Frozen Is the New Fresh: Dorot Gardens Rethinks the Spice Rack

Bayonne, NJ (September 2026) – The jar of garlic powder at the back of the cabinet has been there a while. Most home cooks could not say how long, and most would admit the flavor is not what it was when they bought it. As families look for ways to put real flavor on the table on a weeknight schedule, more of them are looking past the spice rack and into the freezer.

Frozen herbs have moved from a specialty item to a working part of the kitchen. They hold their flavor, they portion cleanly, and they do not wilt in the crisper drawer before anyone gets to them.

Dorot Gardens®, the leader in fresh, flash-frozen, pre-portioned garlic and herb cubes, offers home cooks another option, one that delivers the taste of freshly chopped garlic with the convenience of a freezer staple. The brand’s pre-portioned cubes, including Garlic, Basil, Parsley, Ginger, Cilantro, Dill, Turmeric, and Sautéed Glazed onions, let home cooks create chef-inspired meals in minutes while reducing kitchen waste.

The days of tedious peeling, chopping, and measuring are over. Dorot Gardens fresh, flash-frozen, pre-portioned garlic and herb cubes give consumers a quick, mess-free way to add authentic, vibrant flavor to any dish. The unique flash-freezing process locks in fresh taste and nutrients at peak freshness, extends shelf life, and helps reduce food waste caused by spoiled herbs and garlic, all while providing a reliable year-round supply.

Dorot Gardens harvests its garlic and herbs at peak freshness, crushes them immediately, and flash-freezes them into perfectly portioned cubes. There is no chopping, no peeling, and no measuring required.

The brand sums it up in three words: Pop. Drop. Done.® The same idea drives the “Make A Note To Grab Dorot” social media campaign, which shows home cooks how simple it is to bring fresh flavor into everyday cooking while highlighting the convenience, versatility, and time-saving benefits of Dorot Gardens® flash-frozen garlic and herb cubes.

“Our mission is simple—to make cooking delicious meals easy, convenient, and stress-free,” said Michele Abo, General Manager for Dorot Gardens. “Dorot Gardens gives home cooks a simple way to enjoy the fresh flavor of garlic and herbs any time of year, without the prep work. It’s all about helping people spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying great food and great company.”

Celebrity chef George Duran has created some delicious recipes perfect for Back to School and Tailgating, including Dorot Gardens Healthy Sloppy Joes and Smokey Tomato and Garlic Dip, to name a few.

As more families look for ingredients that combine freshness, convenience, and reliability, frozen herbs continue to become a more common kitchen staple.

Dorot Gardens is available in the frozen vegetable aisle at such stores as Winn Dixie, Whole Foods, Wegmans, and Harris Teeter, alongside other Kayco brands such as Mighty Sesame Co.® and Absolutely! Gluten Free® in Publix.
