Make your own herb pots

Delicatessen salads aren’t just a treat for the taste buds – their packaging can also inspire sustainability! Instead of throwing the empty salad cups away, there are a number of wonderful ways to recycle them. With a little creativity, they can be turned into stylish herb pots for your kitchen, practical storage containers or even attractive home decorations. Perfect for sustainability fans who like to get creative!

With a little paint, paper and ribbon, you can give your empty packaging a new lease on life as pretty planters for herbs. Looking for creative inspiration?

• Wrap some colorful paper, jute ribbon, cord or raffia around your pots and secure them with eco-friendly glue to create a natural, rustic look.
• A colorful centerpiece: Spray with copper or gold paint to create stylish herb planters that look stunning in any kitchen.
• Individual labels: You can label your pots with paper, adhesive chalkboard paper or small signs – perfect if you’re growing a number of different herbs.

Once you’ve got your kitchen herb garden set up, you can pep up your favorite salads with fresh herbs. Basil, parsley, chives and cilantro lend a special note to delicatessen salads.

Our classic potato salad gets next-level flavor with the addition of a few chives or a little parsley. Basil harmonizes perfectly with our Mediterranean antipasti, while cilantro goes particularly well with Levantine specialties, lending a refreshing note to our Bulgur and Couscous Salads.

Upcycling and DIY projects are not just fun – they bring people together, just as good food does. Children and adults alike can join in the fun and turn empty deli packaging into beautiful herb planters in a few easy steps.

So, next time you want to throw your empty deli containers away, try giving them a new lease on life instead! Give your creativity free rein and enjoy the fragrance of fresh herbs in the kitchen!
