Good morning! By now you should be fully recovered from your St. Patrick's Day celebrations with tongues returning to their regular pinkish hue from having drunk all of that green beer. But let's toss in a few facts about St. Patrick's Day just for fun. Did you know that one of the longest-running and largest St. Patrick's Day parades in North America occurs each year in Montreal, whose city flag includes a shamrock in its lower-right quadrant? The yearly celebration has been organised by the United Irish Societies of Montreal since 1929. The parade has been held yearly without interruption since 1824. St. Patrick's Day itself, however, has been celebrated in Montreal since as far back as 1759 by Irish soldiers in the Montreal Garrison following the British conquest of New France.
Our competitors will be green with envy when they see what we have in our ad this week. We have Green Giant (do you see a theme here?) Valley Selections Vegetables 300-500g for the super price of $2.66 each! This is one of many low-priced items in our ad which, by the way, always runs from Tuesday until closing the following Monday.
Kale is one of the most nutritious vegetables that you can put into your body. Per calorie, kale provides more nutrients than any other vegetable on the planet. It’s packed with dozens of minerals, antioxidants and phyto-nutrients including vitamins A ,C and K making it a great choice for fighting inflammation and cardiovascular support. Its Sulphoraphane and endole-3-carbinol content propels it into the ultra-superfood category making kale a must have on your grocery list! That's why we brought in Solar Raw Ultimate Kale Chips! This organic, raw, gluten-free, vegan and delicious product is air dried (in a kitchen powered through solar energy, hence the name!) on a farm in Ontario. That's sustainable agriculture at its finest!
If you're looking to spice up Mexican night at your house then you'll be happy to know that we now offer two traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dishes in a convenient, shelf-stable pouch that can be heated in seconds in the microwave! Chata Shredded Pork Cochinita Pibil and Chilorio can be served in wheat or corn tortillas or in crunchy taco shells. It also makes an excellent earthquake kit item!
If you're thinking about making some tacos then why not add some Rolling Meadow Lite Sour Cream? This sour cream is made from the milk of grass fed ONLY cows of Southwestern Ontario. Farms have less than 100 cattle and are completely antibiotic and growth-hormone free! Happy cows make better tasting milk which is why this sour cream tastes amazing!
Horseradish lovers will be pleased to know that Victoria's own Hee Haw Horseradish has, as Emeril Lagasse likes to say, "kicked it up a notch" by introducing their Redonkeylously Hot Horseradish! This local company wowed the dragons on Dragon's Den and got a deal a couple of months ago and we're very happy to have their product on our shelves! Bam!
Pepper's has a lot of products that are outstanding sellers. One of those is Tazo Chai Latte. And now we have expanded that product line to include Tazo Green Tea Matcha Latte (yet another green reference). A soothing blend of traditional green tea, matcha and natural fruit flavour awaits!
And finally this week, we are excited to offer an exceptionally tasty gluten-free pasta! Garofalo Corn, Rice and Quinoa Pasta has none of the gluten but all of the flavour often lacking in other gluten-free pastas! And it's high in fibre! Give it a try and see if they've created a gluten-free pasta without compromising the flavour.
Until next week, take good care and have a great day!
