Cultured Food Festival Round-Up

Our team was delighted to have shared our gourmet and organic foods at the Cultured Food Festival at the Highland Springs Ranch and Inn on February 23 and 24, 2019. But hang on, what are cultured foods, you ask? "Cultured" essentially means "fermented." Cultured foods have undergone a process through which they are broken down, usually by bacteria, yeasts or fungi. There are so many different types of cultured food, including yogurt and cheese. Initially produced as a way to preserve foods, cultured foods not only enhance flavor; they have an array of additional health benefits, including fostering gut health by strengthening your gut microbiome. They are packed with good bacteria and they are becoming more and more popular today.

The Importance of Choosing Raw Honey Over Cooked Honey

We’re all familiar with honey and its sweet taste. You may have used it as a substitute for sugar in tea or recipes. But apart from considering it a healthier alternative to sugar, you may be unaware of just how nutritional this natural resource is.
