Originating in southern China, the unique monk fruit imparts sweetness without sucrose or fructose, resulting in the healthiest sugar alternative. Try Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Flavoured Syrup, sweetened by monk fruit.

We’re always eager to feature food products whose makers focus on the need for authentic desserts and snacks high in flavour and low on the glycemic index, as we’ve been keeping our eye on diabetes, which is as epidemic as ever.

The use of butter goes back millennia and its exalted status in the cooking world and in so many kitchens is undeniable.
Around three thousand years ago, ghee – or clarified butter– was developed in India and is the cooking oil of choice in many regions of the Subcontinent, and, compared to butter, has a higher smoke point, reduced dairy solids, and a more robust, nuanced flavour.
Enter Organic Valley, creators of a certified organic version of this versatile traditional staple.
This month we’re featuring Organic Valley Ghee Clarified Butter.

Like so many worthy modern food-awareness-driven trends, the popularity of probiotic foods – owing to their bountiful health benefits – stems from ancient tradition.

This month, we’re featuring Icelandic yogurt from Siggi’s, a company that accesses exceptional dairy from family farms in Iceland.
Try Siggi’s Skyr Seasonal Pumpkin & Spice 2% milkfat yogurt, flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree.
