There’s a lot to enjoy while living in the desert and now it’s even easier to share.
Just in time for the season of giving, Desert Provisions — a purveyor of salt, spices, and specialty foods — has put together Holiday Gift Sets for the 2020 season.
Desert Provisions, which started its journey right here in Tucson, sources the ingredients for all of its products from desert regions in the Southwest. For those unaware, the desert has been an important food source for people in the area for more than four thousand years — spanning over parts of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, and Mexico.
“Tucson is the first U.S. city designated as a UNESCO food heritage site, recognized for being the longest continuously cultivated area in the United States,” Desert Provisions said on its site. “We think it’s a pretty special place.”
Take a look at what they’ve got to offer, and perhaps you’ll find the perfect gift.
