it is really up to your imagination. We enjoy dusting it over seafood, adding a teaspoon through guacamole or even to create a morning tea. For cocktails we also love to mix the dust with either salt or sugar to create a flavoured rim on a glass. See our Recipes page for more ideas and how-to guides.

    Our produce products are all 100% natural lemons, limes or oranges. No preservatives, additives, chemicals or enhancers are used.

    We source 100% Australian fruit, from growers in NSW and QLD. Depending on the time of year, we source our fruit from different areas to ensure we use fresh, in season fruit.

    SUSTAINABILITY

    We operate a plastic free business. All of our produce and jars delivered to us in 100% recyclable cardboard packaging from our manufacturers. Our own packaging and jars are also 100% recyclable, or can even be reused or up-cycled.

    We utilise solar powered hot water systems, and in the future hope to expand our solar powered offering to power our head office.

    We also produce little to no waste fruit, as we utilise unusable fruit slices and off cuts to create our Citrus Powders, ensuring no wastage.
