Barlean's
Olive Leaf Complex is made from fresh live olive leaves, pressed within
minutes of being picked. This is a full-spectrum supplement, meaning
that its ingredients possess their inherent range of nutrients and are
harvested in such a way that these nutrients provide their maximum
efficacy. Traditionally, olive leaves have been used to support the
immune system during cold and flu season.
Garden of Life's Oceans 3 is a magnificent formula containing the most
potent and powerful Omega 3s. Oceans 3 contains EPA and DHA which are
known to improve cardiovascular health, brain function, and nervous
system health. It contains Astaxanthin— an extremely powerful
antioxidant carotenoid from sea algae—to combat the body's response to
inflammation and improve the health of the eyes, skin, bones, and
joints. This power-packed supplement contains fucoxanthin, a carotenoid
derived from brown seaweed, which fights damage from free-radicals at
the cellular level.

Fantastic
Fruits (in bulk!)
|
The
Bulk department is incorporating antioxidant-packed fruits in a variety
of ways. This month they are introducing Grandy Oats Goji Agave
Granola. Not only is it packed with one of the most nutritious
superfruits—the Goji berry—it is delightfully bright and summery
looking! Cape has added dried gooseberries and mulberries to Bulk's
array of dried fruits. Dancing Star is now providing Honest Weight with
Cacao Goji Chunks of Energy. These delicious snacks are 100% raw,
vegan, organic, and salt-free. Trail Power Mix is another bright
addition to the bulk department. It includes Goji berries, cacao nibs,
cashews, mulberries, and Incan golden berries. This nutrientpacked
combination is both raw and organic. Finally, Sunridge Farms Organic
Sunny Fruit Slices are a great snack for a sweet-craving or for kids on
the run!

Gamut of Groceries

In
an effort to support local economic growth, energy efficiency, and
minimize distribution pollution, Honest Weight has added another vital
new section: Frozen Local Food. This is located at the front of the
last isle before you reach the Deli. Within this new section, there are
newly featured items as well. Akara Lean Cakes is a unique product.
Akara (black-eyed pea fritter) is native to Asia, the Middle East, and
Africa. Winter Sun Farms, a localfirst establishment, makes a "harvest
special" Butternut Squash Soup that is absolutely amazing. Winter Sun
Farms is located in New Paltz and takes pride in providing a more
regional, fair, and sustainable food system. They partner with local
farms to provide various regions of New York with the freshest,
seasonal vegetables.

Frozen Foods

Fior
D'Italia's fresh, gourmet pastas are a treat like no other. They come
in seasonal flavors such as Lobster, Fennel with Leek, and Artichoke
with Goat Cheese. Victor Tirrito, the chef and owner of Fior D'Italia,
comes from a family of Italian immigrants who passed down recipes
dating back over 100 years. He plans to come to Honest Weight Food
Co-op in an effort to demonstrate his knowledge and techniques in the
near future! Victor Tirrito is also the supplier of our fresh and
smoked mozzarella cheeses.
Last, but certainly not least, we have Pika's Quiches from Big Indian
(NY). Her quiches and tarts are handmade from scratch, using only fresh
and local ingredients (if season permits). In order to avoid the use of
preservatives, she flash freezes them. All you have to do is pop the
frozen quiche/tart in the oven and relax, while the aromas fill your
house!
