spicesTitled as the King of spices! Black pepper is a great antioxidant, is antimicrobial, and helps to care for and heal the gut. With its mild spicy flavour, it can be used as a seasoning in most savoury dishes. Black peppercorns are high in minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, folate and vitamins E, K and B6. Store in an airtight container or pepper grinder in a cool and dry place.
floursFlaxseeds, also known as linseeds, are an excellent source of omega 3 essential fatty acids and a fantastic choice for vegans and vegetarians. They also contain high levels of B-complex vitamins, folate, dietary fibre and protein. They are very good for improving heart health and regulating healthy cholesterol levels. They are a great addition as toppings in yoghurts, desserts or smoothies and work better when they are freshly ground. Flaxseed meal can also be used to make a 'flax egg', a vegan egg replacement used in baked treats, cakes and cookies as it is a fantastic binding agent. To make use 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of warm water and let sit for 10 mins. This ratio is equivalent to one egg, so double the quantity per egg in your recipe. Store flaxseeds in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place.
herbsOregano is a herb from the mint family and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Greek and Italian. With a flavour balanced between sweet and spicy to bold and earthy, you'll often find it in tomato-centric recipes including pizza and pasta sauces, such as Napolitana and Bolognese. It is commonly combined with olive oil to create flavourful oregano oil. Oregano is high in anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce oxidative stress and free radicals in the body. Store in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
herbsMade from an inactive toasted yeast that is fortified to provide a source of Vitamin B complex and protein. With a cheese-like flavour, it's a great vegan-friendly seasoning, providing great nutrition. Add a tablespoon or two to creamy sauces for extra flavour or sprinkle on top of your pasta instead of Parmesan. For more ideas on how to use nutritional yeast flakes check out our website.

spicesPink Himalayan Salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas. It is one of the purest salts available and contains a range of 83 natural minerals, which cause the pink hue. Himalayan rock salt has a wide range of uses from everyday table salt, food preparation and presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. This type of salt is naturally organic but since it is over 85 million years old it is difficult to certify it as 'Organic' as modern organic certification is examined from the very beginning of harvesting so it would be impossible in this case, however, we know it is pure as harvesting with chemicals did not exist that long ago. Himalayan rock salt increases hydration, can help balance pH levels (acids/alkalines) and help to reduce acid reflux, prevent and aid muscle cramping, improve circulation and help detoxify the body from heavy metals. Store in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
