To Starlight,

I wanted to say to you that I bought some of your turkey brine and:
1- it made my house smell SO yummy, I didn't' want to quit simmering it to put on the turkey and
2- My turkey was delicious because of your brine.
Thank you for your amazing products.

To Starlight,

I wanted to report back on the turkey brine. It was excellent. I couldn't really taste it when the turkey was hot, but it made it really moist. The big flavor came out when we ate it in a sandwich. You could taste the seasoning then. Really gave it a nice flavor. I used half the container for a 20# turkey. Thanks!
Julie DeLong, Boise, ID
Ed. note: We recommend 1/2 tub of brine for a turkey up to 15#, and a whole tub for a larger bird.

To Starlight,

I was introduced to your products by my aunt and loved the few I tried. However, before I order, I wanted to ask if any of your products have any of the following: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), hydrolized soy (or other vegetable) proteins, soy sauce or broth (which contain these items most of the time). I have an allergy to these items. As soon as I know the answers to these questions, I will be placing an order!

I need to get some Breakfast Sausage seasoning right away. Kelly, the butcher at Albertson's, told me you have the best there is.

I bought some of the toasted garlic salt at the farmers market in Eagle. We LOVED it and it went quickly (in about two weeks).

"Florence has expanded her offerings considerably, and now seems to offer more than McCormicks. Earlier this year at the Boise Flower & Garden Show, we bought shaker jars of her NO Salt Seasoning and Idaho Mountain Blend ($6.00). If you're a hunter and like to make your own sausage, she makes 3 oz. tubs to put the spice in Italian or Sicilian Sausgae, and even Sage & Savory Sausage. Gift Crates are also available. All products are grown without chemicals or pesticides."

"My wife suggested this recipe (for trout). Put some sliced lemons in the cavity with pepper and Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt by the Starlight Herb & Spice Company. It was pretty tasty and foolproof. We did the same recipe for a steelhead a few weeks ago and both meals turned out perfectly."

"I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the generous gift of the spice mix sample & pot holder. You were very thoughtful for including a nice gift, and your products are so loved here. When I come up to visit my brother and his family in Boise I'd like to see your operation and buy more (spices). I hope you have a fabulous year and I will recommend your products to everyone!"

"I visited your booth at Sawtooth Mountain Mamas Festival...... and I have never had spices of this quality. Little by little I plan to replace all my old grocery store spices and use yours. I do a lot of cooking and appreciate good spices."

"I have known Florence and Starlight Herb & Spice Company for many years. I first was introduced to their product line when they were part of the Meridian Farmers Market. I instantly fell in love with the vibrant aromas of each herb or spice I tried. Amazingly, they keep that same aroma even years later. Even though I have moved to Canada, I will continue to use and promote Starlight's herbs and spices, for they are excellent quality and value. Best wishes in all future endeavors."

"Thank you so much for your quick and thorough response (to my questions). We have been using your seasonings for years, and buying them as gifts for everyone we know. I am so glad to hear there is no MSG in your products! Also, thank you for all the pointers on the salt-free and low salt. I like the Kitchen Sink Blend so well!! I use a lot of it. Thanks again, and I look forward to trying even more of your products! I will tell everyone I know that all of your products are MSG free and there are a lot of salt-free and low-salt options. Keep up the great work!"

To Chef Cordel,

"Oh, thank you, thank you! This is the one! We bought Starlight's Honey Ham Glaze the day of your demonstration just so I could make this wonderful dish...and here I am asking for help at this time, a few months later. But the glaze was terrific on our Christmas shank! I am so grateful and excited to see what your website will include."

"In Spring of 2006 I met Florence & Ron of Starlight Herb Company. It was at the Saturday Farmers Market in the beautiful community of Eagle, ID. I had decided to donate my time to the Market performing culinary demonstrations to feature local products. A strong alliance sooned formed betweem Starlight and myself, a relationship that continues to this day. Their commitment to high quality is apparent in each product they offer."
