I've just learned that herbs and spices can contain heavy metals. For 37 years of marriage I've bought my spices and herbs in bulk, often by the pound, and Covid only enhanced that. I've got plenty on hand, some of them not labelled with any brand. So how do I know which ones are safe? I've started drinking "Golden Milk" with lots of turmeric and several other items in it. Is there any way to know what's safe? I can't toss all this stuff! This finding confirms my plan to grow a bigger garden, and grow as much of my own stuff as possible. Incidentally, the "Simply Organic" brand seems to be one of the best choices and I think it's sold at Target and perhaps also at Aldi! I hope it's OK to post this link.
