Dude, have you ever considered the drought that is happening is affecting the quality of the perijil and other herbs. When there is little rain and little irrigation the plants become stringy (more stems than leaves) and long. Perhaps that is more of the culprit than the companies cutting back quality to ofset prices.
If you are so upset with things that you buy, start growing your own. All it takes is a little bit of light and some pots. You then can have an endless supply of FRESH perijil oand other herbs.

@Katie: I hope not!

@giz: Exactly. A little extra here and there is passable. What we have here goes to a whole new level.

@Dan: You know, I think I’ve always seen a few in Oregano but now it’s like half sticks/half leaves. Some are about as wide and hard as toothpicks. I think I’ll switch to a dietetica too.

You know, at first I thought it was me as I started seeing these little sticks and such… “oh, I must never have noticed those before”, but it’s become so obvious (and not just the Dos Anclas brand) that I’ve switched over to buying any dried herbs and spices I get from a local dietetica where they have them in bulk. It’s a little more expensive, but well worth it.

It’s easy to see that they’re adding filler to the mix to make up the weight – it’s all about making more money. Sad…really sad. It assumes the buyer is stupid.

I can’t agree more! This is an infuriating practice by companies. As you pointed out, there are other ways to cut corners besides reducing the quality that consumers have come to expect. Ugh, the new reality I suppose.
