Fortisalt
Make food better with FortiSalt! Turns your food into a dietary supplement that helps compensate for the lower levels of minerals in many modern diets. FortiSalt™ is an innovative, new, patent-pending dietary supplement, which is is designed to add broad-spectrum essential minerals and trace minerals in nutritional amounts easily and consistently into the diet through food. It tastes salty, but better. When added to food, it does not necessarily taste like better salt, but more like salt on better food.
FortiSalt achieves its complex gourmet salty flavor using whole balanced sea minerals with a broad range of nutritional salts. It was designed to not only provide great flavor and sodium reduction, but to also dramatically improve the essential mineral nutrition value of foods.
In June 2011 FortiSalt received the prestigious Superior Choice Award from the International Taste and Quality Institute (iTQi) in Brussels, Belgium. This year, more than 1,000 companies entered, but only a few hundred were selected! This award is extremely sought after by many large, global food and beverage companies.

Quantum Greens
$85 for 227gm

Quantum Greens
Sometimes it's hard to find a green drink that doesn't have soy in it. But this product contains only grasses, algae and noni.
Cereal grasses are a rich source of chlorophyll, called the great detoxifier, which helps purify and build blood. Grasses also contain a large array of phytonutrients and antioxidants.
Quantum Greens contain a wide range of bio-available, naturally
occurring minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, and other nutrients, and can help keep
the body alkaline.
Ingredients: Three, potent “beyond organic” South American grasses: barley grass, oat grass and wheat grass. This grass mix is then blended in a base of grade 10, synergistic herbs: wild-grown blue green algae (low-temperature/air-dried), Grade A Japanese Chlorella (broken cell wall process), grade 10 Noni (Morinda citrifolia) from India.

Quantum
Nutritional Flakes
Ingredients:
Primary Grown Nutritional Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Quantum Nutritional
Flakes are a source of extra protein for vegetarians, containing 18 amino acids, including
good amounts of lysine and tryptophan. They are rich in B-complex
vitamins, especially helpful for stress reduction and contain 15
minerals.
In
the Superfoods chapter of Nourishing Traditions, Sally Fallon says:
"Dried nutritional yeast is an excellent natural source of
B complex vitamins (except for B12) plus a variety of minerals.
Look for yeast that has been processed at low temperatures. Yeast
does not contribute to candida as has been claimed— candida
feeds on refined carbohydrates, not yeast. The late eminent physician
Dr. Henry Bieler treated many cases of chronic fatigue with yeast
supplements."
Sprinkle
1 or 2 teaspoons over any food to impart a rich, hearty, nutty-like
flavor.

Apricot
kernels
A whole
food source of laetrile, also known as vitamin B17.
Some
people eat apricot kernels, in conjunction with a whole food diet,
as part of a natural cancer treatment protocol. If you're one of
them, we recommend that you take up to a maximum of one kernel per
5kg bodyweight, per day, in split doses, eaten whole.
New
Zealand grown, from Otago. The apricots aren't organic, but the
kernels have been tested and found residue free.

Stevia
liquid concentrate
$12

Nirvana
Stevia Liquid
A
natural, no calorie, no carb alternative to sugar and artificial
sweeteners
•
Much sweeter than sugar (2-3 drops approx = sweetness of tsp of
sugar)
• No known side effects
• Organically grown in South America from Stevia Rebaudiana
Bertoni plant
• Great for weight management and blood sugar levels
A healthy
person on a traditional diet can eat small amounts of natural sweeteners
such as honey, maple syrup or dehydrated cane juice with no problems.
But
with some health conditions, such as diabetes or candida, all sugars
have a detrimental effect. Instead of artificial sweeteners, try
stevia.
Unlike
sugar, stevia doesn't trigger a rise in blood sugar levels. You
don't get a sudden burst of energy followed by fatigue and the subsequent
need for another “fix”. Studies suggest that stevia
has a regulatory effect on the pancreas and could help stabilize
blood sugar levels in the body.
Stevia
is the recommended sweetener for BED (Body Ecology Diet) and many
low carb diets. Although stevia is not technically allowed on the
SCD and GAPS diets, many people choose to have it instead of honey,
and find it successful.
This
is an alcohol free, highly concentrated liquid stevia. Nirvana Stevia
Liquid Concentrate uses only organically grown Stevia extract, which
has been extracted without the use of chemicals then carefully blended
with distilled water and the most natural preservatives available
(ascorbic acid and potassium sorbate). High quality Stevia extract
does not have the grassy or slightly bitter after taste that has
been reported with the use of some Stevia.

Reilly's
Peanut Butter
Yes!
Now you can buy peanut butter made to traditional principles. One
less job to do yourself.
Organic
red skin peanuts are soaked, slow roasted, then turned to peanut
butter. The only other ingredients are sea salt, raw honey and organic
coconut oil. It's packaged in a glass jar, and you can buy 400ml
of pure taste pleasure for only $9 (or sometimes it comes in 500ml jars for $11).
This
is peanut butter you can eat off the spoon for a quick snack. Even
people who turn up their noses at supermarket peanut butter fall
in love with this product.
As
well as all the usual peanut butter uses, try this recipe for Chocolate
Peanut Butter Slice:
Melt
together 200g Zenian coconut oil, 3 Tbs honey, 1 pot peanut butter
and 3 Tbs cocoa or carob powder. Add any extras you fancy, such
as dried fruit or extra nuts. Line a Swiss roll tin with baking
paper, pour in the mixture and set it in the fridge. It's not transportable,
but any time you're at home and need a snack, break a small bit
off. It's very sustaining, but with the Zenian oil, it's also stimulating.
By special request, Reilly makes some jars without honey just
for us.

Almond Brazil Butter
We
now have stocks of Almond Brazil butter made by the same method.
If
anything, it is even more delicious than the peanut. Though some
people still love the peanut butter best. In our house, we always
have a jar of each ready for instant snacks.
Try
cutting an apple in half, cutting out the core and filling it with
almond brazil butter. Yum!
Also available honey free.

Raw
cacao (cocoa) powder
The
Peruvian producer of this product has perfected a technique that
makes truly raw organic cacao powder.
It
allows for maximum digestion and antioxidant absorption. It has
a delightful, full, antioxidant-rich chocolate flavour.
Dark
chocolate has been touted as a source of antioxidants, but this
raw cacao powder is way beyond that. ORAC antioxidant laboratory
analysis confirms that there are over 25,200 ORAC units in a single
spoonful of Raw Cacao Powder!
Users
say "This tastes better than any other cocoa powder I've ever
tried and stays mixed better as well."
The
Chocolate Peanut Butter Slice recipe above
tastes even better made with this powder. |

Raw
organic cacao (cocoa) butter

Loving Earth Sour Cherries (100gm)
Dried sour cherries are rich in anthocyanin-type antioxidants (flavonoids) - two to three times more than sweet cherries.
They are one of the few good food sources of melatonin, an antioxidant produced in the pineal gland which regulates the body's circadian rhythms and sleep patterns. Sour cherries contain 13.5 nanograms (ng) of melatonin per gram.
They have been a folk remedy for the pain of arthritis and gout. They contain the highest concentrations of two unusual phenols called anthocyanins 1 and 2. These rare anthocyanins block the same inflammation-inducing enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibited by aspirin, ibruprofen and newer “COX-2-inhibitor” analgesics.
A study from the University of Michigan found sour cherry-enriched diets significantly lowered blood triglycerides and total cholesterol, fasting glucose and insulin, and a plasma marker of oxidative damage, while slightly raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol and significantly elevating blood antioxidant capacity.
They may have the potential to reduce the risk of several cancers, because of the flavonoids and also because they’re rich in a phytonutrient called perillyl alcohol (POH), related to the limonenes in citrus fruits.
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy them straight from the packet. Add to trail mix. Add to yoghurt, juice or smoothies. Soak in cold water in a jar in the fridge to soften & make them easier to chew.
Ingredients: organic dried sour cherries, organic sunflower oil to prevent them sticking together in clumps.
The serving size on the packet is 25gm, but we think 12-24 cherries (about 5-10gm) is an adequate serve. Nutrition Info per 10gm:
- Energy ~ 138 kJ
- Protein ~ .5 gm

Ingredients
for baby formula
We
have had enquiries about availability of the ingredients needed
for Sally Fallon's milk based baby formula.
We
stock:
At
this stage, we're not stocking most of the others, but we can tell
you where to get them.
The
recipe is available online at the Weston
A Price foundation website or click here
to download a pdf document with recipes and FAQ about feeding babies. |
| May 2011 - We know of someone who bought a Formula "kit" (a starter kit of everything) and now doesn't need it. If you're interested, email us, and we'll put you in touch with her. |
Acerola
powder
We
have Camu camu powder,
which Sally says is fine. This has about three times the vitamin
C as acerola, so reduce the dose accordingly. Or Lifestream now
have Acerola powder.
Yeast
We
now stock Premier Research Labs Quantum Nutritional
flakes
Lactose
Until recently, the best option was to buy directly from overseas from
Organic Pharmacy in the US or Green
Pastures Australia for example. But we now have available lactose from NZ. This was bought in bulk by a NZ mum and packed into 500gm bags in commercial premises, and we're selling it on her behalf. Email us for more info.
Sunflower
oil
Your
local health food shop should be able to supply an organic, cold
pressed oil.
Gelatin
We hope to have some Bernard Jensen brand gelatine in stock before the end fo the year.
Bifidobacterium
infantis
Commonsense
Organics in Wellington can source Natren Life Start powder for you.
So your local health food shop should be able to do the same. If
they can't, it's available online from www.probiotics.co.nz
Email
us if there is anything else you're having trouble sourcing.
