What's th difference between Between the lavender flowers and the culinary grade?

Culinary grade means that it is safe to consume (no harmful chemicals, etc.). Any lavender buds can be anywhere from very, very light green/lavender to very bright purple....and depending on the variety of buds (English, French, etc.) can vary in strength of fragrance.

I ordered both back in may and one was lavender and one was tea tree. It looks to me as if the web page is incorrectly designed and should be corrected

i actually own both. the difference, i believe is in their shape. the cheaper one has a wider circumference and lower height. this, i find, lends itself to cooking vegetables, such as ratatouille, while the other is better for dishes in which you do not want the sauce to evaporate too quickly. the smaller diameter helps in that. i was once trying to cook something in the wider flatter pot and the recipe started with making the sauce. as the pot was wide and a larger portion of it exposed to the heat, the sauce burnt rather than cooked evenly as it would have in the other pot. i enjoy both of the pots, as well as the many others i own, but have learnt through trial and error when to use each pot. i hope tho is helpful.

You need to ask the seller..l bought them and they arrived quickly and smelled delicious. Apparently food grade quality. Mine came with recipes. I make sachets - I never used them any other way.

this is cooking lavender and might not be what you want. it's less strong in aroma.

I believe that it is a mixture of some of the basic scents. For instance, one may have cinnamon, lavender and lemon in it. This isn't a specific scent, only an example.

Both have good flavor. I just think the flavor of Gravy Master is better. I've given up on the small bottles and have started buying the 28 oz size. I bought both Kitchen Bouquet and Gravy Master and give the KB to my sister. I always used GM in my early married years and I still like it best.

It means it's all oil extracted from the lavender plant. No thinning it with water or carrier oils.

I use culinary lavender in baked goods so I want just the individual lavender buds - no stems, leaves, or outer husk. I normally purchase my culinary lavender from a local farm during harvest but was excited to see this amount for such a great price, and I am out. My bag (purchased February 2014) has a lot of stems and leaves. I will be able to use it for lavender sugar (sifting out the lavender before using the sugar in baked goods or lemonade) and lavender simple syrup, but not in anything where you leave the buds in the product like shortbread, etc.

It is grade B which is actually the better richer flavor. I would buy this again in a heartbeat !!

What I read was A is for cooking but B is great for making vanilla extract...you can use A beans but won't make it any better...A is plumper but B are good too

Sorry, we used the lavender for my daughter's wedding. We threw it at the end instead of rice, so I have no idea how long the fragrance would last.

I have the Lemon Verbena scent. It's smell is clean, slightly lemony. I have not smelled the lavender/geranium kind.

Not sure if any different other than some fragrance they add to it...maybe try both and see which you like better?

Lavender & Sage has a brighter, slightly stronger scent. I would have gone with the Cedarwood, except my son was there when I was smelling the store testers and he insisted the Lavender one smelled good and the other one did not. :-)

I think grade B is darker and has more nutrients than grade A. I love this syrup and no longer can buy Aunt Jemima and Log Cabin A. They taste fake to me now.

They explain food grade and therapeutic grade at the bottom of this page on the NOW website: http://www.nowfoods.com/Personal-Care/Quality/100925.htm
