See that? That’s the difference between basic air-dried, store-bought turmeric versus fresh freeze-dried turmeric. The one on the right is air-dried. The orange color represents oxidation, and degradation of nutrients. Freeze drying (as seen on the left) retains all the color, aroma, flavor AND nutrition. • Many people are now aware of the copious healing benefits of turmeric. It is invaluable for musculoskeletal support, while also being a potent antioxidant, and providing aid to the liver and digestive system. Our turmeric comes from a beautiful small organic farm in Hawaii (Photo 2!). It is sent directly to us fresh and immediately freeze-dried. Just crack open a bottle and smell - the difference is clear! • We offer turmeric in many different forms: capsules, powder, and liquid extract. We also have a product that contains turmeric + pepper, as studies have shown that the presence of piperine (active constituent in pepper) enhances the absorption of curcumin (active constituent in turmeric). • Do you use turmeric? If so, how does it help you? Leave a comment below!

Our Purple Probiotic is a very unique product. Whereas commercial probiotics are grown on agar plates in a laboratory, ours are made using whole foods. We start by making a big batch of sauerkraut. It's a traditional European recipe that uses no salt. Once it's teeming with healthy bacteria, we freeze-dry it, which preserves the active cultures, and then grind it to a powder and keep it stored in a carefully controlled environment. • We offer this product in two forms: capsules and powder. The capsules are convenient and easy to take. The powder is a little more interesting, in that you can actually taste the deliciousness of the kraut. Besides purple cabbage, it contains prebiotic-rich sunchokes, and delicious spices like caraway, celery seed, and dill. A two-teaspoon serving contains 64 million CFUs of Lactobacillus! • There are many ways you can take this powder. It can be as simple as stirring into water and drinking. Alternatively, it incorporates beautifully into foods like hummus, egg salad, and salad dressing! We tried it in a mock-tuna salad recipe using chickpeas, adapted from @minimalistbaker , and give it an A+. To make: 1. Drain 1 can of chickpeas and rinse. 2. In a bowl, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher. 3. Add 1/4 cup each of diced celery, red onion, and pickle. 4. Add 3 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, a heavy pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and a big swig of pickle juice. 5. Mash again until everything is incorporated. • This makes about 3 servings. Each serving can be mixed with 2 teaspoons of our Purple Probiotic powder for an added health boost. You may want to add extra pickle juice or vinegar to make up for the dry powder. Probiotics are known to support digestive and immune health, so eat up!
