The Wonderful World of Watkins Natural Food Products
Everyone can appreciate the excellence of Watkins all-natural food products. Superior food ingredients make a tremendous difference in the taste of a recipe. It can turn a mediocore recipe into a great recipe. I was a skeptic at first, but it didn't take long until I realized there was a big difference in the quality of Watkins spices and herbs compared to other brand names. Now all you'll find in my cupboards are Watkins spices and herbs as well many of Watkins other food products.
Watkins has everything you need for your kitchen pantry. You'll find a wide variety of spices and herbs, snack dip mixes, extracts, dessert mixes, soup bases, grapeseed oils, sauces, beverages and much more. I find the soup bases, dessert mixes and snack and dip mixes all very handy to keep in my cupboard. They are all very versatile.
Watkins has been in business for over 100 years and only settles for great quality products. They back this up with a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

The History of Watkins
Joseph Ray Watkins founded Watkins in 1868 from the kitchen of his home in Plainview, Minnesota. Watkins was so confident in his product, Dr. Wards Liniment, that he introduced the now famous Watkins "Trial Mark" bottle, along with the first-ever money back guarantee.By 1885 the production of Liniment had really grown, so he moved the company to Winona, Minnesota. In Winona, Watkins eventually incorporated his company as the J. R. Watkins Medical Company. His product line expanded to products such as Petro-Carbo Salve, Cathartic Pills, Vanilla, Black Pepper, and Cinnamon.
During the 1890's Watkins opened branches around the country. In 1913 the company opened its first international branch in Winnipeg, Canada, and by the 1940s the company had more than 135 branch offices in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and England.
J. R. Watkins' descendents-Watkins and Kings-guided the company through its first 110 years. In 1978 Irwin L. Jacobs purchased Watkins and his family continues the Watkins' tradition of manufacturing the highest quality products and providing outstanding service that exceeds expectations.

Nice lens. I'm really picky about vanilla. I usually buy whole beans, but the white vanilla looks like a winner.
