These superfoods may not solve all your health woes in one bite, but with frequent consumption, they do offer health-boosting benefits.

Fine Rose Salt is the healthiest salt, sourced from the ancient sea salt deposits in the Andean highlands of Peru. Add it to any dish to give it extra dimension.

Snow Quinoa Flakes are simply quinoa that’s been rolled into very thin flakes. Quinoa was once called the “gold of the Incas” for increasing the stamina of Incan warriors. Snow Quinoa Flakes can be prepared like oatmeal to make a fast-cooking porridge.

Toasted Coconut Chips take coconuts to a whole other level. Slightly sweet with just the right amount of crunch, these chips are perfect for on-the-go, to sprinkle on top of salads, or even to add as a parfait topping.

Dried Fruits : Supersnacks

2. Supersnacks

In our bulk and grocery departments, you’ll find all kinds of dried fruit products. And now you’ll find these new dried fruits: Longan Puffs, Rose Apple Chips, Red Pitaya Dragon Fruit Chips, and White Pitaya Dragon Fruit Chips. These fruits have long been treasured in the tropics for their refreshing taste and beneficial minerals, phytonutrients and vitamins.

You won’t find any oil in these fruity snacks, and they retain their structures, making for chips and puffs that are flawlessly flavorful, crunchy, and light – not to mention visually stunning!

All supersnack varieties are deliciously sweet and bright without any added sugars or colorings.

Enjoy these supersnacks on their own right out of the bag; crush and sprinkle them over ice cream, cereal, or salad; or add exotic flavor and texture to the ultimate supersnack board! However you enjoy eating them, you’ll certainly love adding these low-fat, low-calorie superfoods to your diet.

Adding flowers to your food can be a nice way to add color, flavor, and a little whimsy. It’s not uncommon to see pretty petals in salads, teas, and as garnish for desserts, but these superblooms inspire far more creative uses.

Known for their luminous blue color, Butterfly Pea Flowers have traditionally been used to color desserts or to make a strikingly vibrant colored tea. They also have a magical color-changing power that’s activated by just a squeeze of citrus – try it and watch them change color before your eyes!

Sometimes it’s nice to just stop and eat the roses. Yes, you read that right. Rose Buds and Rose Blossoms are a spectacular way to add a little romance to your recipes. Just make sure you display their beauty before you gobble them up!
