Good morning! We hope that everyone had a Happy Easter with friends and loved ones! The weather certainly made for a lovely long weekend. We'd also like to apologize for there being no newsletter sent out last week; Jon was down and out for the week with a nasty flu-bug and wasn't able to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) but he's back in action again and feeling much better!
Our first new product to tell you about is produced right here in Victoria! From The Earth Organic Curry Powder is a nine ingredient (peanut, chickpeas, sesame seeds, rice, almonds, cumin, coriander, turmeric and paprika), plant-based curry powder that is roasted and ground to perfection! It's handcrafted in small batches to maintain freshness and quality. Check out their website at: fromtheearthcanada.com
It's getting very close to BBQ season. In fact, many of you have probably fired up the grill once or twice already this spring. And if you're a fan of the esteemed hotdog, you're going to want to dress it up with Suzie's Organic Dijon or Suzie's Organic Spicy Brown Mustard. It's the classic, essential mustard for your family's table. Go ahead, put some mustard on it. Your dog will love it!
A lot of people dislike using flouridated toothpastes for a variety of reasons. Usually, in addition to flouride, there are certain ingredients that many would rather not put into their mouths. If you happen to be one of those people then My Magic Mud Whitening Toothpaste might be something worth investigating. It cleans, polishes and whitens your teeth without flouride, sodium lauryl sulfate or glycerin. What it DOES contain is bentonite clay and activated charcoal! That's right, it's jet black! You actually whiten your teeth with a black paste! But if toothpaste just isn't your thing you can brighten your pearly whites with My Magic Mud Turmeric & Cacao Tooth Polish. It also contains no flouride, SLS or glycerine and also uses bentonite clay. And apparently, both of these products are great for people with sensitive teeth!
If you're trying to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet then you know how difficult that can be. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing that you can actually eat anymore, and sweet treats are definitely out of the question. Except maybe they're not! Smart Sweets Gummy Bears (in fruity or seriously sour varieties) are naturally sweet candies that are low in sugar (only 2 grams per bag) and high in fibre (24 grams per bag). And they're Canadian made! Did we mention that they're gluten-free? What's not to like about chewin' these bruins? Kick sugar, keep candy.
KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. That should be the slogan of Chickapea Pasta because their Organic Chickpea Lentil Shells & Cheese and Spirals & Cheese contains only two ingredients (chickpeas and lentils). Both are high in protein and contain real organic cheese! And they're vegetarian and gluten-free!
That's all for this week! Thanks for having a look. Take good care and we look forward to seeing you in the aisles!
