We recently took on a new line of medicinal herbal tinctures produced in Ireland.

Irish Organic Herbs is the first company to have pioneered the organically certified field-scale cultivation of medicinal herbs in Ireland. The herbs used to produce the Irish Organic Herbs range are mainly grown on certified organic Irish farms. This guarantees you purity of product, with full traceability from seed to sale, independently audited.

The new range contains twelve single tinctures including Irish grown 100% Organic Echinacea tincture - traditionally used to boost and support the immune system. Other herbal tinctures within the range have been traditionally used to help with a variety of conditions from stress (oats) and arthritis (devil’s claw) to menopausal symptoms (black cohosh) and liver detox (milk thistle).

The Irish Organic Herbs range also contains 4 herbal tincture combinations sold under the names: Immune Boost+, Liver Cleanse & Detox, Menopause Relief and Relax & Sleep Naturally.

Check out the full Irish Organic Herbs range in the Herbal Remedies section of our website.

Saturday's Irish Times carried a good article on Quinoa

SUPERFOODS, WONDERFOODS, UNDISCOVERED gems that nobody has heard of but which are the answer to all our needs, wants, desires and hopes. Extravagant claims are the workhorses of selling, and yet here comes a grain that does little more than say: “I’m a bit unusual in that I’m not really a grain at all and I taste rather nice”.

Quinoa has been around for a long time. But while the likes of wheat, oats and barley have conquered the world, quinoa has languished. Quinoa is amino acid-rich, for which read protein-rich, and has a fluffy, creamy, slightly crunchy texture and nutty flavour.

Quinoa is not actually a grain at all but a member of the Chenopodium family (think spinach and beet). Its most common form is as a couscous-like grain that you cook in water and then dress or add to other ingredients.

You can read the full article on the Irish Times site - we are listed as a stockist at the end.
