Adzuki Beans
Dried adzuki beans are a small dark red oval bean approximately 5mm in diameter. They have a very distinctive white ridge along one side. Adzuki beans have a strong, nutty, sweet flavor. They are popular in Asia.
Barley
All natural medium pearled barley is a member of the cereal grain. Oprah calls barley a Super Food! It is high in protein, fiber, Vitamin B6 and phosphorous. Not only is barley a low glycemic grain, it is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps the body metabolize fats, cholesterol and carbohydrates, and lowers blood cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber commonly called "roughage", promotes a healthy digestive tract and reduces the risk of cancers affecting it. A recent study has shown that eating whole barley can help regulate blood sugar for up to 10 hours!
Barley is excellent in breakfast cereals, soups, stews, as a rice substitute in risotto, and even in bread.
Sage
Sage has a wonderful aroma and taste. Sprinkle on salads and in soups. Sage has some anti-inflammatory properties that may play a role in helping arthritis, atherosclerosis and asthma.
Sea Salt
Fine grain sea salt is obtained by the evaporation of seawater. It is the perfect substitute for plain table salt. Packed with minerals, this fine grain sea salt is known for its better taste and texture than table salt.
Wheat Germ (Raw)
All natural raw wheat germ. Perfect for baking or toasting on your own to make a breakfast cereal. Packed with iron. Sprinkle on breads, cereals, and in smoothies.
