Nutiva Hemp Oil Review

Nutiva Hemp Oil is another superfood, packed with high quantities of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids and very advantageous to our health. These essential fatty acids are important to our health, but need to be ingested as specialty foods, such as hemp oil, as our bodies don’t produce them.

Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids provide many benefits to our health as it increases the healing processes; keeps our heart healthy, improves vitality, smooths skin, reduces arthritis, helps brain development in children, increases immune system resistance, fights infections and encourages calmness.

Hemp Oil (Nutiva) is made from the best raw and certified organic Canadian hemp seeds and cold-pressed for superior quality. You can use it in salad dressings, mayonnaise, dips, smoothies or energy bars. Hemp oil is not suitable for frying as this would diminish the many health benefits it otherwise has.

Gourmet Sea Salt Sampler Review

THE GOURMET SEA SALT SAMPLER

I am always on the lookout for special gifts that don’t cost the earth, but are unique. I really like the look and the idea of The Gourmet Sea Salt Sampler which comes with 16 different gourmet sea salt samplers in individual containers. They come in an attractive and reusable box.

Salts of the 7 Seas is a company that offers pure, unadulterated and natural sea salt.

Sea salt is essential for our healthy bodies since it contains up to 90 trace minerals and important nutrients. This is totally different from the refined table salt most people use and overuse on a daily basis. Common table salt is mostly made from sodium chloride, with added anti-caking agents and important minerals removed. As we all have heard many times in the press, common table salt is bad for our health and can cause many health issues.

The 16 sea salt samplers look stunning with their different colors. There is the grey looking Cyprus Onyx flaked sea salt, the reddish Pele Red Hawaiian gourmet sea salt, the brown Porcini Mushroom sea salt, the purple Sel de Sauvignon (sauvignon wine infused) gourmet sea salt, the Tibetan Rose gourmet sea salt and other salts with exciting sounding names.

All in all, I think that this product would make a fantastic gift to any of your foodie friends (or as a special treat for yourself). You might even get an invitation to their next dinner party to sample some of the food enriched with these amazing salts.
