While dining at a local restaurant, Dr. Cowan observed chefs using vegetable powders as seasonings. This moment sparked their vision to develop natural powders using the abundant vegetable diversity from their farm. Thus, Dr. Cowan’s Garden began to flourish. To maintain the freshness, nutritional vibrancy, and potency of their products, Dr. Cowan and his team embarked on a journey of trial and error. They sought a storage solution that would protect the powders’ qualities without relying on chemicals or preservatives. Their search led them to the discovery of UV Defense Jars. After conducting tests with cherry tomatoes, they became convinced of these jars’ effectiveness in preserving the products’ integrity. Dr. Cowan explained, ‘We picked two tomatoes from the same branch of one of our cherry tomato plants. After a few minutes, we put one of the tomatoes in a clear glass jar and the other in a small UV Defense Jarsglass jar. After about three and a half months, here were the results. The tomato in the UV Defense Jars showed far fewer signs of aging.’ Inspired by this experience, they now recommend using the powders within five months, with three months being the optimal timeframe.
