Everything you need to know about Dr. Renga's solar dried herbs
Do solar dried herbs retain their flavor, aroma, and natural properties?
+
Absolutely! Our controlled solar drying process preserves 85-95% of the herbs' essential oils, flavor compounds, and natural properties. The gentle solar drying method maintains the vibrant color, aromatic intensity, and therapeutic benefits while concentrating the flavors naturally.
How long do Dr. Renga's dried herbs stay fresh?
+
When stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in the sealed pouch, our solar dried herbs last up to 18-24 months. Once opened, store in an airtight container and consume within 6-12 months for optimal aroma and potency.
Are any chemicals or pesticides used in growing or processing the herbs?
+
No, never! Our herbs are grown using organic farming practices with zero chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The solar drying process is completely natural with no chemical treatments, fumigation, or artificial processing. From farm to pouch, everything is 100% natural and pure.
Are there any preservatives or artificial additives?
+
Absolutely not! Dr. Renga's dried herbs are 100% natural with zero preservatives, no artificial colors, no flavor enhancers, and no irradiation. Just pure herbs dried naturally using solar energy - nothing added, nothing taken away.
What makes solar dried herbs better than commercially dried herbs?
+
Solar drying uses natural solar energy at controlled temperatures (40-60°C), preserving more essential oils, vitamins, and active compounds compared to industrial hot-air drying or oven-drying methods. It's completely eco-friendly with zero carbon emissions, produces superior-tasting herbs with better color retention, and maintains maximum nutritional value without any chemical processing.
How should I use these dried herbs in cooking and teas?
+
Our dried herbs are incredibly versatile! Add them directly to curries, dals, and soups during cooking. Crush them between your fingers to release maximum aroma before adding. For herbal teas, steep 1-2 teaspoons in hot water for 5-7 minutes. Use in spice blends, marinades, chutneys, or as garnishes. They're more concentrated than fresh herbs, so use about 1/3 the amount.
Which herbs do you offer and what are their main benefits?
+
We offer five premium solar dried herbs: Fenugreek (digestion support, blood sugar management), Coriander (detoxification, cooling properties), Curry Leaves (hair health, antioxidants), Mint (digestion support, respiratory health), and Moringa (nutrient powerhouse, immunity booster). Each herb is carefully selected and solar-dried to preserve maximum nutritional benefits.
