Farmers Can Raise Spices Now Imported
John A. Sokol of a chemical firm told the Chemurgic conference in Chicago that spices, seeds and herbs once imported from the Orient can be grown in the Western hemisphere. Temperate zone herbs such as sage and marjoram can be grown in the United States, while tropical spices like pepper and cinnamon could be produced in parts of the Americas. He cited examples including mustard seed in Montana and California and paprika in California, Louisiana and South Carolina, asserting U.S. grown products compare well with imports and could reduce foreign supply pressures.
