Organic Quinoa
Organic quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a light, fluffy, edible seed that feels and tastes more like a grain.
Thanks to its mild, somewhat nutty and irresistible flavor, organic quinoa is an immensely popular
food. But this "mother grain" is also valued for its tremendous nutritional content.
Pine Nuts (Pignolias)
A deliciously fresh pine nut ideally used in baking, cakes, cookies, salads and pesto sauce.
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Great for cooking, but better watch out because you may eat these moist and soft sun dried tomatoes as soon as you open up the package!!!
