Gluten Free Corn Starch
Corn Starch is a dense powder obtained from the endosperm portion of corn. It is commonly used as a thickener for sauces, puddings, and such. It tends to form lumps so it is usually mixed with a small amount of liquid to make a paste before using it. Cornstarch is also used in Oriental breading mixtures.
Ground Cinnamon
Ground cinnamon is a widely used spice. It is used in many desserts, chocolate, spicy candy, tea, hot cocoa, and liqueurs. Cinnamon can also be used in pickling.
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.
Walnut Pieces
Delicious and fresh English walnut pieces. Perfect for baking, cooking, or as toppings.
