Good morning! Last week we mentioned that we were about to start carrying the very amazing (and very local) Dumpling Drop products. And since then, we have indeed put three types of their delicious and wildly popular hand-made Dumplings in our frozen food section! Right now there's Pork Belly, Vegan and Shrimp & Chive. And as a compliment to the dumplings, we also have their house-made spicy Chili Oil! Find out why everyone's buzzing about these delectable dumplings and add them to your next order!

Recently we told you about several exciting and new (sounds a bit like the lyrics to The Love Boat theme) items from Adriana's. Well, there's more Mexican food made with love to list and it's not savoury! Think churro but crunchier. New Adriana's Crispitos are the perfect dessert to your taco Tuesday. Crispy, crunchy, sugary and cinnamon-y! Mmmm. Anything deep-fried and coated in sugar is A-OK in our books!
Is it a vinaigrette or is it a marinade? It's both! Yes, new Maison Orphée Vinaigrette-Marinade is equally delicous on your salad as it is on your meat! Available at Pepper's in Italian, Maple & Dijon (their most popular and versatile dressing) and Olive & Balsamic, these Quebec-made vegan sauces are crafted with first cold-pressed oils, are naturally gluten-free and contain nothing artificial.
Have you been searching for the perfect snack or light meal that's low in saturated fatty acids, free of trans fats, rich in fibre, high in protein, low in cholesterol AND contains potassium and iron? You have??Well you're in luck because right now we have three kinds of new Clover Leaf Bistro Bowls! These are shelf-stable and convenient meals featuring tuna and either rice or pasta that are great for lunches, travel or just in case you need something nutritious real quick-like. There's Spanish Medley, Mediterranean Pasta or Mexican Rice. Super convenient, quick and tasty meld together in these 2020 DUX GRAND PRIX Best ‘Facilitating Product’ AWARD winners!
Get back in the "rye life" with new Ryvita (Ry=rye, vita=life) Snackbread, the light and crispy alternative to regular old bread or crackers. As their name suggests, these make excellent snacking fodder and we currently have Original, Pepper and Cheese flavours! But hang on because perhaps Ryvita Thins are a little more your style? Perfect for "dipping, dunking and devouring" these flatbreads are available here in Onion as well as Three Cheese!
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. Those little lambs are missing out because oats are a hot item right now! Seems there's no limit to what they can make with 'em! If you read our newsletters you'll no doubt notice a steady stream on oat products listed. And today there's a couple more! First off is Yoats Oat Yogurt from Yoso, their latest innovation and Canada's first oat yogurt! We thought the company website description said it best so this is what they wrote: Yoats is the latest innovation from Yoso. With Non-GMO Project Verified and certified gluten-free oats, live cultures, and no cane sugar or sweeteners, Yoso has crafted a delicious, creamy Oat Yogurt Alternative that will be available in three flavours, Unsweetened, Vanilla, and Blueberry. Each flavour is gluten-free, plant-based, peanut-free, preservative-free, unsweetened, vegan, and proudly made in Canada, and every 175g serving contains 1 billion cfu of probiotic cultures. Nuff said.
Another kind of alternative to milk is Malk Oat Milk. We told you about Malk Almond Milk quite awhile ago but now they've created an organic, gluten-free oat beverage that contains no gum and is made with only three simple ingredients! It's cold pressed and "the delicious alternative to artificial!"
Lakewood is a not-from-concentrate juice producer whose slogan is "Nourishing since 1935." And we've added Lakewood Organic Beet Juice which is technically a blend because they add only one other ingredient: organic lemon juice. This allows the juice to be bottled without the use of any preservatives. But did you know that the fresh-pressed juice from over 3 pounds of beets goes into every bottle? And it's also pasteurized in case you were wondering. And it's also high in the antioxidant vitamin C. Plus, studies have shown that consuming beet juice can increase exercise stamina while reducing oxygen output. Who knew? Now you do. Oh and it's best to consume within two weeks of opening for maximum freshness.
So there you have it, people. A whole whack of new items for your enjoyment. As usual, please don't forget to look at the attached weekly specials where you'll find some great deals on items from every department. And please make sure to continue to follow the health guidelines for COVID-19. Please follow the arrows in the aisle and practice social distancing while in the store, both towards your fellow shoppers and employees. So until next week stay safe and take good care!
