Burdock (Arctium lappa) is a plant native to Japan that is now found all over the world. The root is eaten as food. The root, leaf, and seed are used as medicine. Burdock contains chemicals that might help fight bacteria and swelling. In traditional Chinese medicine, it’s used to get rid of toxins and as a “blood purifier.” People use burdock for aging skin, stomach problems, joint swelling, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use.

Organic Arrowroot Powder (Maranta Arundinacea)
0 out of 5(0)Botanical Name: Maranta arundinacea
Certified organic
Origin: India
Arrowroot powder (aka arrowroot flour and arrowroot starch) is an easily digestible starch derived from the tropical tuber of the arrowroot plant. Manufacturing involves mechanical mashing of the rootstock into a pulp, separating the starch from its fibrous component by forcing it to through a screen, and finally drying and grinding it into a fine, lightweight powder.
Qualities: Arrowroot is tasteless, won’t change the color of your food, and is neither affected by freezing nor weakened by acidic ingredients. Arrowroot imparts a shiny gloss to foods and will not make your sauces turn cloudy as other starchy thickening agents would. It thickens at a lower temperature than other starches such as flour or cornstarch and is, therefore, less likely to burn. Please note that arrowroot becomes slimy when mixed with milk products and thus Cornstarch is the best choice for thickening dairy-based sauces.
The lack of gluten in arrowroot powder makes it a wonderful addition to gluten-free baking. When baking with nut flours, adding one tablespoon of arrowroot starch to your recipes will help to make your cakes, cookies, and muffins softer and less dense.
Common use: Arrowroot powder can be used as a thickener for sauces, gravies, or puddings, and is well known for producing crystal clear fruit glazes and jellies. It also prevents ice crystals from forming in homemade ice cream!
To thicken with arrowroot, blend about 2 Tbsp of powder with ¼ cup of cold liquid before adding it to a hot liquid (1 Tbsp thickens about 1 cup of liquid). Remember to add this mixture towards the end of your recipe as it should only be heated until it thickens and then be removed immediately to prevent the mixture from thinning. Overheating tends to break down the thickening property.
Arrowroot powder is also commonly used as a base for many body care formulations and is the main ingredient for most body powders.
Substitute: Tapioca starch has similar qualities and can be used as a substitute.
Storage: store in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed container.

Ingredients: organic coconut milk powder, organic maltodextrin (derived from organic tapioca)
Origin: Sri Lanka,
Qualities: Coconut milk powder has the scent of a coconut and a slightly sweet taste. It is produced from the creamy, rich liquid made from the meat of mature coconuts (not the liquid that can be drained out from a coconut that has been punctured). It is high in saturated fat, mainly lauric acid (also found in mother’s milk), along with Vitamins B, C, and E and a multitude of antioxidants. Contains 42-52% fat.
Common Use: Coconut milk powder can be made into coconut milk by simply adding water. Adjust the powder to water ratio depending on the richness of the desired milk. This powder is ideal for recipes that call for coconut milk, such as curries, puddings, baking, ice cream, and it can be added to beverages like smoothies, coffee, or hot chocolate.
Storage: This product tends to clump when compressed or exposed to cold temperatures because of the high-fat content. Store in an airtight container in a dark, cool, and dry location, or in the refrigerator or freezer (well sealed) if buying a quantity that will take more than a month to consume. Clumping is normal and easy to break up when brought to room temperature or dissolved in warm water.

Organic Bee Pollen (Apis Mellifica)
0 out of 5(0)Botanical Name: Apis mellifica
Certification: EU organic*
Origin: Spain
Production: This raw bee pollen was collected from Cistus blossoms (aka Rock Rose). Beekeepers then ethically harvest the pollen by gently removing it from the hives without harming the bees or disturbing their routine. The pollen is carefully dried in the open air to retain optimal nutritional integrity. During the collection process, the pollen is never heated or ground up resulting in an extremely high-quality pollen which is completely natural and raw.
Bee pollen is sometimes called “Nature’s gold”. Just imagine, one teaspoon of pollen takes one single bee eight hours a day for one month to gather! Each bee pollen granule contains over two million grains of flower pollen and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen. Consume mindfully and gratefully!
Bee pollen is considered one of nature’s most complete foods as it contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. Bee pollen is rich in protein (approximately 40%), with easy to assimilate amino acids, and many vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid as well as a multitude of antioxidant flavonoids, such as myricetin, quercetin, rutin, and trans-cinnamic acid.Over the centuries, bee pollen has been appreciated for its many uses:
– general energy booster, enhancing stamina and fighting off fatigue
– cardiovascular support attributed to potent anti-clotting powers and high content of rutin, an antioxidant bioflavonoid that helps strengthen blood vessels and may correct cholesterol levels
– respiratory support due to anti-inflammatory properties which may help with allergies and asthma
– digestive support, as it contains enzymes that can aid in digestion and improve the intestinal flora
– immune support related to antibiotic-type properties and high content of antioxidants that may protect the cells from the damaging oxidation of free radicalsSafety: Bee pollen appears to be safe for most individuals but if you have any pollen allergies, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or use blood thinning medications, please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Common Use: Start with one teaspoon, preferably taken with a piece of fruit, as the fruit fibers (raw hemicellulose) reinforce the activity of the fresh pollen. Increase your intake every day by a few grains until reaching two teaspoons a day (10 ml). For normal daily intake, you may take up to one tablespoon (15 ml), daily. Bee pollen has a slightly sweet, chalky taste and it can be added to smoothies, salads, cereal, or enjoyed in any way, preferably kept raw.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required but recommended.*NOTE: Because of inter-governmental bureaucracy, when organic products with EU organic certification are not imported directly into the USA (imported into Canada first) they are not allowed to be named “organic” even though USA and the EU have an “equivalency agreement” for organic standards.
