New Snack available in bulk: Roasted Soy Beans!

New Product: Jade Green Pearl Rice
Try our new Jade Green Pearl Rice, made from organic short-grain rice (a.k.a sushi rice, grown in China) infused with bamboo concentrate. This rice has a moist texture, a delicate taste, and a great light green color from the chlorophyll in the bamboo!
Delivered by Tootsi and available in bulk for $7.22/lb.
Cooking tips:
- Do not rinse it! Rinsing can remove the bamboo, which dulls the dolor.
- 1.5 to 1 water to rice ratio
- Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Just cook until the water is absorbed.
- Steam covered for 5 minutes. This final step is important to get the right texture. Jade rice is moist and stickier than a standard white or brown rice.

We now have cassava flour!
Also called manioc or yuca, cassava flour is gluten-free and grain-free (made from cassava root), and one of the best replacement for wheat flour because of its starchy content. Our cassava is organic and produced in Brazil. Available at $4.19/lb.
You can try it in simple recipes such as waffles and pancakes, or delicious 5-min tortillas.

Barley and Silken Tofu
Hey there! Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up that our beloved silken tofu has been taking a little vacation from our shelves lately. Unfortunately, our vendor hasn’t provided us with an estimated return date, but don’t worry – they haven’t given our favorite tofu the boot.
A quick update about our barley situation. Unfortunately, our supplier, Champlain Valley, has had to discontinue production for the year, so our beloved barley won’t be available for a while. Not to worry though – we’re on the lookout for another supplier to fill the barley-shaped hole in our hearts. Thanks for your understanding as we navigate this grainy situation!🌱✨
