\u00a0GOOD GRAINS<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

By Nature Organic Rolled Oats 500g R45<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Gone are the days of sugar laden cereal \u2013 wholesome grains<\/a> are so versatile and full of nutrients, and of course great flavour. Foodies will know the joy of local and traditional grains, superfood infusions and coconut-everything<\/a> in your morning fuel. Grains like buckwheat<\/a>, quinoa<\/a>, millet<\/a> and amaranth<\/a> are all full of b-vitamins and fibre.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0NUTRITIONAL YEAST<\/h2>\n

You may know nutritional yeast<\/a>\u00a0as nooch, as the vegan culinary trend has put this on the map. With a yummy cheesy, nutty flavour just a 1\/4 cup has 8g of protein, 3g of fibre, and 3 times your daily B12 requirement. It is wonderful to add flavour to pasta and nacho sauces, and even sprinkled on popcorn.<\/p>\n

FULL-FAT FARE<\/h2>\n

It can no longer be denied that low-fat or fat-free variations of foods are far inferior, causing more harm than\u00a0they do good. The truth about fats is finally out, and the benefits are great. Think nutritious avocados, fresh salad dressings and yummy nut butters…Mmm.<\/p>\n

\n

BIO-DYNAMIC REVOLUTION<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s the new nutrition buzz-word, and the most environmentally friendly form of farming. It means there are no pesticides or fertilizers, and the crops are self-sustaining. With American chain Whole Foods Market supporting the movement, bio-dynamic farming is set to have a great year.<\/p>\n

\n

ORGANIC MEAT<\/h2>\n

It simply tastes better. The animals are treated better and have happier lives, experience less stress.\u00a0 They are not pumped full of anti-biotics and hormones, and their feed is not GM but instead quality feed with a wide array of nutrients. Usually these farmers will have sustainable farming practices as well, such as recycling waste, and with no doubt use a lot less resources than factory farms.<\/p>\n

\n

PULSES<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Truefood Chickpeas <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

The flour of pulses has made its way into innovative restaurants all around the globe, with their rich fibre and high protein content. These little things are also gluten free and have been celebrated for their flours awesome ability to create a wonderful replacement for those with gluten intolerance and coeliac sufferers, following a Banting or paleo lifestyle especially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

TUMERIC<\/h2>\n

Powdered turmeric is nothing new, but it\u2019s the rich orange flesh that has been making an impact with its punchy flavour and antioxidant kick. Turmeric<\/a> is delicious in beverages warm or cold, and has long been a staple in Eastern medicine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

The Duchess Virgin Gin and Tonic<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS<\/h2>\n

Swapping out your sugar laden drinks for a superfood cocktail is so undeniably good, it\u2019s readily catching on and is set to be a great trend towards health. Have a look at our inspirational blog post from last year with some great drinks ideas –\u00a0Cocktails with a Healthy Punch<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

MINDFULNESS<\/h2>\n

The new wave of healthy eating has shown that it has to be a way of life. Forget diets and replacements, because it\u2019s about knowing what you are eating \u2013 where it came from and exactly what\u2019s in it. It\u2019s about great quality, great health benefits and great taste. Food is fuel, and the world is realizing that eating well means truly enjoying quality of life.<\/p>\n
