Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

We recently changed our distributor for bulk spices herbs and teas—but not our brands—resulting in reduced prices! You will notice some of our bulk spices such as cinnamon, turmeric and black peppercorns have all gone down in price. If you love organic Earl Grey bulk loose tea, you will enjoy a savings of almost 40 percent!

Speaking of spices, we are also in the process of switching most of our non-organic ones to organic! Ask our knowledgeable wellness staff about bulk spices if you have any questions.

Black Pepper Has Health Benefits

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

It’s sometimes surprising to hear that a simple ingredient is actually beneficial to our health. In the case of black pepper it’s no different.

Black pepper can increase the flow of saliva and gastric juices, which can help your body in digestion. It can act as a natural coolant, cooling your body. So spice it up as the weather gets warmer!

A few pinches of pepper in your everyday recipes can also reduce your need for salt, decreasing your sodium intake.

Valley Natural Foods sells fresh whole peppercorns and ground pepper in the bulk spices deparment. Buy as much or as little as you want to keep your spice rack fresh.
