Spice up your outdoor experience

No longer does one have to travel the seven seas or ride through deserts on the back of a camel, as in ancient times, to procure the delicious herbs and spices that bring out the flavour in meals.
In modern times, herbs and spices are just a phone call or quick visit away at Crown National Spice World Polokwane, which is the ideal place to find everything needed for preparing the perfect dish, especially outdoors.
To turn any piece of venison into a masterpiece or for the perfect braai, this company sells flavour in many forms including marinades, glazes, spice rubs, sprinkle spices and coatings.
Spices and herbs have been used in food and medication since early salvation and were also valuable as items of exchange and trade. The Bible mentions that in 1 000BC, Queen Sheba visited King Solomon in Jerusalem and offered him “120 measures of gold, many spices, and precious stones”.
Early documentation suggests that hunters and gatherers wrapped meat in the leaves of bushes, accidentally discovering that this process enhanced the taste of the meat, as did certain nuts, seeds, berries, and bark. Over the years, spices and herbs were used for medicinal purposes.
Spices and herbs were also used as a way to mask unpleasant tastes and odors of food, and later, to keep food fresh.
Crown National Spice World Polokwane also specialises in retail and wholesale of sausage casings, home meal replacements, butchery and catering equipment as well as packaging material and accessories.
The personnel are passionate about their business and products, and have many years’ experience in the meat and butchery industry, enabling them to assist in finding the right products to suit each person’s requirements.
