Matcha Green Tea – Organic
Organic Matcha Tea, Japan (Nishio region)
Matcha is known to be the finest green tea in the world. Shade-grown (to enhance chlorophyll content) and hand-picked, it is made from the finest whole tea leaves. After stems and veins have been removed, the leaves (aka Tencha) are carefully stone ground on artisanal granite mills to produce a very fine (5-10 microns) powder which means you are consuming the entire leaf when drinking Matcha.

Organic Sifted Red Fife Flour, True Grain
True Grain Mill, Cowichan
Red Fife is a heritage wheat variety. This means the grain is pure and predates the complex hybridization methods imposed by humans over the last century. The result is an organic grain that delivers a more robust nutty flavour than conventional wheat. Our Red Fife is organic and proudly grown in BC. We slowly stone grind our Red Fife at low temperature to maximize flavour and preserve nutrients. The term “sifted” simply means we remove the bran. Substitute Red Fife Sifted Wheat for all-purpose flour in your recipes. Thank you for supporting organic BC Farmers and Millers.

Laundry Soda (Sodium Carbonate)
Washing soda is a compound, also known as sodium carbonate, frequently used in DIY and commercial laundry detergents. Washing soda should not be confused with baking soda (a less abrasive cleaning agent), although the two compounds are closely related since they both contain the mineral trona. Washing soda and baking soda can be used together in DIY detergent recipes to remove stains, but washing soda has more of a stripping action to remove residues of oils, minerals, and fabric softeners.
Sodium carbonate can also be used to mitigate the problems associated with “hard water” — or water with a high mineral content — when it comes to cleaning clothes. Hard water makes it difficult to clean laundry completely because the minerals in the water keep the detergents from doing their best work. Washing soda “softens” the water by binding to the minerals in the water, allowing the detergents to lift dirt from fabric.

Bull Kelp
Dakini Tidal Wilds’ Edible Bull Kelp, Vancouver Island
Dakini Tidal Wilds’ Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is harvested by hand off the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island & tested for purity. Seaweeds are among the most nutritive and complete foods and are the most concentrated food source of minerals on the planet. They are nature’s perfectly balanced mineral supplement. Dakini Tidal Wilds offers customers a local choice of seaweed.
Kelps in particular are unique in their ability to safely eliminate certain heavy metals, PCB’s, dioxins and certain radioactive compounds from the body. They do this via a compound called ‘sodium alginate’. This quality makes the kelp family of seaweeds one of the most important sources of protection against today’s most harmful environmental toxins.
One of the most exciting areas of research in seaweeds is with cancer. In particular, a compound called ‘fucoidan’, found in the kelp family of seaweeds as well as other seaweeds in the phylum ‘Phaeophyta’, has shown some very exciting and promising results so far. Winged Kelp is one of the highest sources of fucoidan.

Kale Powder – Organic
Organic Kale Powder, Canada
As one would assume from the name, kale powder is a dried and smashed form of the fresh leaves. These leaves are generally harvested at optimal ripeness, then air or freeze dried until they are brittle enough to be gently broken and pulverized into dust.
Powdered Kale is much more concentrated of a form than the fresh wavy leaves since the water weight has been removed, packing the power of a cup of fresh kale into about a serving of four teaspoons – making it far more nutritionally dense than fresh kale and easier to digest. That same serving has more iron than beef per calorie, and more calcium than a cup of milk.
