  • Clearspring Japanese Agar Flakes Gelling Agent 28g

    N$228.00

    Japanese Agar Flakes Gelling Agent

    Clearspring Agar Flakes, known as “kanten” in Japanese, are a high quality vegetarian alternative to gelatine for making desserts, jellies and aspics. They are traditionally made from sea plants in Japan. They have a neutral flavour and are free from any bleaching chemical or softening agents.

    Nowadays, almost all commercial agar-agar is made using sulphuric acid to dissolve the starches, and chemical bleaches and dyes to neutralise the colour and flavour of the sea plants. However, a few small craft producers, such as the family who make Clearspring Agar Flakes, still use the traditional slow method.

    Suggested use:

    We recommend the following ratio: one heaped tablespoon of agar flakes for 250ml of liquid. If the liquid being used is acidic then more agar flakes would be needed.

    Sprinkle over the liquid in a saucepan before heating. Heat without stirring, then simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flakes dissolve. Pour into a mould and cool to set.

    Ingredients: Agar sea vegetable (Gelidium and Gracilaria spp.)

     

  • Earthsap Fruit and Vegetable Wash 500ml

    N$58.00

    Fruit and Vegetable Wash

    Rinsing your fruit and vegetables with water alone is ineffective because pesticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals are designed to be water resistant to protect the fruit and vegetables in even heavy rains. These toxic chemicals should not be entering your system via the produce that you eat however. The Earthsap Fruit and Vegetable Wash is proven to be 300% more effective than water to remove these chemicals. Also great for cleaning hands, cutting boards and surfaces before preparing food.

     

    Suggested use: Spray on, rub and rinse off with water.

    Ingredients: Purified Water, Saponified Vegetable Extract (source Coconuts/Corn), Lemon Oil, Grapefruit Oil.

    Ingredients:

    Pure vegetable glycerine, made from certified sustainably sourced palm and palm kernel oil.

    Our take on palm oil: we do actively try to avoid products that are produced from palm oil sources but sometimes it just isn’t possible. Therefore at a minimum, any products containing palm oil must be from certified sustainably sourced palm oil. Sustainably sourced palm oil may still be a better option than other alternatives, which although won’t carry the stigma that palm oil does, can still be farmed and produced unsustainably – in some cases in an even less sustainable manner than palm oil itself. The problem isn’t palm oil, it is the way in which unethical producers farm it. The way we see it, supporting certified sustainably sourced farmers will help change the way this product is farmed, leading to better environmental policies, while still supporting the communities that depend on palm farming.
