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.

beans and lentilsHigh fibre and protein legume that is full of antioxidants. Perfect for hummus or hearty salads. To prepare, add the chickpeas to a large bowl and cover with several inches of cold water, then leave to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. As they rehydrate they will triple in size. Once soaked discard the cold water and rinse and transfer to a large pan a cover again with several inches of water then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until they reach your desired tenderness, usually between 1-2 hours. Firmer is better for salad and softer is better for hummus. Store dry chickpeas in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
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.
