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

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

$9.50 for 100gm

Out of stock till mid Feb, but will see if we can source elsewhere till then

 

Note that we sometimes only have a small amount in stock. If you want more than about 200-300gms, email us to enquire about bulk.

 

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 for 15ml

 

$19 for 30ml

 

 

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.
 

 

Std peanut butter

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.

Reilly's 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.

 

$26 for 250gm

 

 

Raw organic cacao (cocoa) butter

This is premium quality organic, raw cocoa butter for anyone who wants to make their own chocolate. It makes lovely white chocolate for GAPS patients, or anyone on a sugar restricted diet, especially when combined with the creamed coconut. See Deb's recipe blog for some recipes.

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
  • Fat ~ 0.05 gm
  • Carbs ~ 6.4 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.
