Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!
While I love to support local producers and purveyors, many of our listeners have also loved our spots about people who may be a bit further afield.
Among our most popular partners are our brothers and sisters in Africa, such as Jam Jar wines, Nanakono honeys and preserves, Rwanda Bean coffee (which is actually now based in Portland, ME!), and Three Mountains teas.
Now, I can share the news that South Africa’s Oryx Desert Salts will be available at Whole Foods starting in October!
Sustainably harvested from a vast, ancient saltpan in the remote and unpolluted Kalahari Desert, Oryx’s salts are dried in the South African sun before being packaged and distributed around the world. Their range of satisfying flavors includes smoked salt and their signature BBQ salt, all of which work well in recipes or afterwards for a finishing touch that many African and international chefs will not do without.
As Oryx avoids processing and using preservatives and additives, the salts retain all of their valuable minerals and micro-nutrients, giving them a fuller taste and also making them nutritious wholefoods that belong in Whole Foods.
Though each glass bottle is fully recyclable, they all come with long-lasting ceramic grinder heads that can be used over and over again without adding plastic to the landfills or to your foods.
So the next time you want some international flavor that helps your health, local farmers and the environment, head to Whole Foods and grab the Oryx by the horns (or at least the bottle)!
