Chia Seeds
Revered by the Aztecs, chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses that keep thousands of customers coming back to this top seller. These appetite-suppressing superfoods are a plentiful source of omega-3s.
Double Acting Baking Powder
Double acting baking powder releases carbon dioxide when exposed to moisture and heat, causing doughs and batters to rise. It is all natural and contains no aluminum.
Ground Cinnamon
Ground cinnamon is a widely used spice found in many desserts, chocolates, spicy candy, tea, hot cocoa, and liqueurs. It can also be used in pickling.
Organic White Chia Seeds
All natural and very hard to find, these organic white chia seeds are a nutritious powerhouse. They contain the same rich nutritional content of black chia seeds.
