A word about Copyright and Trademark

Google’s AI Overview says as of 9 September 2026

There is no recorded record of a standalone business or retail brand named “Seeds, Sprouts, & Spices.”
That is why we use the name prefixed with “Joanne’s” to indicate education on a plant-based diet.

If you are looking for a physical store or an online supplier that sells these items,
they are widely available through major organic grocers like WWW.Sprouts.Com
or dedicated online seed and culinary distributors such as MountainRoseHerbs.Com and TrueLeafMarket.Com.

Things to keep in mind when choosing a business name for a website:

The best kinds of graphics to use on the Internet are

⯈⯆ JPG

“The Joint Photographic Experts Group created the standard in 1992, ... JPEG [pronounced jay peg] was largely responsible for the proliferation of digital images and digital photos across the Internet and later social media.” [JPEG files are usually named file_name.jpg or file_name.JPG.]
(Wikipedia JPEG)

⯈⯆ GIF

“The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF; [pronounced ghif or jif]) is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite and released on June 15, 1987. GIF allows for animation.”
[The GIF process is patented, much to the unhappiness of computer professionals; see “PNG”, below.]
(Wikipedia GIF)

⯈⯆ PNG

“PNG (Portable Network Graphics) [pronounced ping] was developed as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).... The PNG working group designed the format for transferring images on the Internet.” [PNG was named for “PiNG Is Not GIF”.]
(Wikipedia PNG)

⯈⯆ SVG

“SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics [pronounced ess vee gee]) is a vector graphics format for defining two-dimensional graphics, having support for ... animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium since 1999.”
(Wikipedia SVG)

Because this website is designed to be accessible to the maximum number of people possible, these are the only four graphic / photo formats that we use.
