Non- fluoridated sea salt is the purest salt and great for cooking and seasoning. Sea salt is harvested in shallow ponds near the ocean here in Ecuador, the shallow ponds evaporate naturally in the sun then the salt is harvested. We periodically test the Sea Salt for microplastics with our laboratory in the USA (EMSL). The coastal areas of the equator are ideal for sea salt production as the sun and wind are constant for much of the year.

Amaranth and quinoa are considered ancient grains. Compared to quinoa, amaranth is smaller and possesses a distinctive grassy smell and a nutty, herbal taste. When cooking amaranth, it is added to boiling water and cooked until the liquid is absorbed. For a pilaf, the recommended measurements are 1 cup of amaranth to 1 1/2 cups of water; for cereal, 1 cup of amaranth requires 2 1/2 cups of water.

It is not only a great whole grain to add to your kitchen pantry, but also a nutritional powerhouse packed with fiber and essential minerals.

• Hulled barley needs 50-60 minutes to cook properly.

Quinoa, an ancient Andean staple, that over the past 5000 years, has been nurtured in the Andean valleys of Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru.

Despite being technically a seed, quinoa is recognized as a whole grain and serves as an exceptional source of plant protein and fiber. With about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber per cup cooked, it stands out for providing a complete protein profile containing all nine essential amino acids. Furthermore, it is a safe gluten-free option for individuals with gluten intolerance.

To cook quinoa, use a ratio of two parts liquid to one-part dry quinoa, similar to cooking rice. Before cooking, rinse the quinoa under cool water using a fine mesh strainer. To enhance the flavor, consider adding herbs or spices such as bay leaves, marjoram, thyme, black pepper, or garlic or onion powder during cooking.

Rye kernels, often known as “rye berries,” consist of about 80-85% starchy endosperm, 2-3% germ, and 10-15% outer bran layers. Unlike most grains, rye contains fiber not only in the bran layers but also in the endosperm.

Rye is a highly nutritious grain with a high fiber content, and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Rye is packed with essential nutrients, particularly phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. Low on the glycemic index and high in satiety, rye berries are a great choice. 

Cooking instructions:

Rinse the rye in a strainer, for each cup of rye add 3 cups of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and simmer for 45-60 minutes until they reach the desired tenderness. Some recipes recommend soaking the rye berries overnight to reduce cooking time and enhance digestibility and nutrient availability, but this step is optional.
