New on the Shelf

by C. Morse

Peanut Butter & Jelly ...Back to School! Conserves, actually — Morello (sour) Cherry Conserve and Blood Orange Conserve, both organic, come from Crofter’s (Canada). Santa Cruz Organic brings us Light Roasted Peanut Butter and Dark Roasted Peanut Butter, both made without hydrogenated oils and available in creamy or crunchy varieties. A new version of sunflower seed butter is on the shelves: Natural Sunbutter (SunGold Foods), which contains dehydrated cane juice.

In bread products, Sami’s Millet and Flax Lavash is a gluten free, pita-like bread. Kim & Scott’s Traditional Bavarian Soft Pretzels come frozen. Also in our frozen foods section is Black Bean Mango Pilaf by Kashi. Ice cream lovers might be intrigued by this new flavor: Black Mission Fig Goat Milk Ice Cream (La Loo’s). Humboldt Creamery offers organic ice cream in a variety of flavors.

Also new in Grocery is Arctic Wildcatch Salmon in Pepper Smoked King Salmon or Keta Salmon. Sweet White Garlic from Mas Portell is a marinated product of Spain. Grocery also reports two additional flavors of the popular G.T.’s Kombucha, Citrus and Divine Grape. Katalyst Kombucha brings us a Fair Trade product: Schizandraberry beverage, made with Kombucha culture — and it’s made nearby in western Massachusets.

Liquid Assets adds “Fred Head” Coffee to their collection, named after their roaster, Fred Cashmere.

The Return Of…

“Real hippie food!” is how one Coop employee describes Tofu-Kan (a seasoned tofu product that first hit the shelves in the ’60s). Returning after a long absence, it’s made by the Ithaca Soy Company. Almond meal is also back, as is barley malt powder — both in the Bulk aisle. Bulk also welcomes two other new products: freeze-dried organic strawberries and Hunza Goji Granola (Tierra Farms), made with Hunza raisins from the Himalayas and the nutrition-packed goji berry.
