Organic Calendula Face and Body Cream made in Penticton, BC.

Calendula is known for its skin healing, renewing, soothing and softening qualities. Calendula cream is primarily used to treat skin age spots, diaper rash, eczema, skin irritations, bruises, burns and open wounds. Calendula improves neovascularization in tissue, or the growth of new tiny capillaries, which improves blood circulation and helps skin wounds heal.

It increases the speed of tissue repair for open wounds as well as for tissue injuries such as sunburn. The cream base has a soothing effect on surrounding tissue to aid relief from itching or pain. Calendula cream has also been recommended to treat minor frostbite. Specific studies have not been done to validate these uses.

Radiation treatments for cancer can cause sores and dermatitis at the radiation site. Calendula cream has been used by patients to soothe and help heal these skin conditions. Clinical studies have not been done to verify this use of calendula cream, but according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, homeopathic doctors recommend its use for this type of topical application.

Calendula cream seems to have anti-inflammatory properties, and it may be used to soothe muscle aches, cramps and sprains. The cream may also be used to treat hemorrhoids, according to UMMC, although studies for its use as an anti-inflammatory treatment have not been conducted.

*Made with organic calendula petals infused in sunflower oil, beeswax and essential oil blend. Handmade by Okanagan Herbals in Penticton BC.

Certified Organic Cassava Flour from Brazil. 

Cassava is a tuber crop and is similar in shape to a sweet potato. Cassava grows in many countries and is a staple in the diet of around 800 million people worldwide.

Manufacturers make cassava flour as follows:

1. They grate the cassava into small pieces.
2. Next, they dry out the grated cassava.
3. Finally, they grind the dry, grated cassava until it forms a very fine powder.

Cassava flour features in a number of recipes. As cassava flour is gluten-free, people who avoid gluten can use it as a replacement for wheat flour in a variety of recipes. Many people consider it the most similar gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in terms of taste and texture. 

Cassava flour versus tapioca flour
Cassava flour and tapioca flour both come from the cassava root. However, there are some key difference between the two:

• The part of the plant they come from: Cassava flour contains the whole root, while tapioca flour is made up only of the starchy part of the root.
• Fiber content: Cassava flour contains more dietary fiber than tapioca flour.
• Calories: Cassava flour has fewer calories per serving than tapioca flour.
• Their use in recipes: Both flours work similarly in recipes. However, due to the higher fiber content of cassava flour, it can be more effective as a thickener.
• Their taste: Cassava flour has a more noticeable taste — it has a nuttier flavor in comparison to more plain-tasting tapioca flour.Uses

Here are some of the ways a person can use cassava flour:

• In baking: To replace wheat flour in a number of recipes, including: 
  • bread
  • muffins
  • cookies
  • cakes
  • brownies
• In pasta: To make pasta dough.
• Thickening: To help thicken a sauce, gravy, or pie filling.
• Farofa: This is a Brazilian dish that involves toasted cassava flour and is similar to couscous.
• Flatbreads: Cassava flour is great for making flatbreads and tortillas that a person could toast or grill.

Cassava flour does absorb more liquid than wheat flour. Therefore, a person may need to use slightly less cassava flour than they would use regular wheat flour in a recipe. 

Benefits of Cassava flour

Cassava flour contains carbohydrates, which are the main energy source for the body.

Cassava flour also contains resistant starch. These are starches that the small intestine does not digest.

Resistant starches work in a similar manner to dietary fiber. They pass from the small intestines into the colon where they begin to ferment.

Resistant starches promote gut health by fedding the beneficial gut bacteria as they ferment.

There are a number of possible health benefits to eating resistant starches in cassava flour, including:

Digestive and colon health

As the resistant starch in cassava flour ferments inside the colon, it feeds the healthy bacteria there. During this process, the starches turn into short-chain fatty acids.

One of these short-chain fatty acids is butyrate. Butyrate is an important component in the cells of the colon. 

Butyrate can also reduce the levels of inflammation inside the colon. This can help protect a person against a variety of digestive issues, such as inflammatory colorectal cancer and ulcerative colitis.

Insulin sensitivity

One 2012 study showed that resistant starch can increase a person’s insulin sensitivity. Cassava flour is high in resistant starch.

During the study, males who were overweight or had obesity ate 15–30 grams (g) of resistant starch each day. These males then showed increased insulin sensitivity in comparison to males who did not eat these resistant starches.

By increasing a person’s insulin sensitivity, resistant starches can play a role in preventing disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

During the study, female participants did not show the same results. More research is necessary to determine why.

Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea from Japan

DōMatcha® is 100% authentic Japanese stone-ground green tea, directly from Kagoshima and Uji, Kyoto where Japanese matcha originated. Dō (pronounced ‘doh’) is the Japanese symbol for ‘way’ or ‘journey’. DōMatcha® means ‘The Way of Matcha’. 

DōMatcha® green tea is shade-grown and only the finest and youngest top leaves are chosen. Immediately after harvesting, the leaves are carefully steamed to prevent the enzymes from oxidizing, they are then placed in specially designed facilities at zero degrees to keep them fresh all year round. Before grinding the leaves into Matcha, all the rough fibers, such as stems and veins, are removed to reduce any bitter flavor. Some producers use not only lower grade leaves but also include stems and other rough fiber to get more volume and reduce the costs. Needless to say that these practices result in a Matcha that is a much lower quality product, less vibrant green, and leaves a bitter flavor. Once the leaves have been de-stemmed and de-veined, they are then slowly ground between traditional granite stones, guaranteeing maximum protection by breaking the fiber naturally without overheating and ‘burning’ the powder. Powdered green tea that is produced outside of Japan is turned into powder by using hot air pressure which destroys the natural structure and overheats the green tea leaves.

This matcha has a high nutritional value, including the unique properties of L-theanine and catechins (antioxidants). Scores 1384 on the ORAC test Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity.

Benefits: Helps relieve stress, promotes natural weight loss, helps lower cholesterol, enhances memory, protects the liver and has anti-cancer properties. 

How to enjoy as a traditional whisked matcha. : Put ½-1 teaspoon of Matcha in a large cup or a drinking bowl and add a small amount of hot water (60-90ml – 2-3 oz). The ideal water temperature for DōMatcha is 80 C/ 176 F. Whisk in a quick, light zig-zag motion until a layer of green froth appears on the surface. After whisking, add more water if desired (up to 240ml/8oz). *Can also be used to make a latte, in a fruit smoothie, in raw desserts, or in baking!

*This powder is Silver Grade Matcha.

"One of the most nutritionally dense food in the world and tastes great too!"

Binds heavy metals, cholesterol, and has excellent prebiotic effects. 

Rice Bran Solubles are made from the bran and germ leftover when brown rice is husked to make white rice. The water-soluble components of the bran are then enzymatically extracted, leaving you with a very nutrionally rich food. Loaded with B vitamins, tocotrienols (vitamin E), CoQ10, and many other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, they are a great addition to your daily smoothies, cereal, or even baked goods. 

Ingredients: Stabilized Rice Bran and Germ (the most nutrient dense part of rice), separated from insoluble fibre without heat or chemicals. Kosher, Non GMO Rice, Grown in U.S.

Smoothie: Blend in water 1/2 cup RBS, Almond Butter, Coconut Milk Powder, 2 Bananas and a squirt of Stevia or Honey. Flavour with cocoa or fruit. (serves 4 or 6)

Rice bran solubles are known for their ability to nourish the skin, lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and even regulate blood sugar as seen in a study published by the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. They may be also be helpful in the prevention of arthritis, cancer, peripheral neuropathy and cardiovascular disease. 

A review article published in the PMC database discussed the functional and physiological properties of total, soluble, and insoluble dietary fibers derived from defatted rice bran, including their ability to bind minerals, heavy metals, and cholesterol, as well as their prebiotic effects [3].

"Until recently, Vitamin E was thought to be composed of several TOCOPHEROLS, the most powerful form of which is ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL. Vitamin E is of great nutritional importance. 
All body tissues, especially the adrenal and pituitary glands, have high concentrates of Vitamin E, but storage is mainly in the muscles, fatty tissues, and liver. Recently, a new class of compounds related to the TOCOPHEROLS has been discovered, and these compounds are called TOCOTRIENOLS. According to a noted expert in the field of Vitamin E research, ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL is 40-60 times more potent than ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL. At the present time, there are four named TOCOTRIENOLS. An additional 20 unnamed TOCOTRIENOLS have been discovered. By way of example, DELTA-TOCOTRIENOL is 200 times more potent than ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL."

Pregnant women must have adequate Vitamin E while fetus is forming to avoid narrowing of the body, cleft palate, crowded teeth, barrel chest and even muscular dystrophy. It is absolutely essential to health.

Storage: Keep Refrigerated.
