Eden Frozen Herb Cubes Review

As a product tester for Kosherscoop.com, I received a shipment from Eden Frozen Herbs and as instructed placed them in the freezer. They sent me five different packs - Parsley, Cilantro, Garlic, Basil, and Dill, I was so excited to use them! I looked for recipes this Shabbos that contained herbs so I could try out as many as possible. I used the garlic in several dishes; easy garlic sugar snap peas, Honey Garlic wings, and salad dressings. I used the parsley and basil in confetti corn and dill in cucumber salad. The herbs were extremely easy to use and tasted just like using fresh herbs. I got rave reviews and it was all eaten up!
