Activated Charcoal
The healing benefits of activated charcoal have
led to this black powder (made from a variety
of plant-based materials including coconut
husk) being used in everything from beauty
products to food. Activated charcoal absorbs
and neutralizes heavy metals, gases, chemicals,
drugs, and more. It’s neutral yet earthy taste
makes it mixable in drinks like Vermont Vil-
lage’s Daily Detox.
Vermont Village • vermontvillage.com
The Daily Detox includes trending cleansing
ingredients apple cider vinegar and activated
charcoal. Take a shot by itself or mix with still
or sparkling water for tasty sipping. We’re not
the only ones impressed with it; Daily Detox
won a New Hope NEXTY Award for Best
New Beverage.
Crunch
Kettle Brand® Krinkle Cut™
Wasabi Ranch • kettlebrand.com
We love crunch so much it’s practically a taste.
So when we tried one of the new favors of
Kettle Brand® chips—the Wasabi Ranch, we
began the countdown to when they arrive in
stores. They’ll be on shelves just in time for
picnic season this summer.
Turmeric
There are many good reasons why turmeric
seems to be the herb of the hour. The golden
yellow root is beloved in Ayurveda and other
Asian systems of medicine and healing in part
because it has powerful anti-inflammatory and
anti-oxidant effects. Turmeric is a member
of the same plant family as ginger, and as a
culinary spice or as a tea it blends well with a
variety of other flavors.Nature’s Path Organic Golden
Turmeric Cereal • naturespath.com
Certified organic and gluten-free, the flakes in
the Nature’s Path Golden Turmeric Cereal are
made from a mix of corn, quinoa, and ama-
ranth. The spice mix of turmeric, cinnamon,
ginger, and black pepper provides a balanced
flavor palate suitable for snacking or a break-
fast meal anytime of the day. Oh, and did we
mention the coconut? If you choose to top the
cereal off with milk (even your favorite trend-
ing non-dairy flavor), you’re left with golden
milk when it comes time to drink the milk left
in the bowl. We can’t stop munching.One Degree Organics Sprouted Grain
Turmeric Tortillas • onedegreeorganics.com
The heritage sprouted red fife wheat that cre-
ates the base of these versatile tortillas is rich
in flavor and fiber. And then there’s the tur-
meric. It provides more than simply color, as
the earthy flavor palate amps up the versatility
of this flatbread. We tried it to make jackfruit
wraps and the menu ideas just keep coming.RW Garcia 3 Seed Lentil with Turmeric
Crackers • rwgarcia.comSometimes a cracker is the only thing that
can satisfy. These gluten-free yet crunch-rich
cracker has a complex flavor palate with the
seeds, lentils, and of course our favorite spice-
turmeric. Delicious alone, these also make a
satisfying base for dips of all kinds.Savory Soups
Vegan Miso by Nona Lim • nonalim.com
The flavors of Bay Area based Artisan noodle
and broth crafters Nona Lim bring better-
than-homemade home to you. We loved
the savory sake-based umami flavor of this
versatile broth.
