Vejibag
Specially designed bags for storing vegetables made from 100% U.S. grown and milled Organic cotton fabric and thread. ” It keeps all kinds of humidity-loving perishables fresh, crisp, and tasty for a week or more. Damp cloth bags keep moisture-loving vegetables moist and crisp in a high humidity environment. Moisture slowly evaporates from the surface of the bag to keep both the bag and the vegetables “breathing.” A slightly moist bag keeps vegetables crisp, often several days beyond storage in either a crisper drawer or plastic bag.”
The Organique Co.
High-quality organic superfoods in powdered form. “We source only the highest quality superfoods directly from farmers and cultivators around the world that we’ve met personally. Doing this, we can guarantee the highest quality products while ensuring sustainable and eco-friendly methods being used at the same time. In many cases, the cultivation of the ingredients we use even provides an important alternative to destructive farming and deforestation. By minimally processing our superfoods with methods such as freeze-drying and low-temperature milling, we do our best to seal in maximum flavor and nutritional value without the fillers and additives. Our ingredients are always whole, most raw, and all 100% organic and GMO-free.”

The Philospher’s Stoneground Sprouted Nut Butters
About a year and a half after originally posting this I happened to encounter the creator of this business at the Heirloom Food Exhibition and tasted this almond butter. It is AMAZING. The flavor of almonds is much stronger than usual almond butter and it feels more alive. Way beyond ordinary food,……Spouted almond butters made from organic unpasteurized Spanish almonds sprouted in spring water and sea salt. Finished butter contains only residual salt from the sprouting process. “Sprouting makes almonds sweeter, more digestible, and more nutritious…Our sprouted almond butters feature unpasteurized, truly raw almonds from Spain, which have been grown using dry-farming methodology, a traditional water-sustainable and regionally-adapted approach to almond agriculture. We are the first drought-adapted almond butter company and intend to continue pioneering this path. All of our ingredients are Certified Organic and meticulously sourced. We create gluten-free, peanut-free, sweetener-free, Paleo, raw, and vegan sprouted almond butters.”
Xtrema Cookware
My #1 choice for healthy cookware, these Xtrema pots and pans are 100% ceramic, through and through–made only from natural minerals, clay and water. No metals are in this ceramic cookware. This lead-free high-tech all ceramic glaze is easy to clean and does not leach lead or any other toxic metals (see lab tests on website). The extremely hard ceramic cooking surface cannot be scratched by metal utensils or steel wool but I recommend wood utensils when cooking with Xtrema. Because the ceramic material holds heat exceptionally well, you can save energy by cooking at lower temperatures. The attractive and versatile cookware lets you take the food from the stove to the table and then to the refrigerator for storing leftovers. This is the cookware I use every day for almost everything I cook. NOTE: This cookware is lightweight and extremely easy to clean, however, I wouldn’t call it “nonstick.” Eggs will stick unless you spray your cookware with olive oil after the pan is heated on a low temperature for 3 minutes (see the video on the web site on How to Cook Eggs).
