Fresh culinary herbs are a rapidly growing category, but with that growth come challenges associated with proper packaging and post-harvest handling. With many herb varieties having different sensitivities, it’s important to understand how temperature, humidity, and packaging affect quality throughout storage and transport.
The Fresh Herb Industry
Poor temperature management or breaks in the cold chain can lead to rapid quality loss, wilting, or microbial growth. Nature-Pack™ understands these challenges and provides eco friendly packaging solutions that help maintain freshness, color, and aroma of fresh herbs during transit and shipping. Fresh herbs intended for consumption can carry microbial hazards if safe-handling protocols are not followed, making proper packaging and temperature control essential. Dried herbs and spices, by comparison, have different requirements and do not rely on the same cold-chain considerations.
