Similar to many other useful herbs, rosemary is in the same taxonomic family as mint, but doesn’t have that characteristic flavor. It has a warmer, bitter, and more astringent taste that gives wonderful flavor to soups, sauces, stews, roasts, and stuffing.  How to use rosemary? Rosemary can be used in numerous ways. First and foremost, you can use it in your cooking as a garnish or final spice.

Stone-ground (Gharat / watermill) flours are nutritionally better as compared to milled one because they contain both the germ and bran- the parts that hold real flavor. Unlike steel rolling where rollers heat up the flour & kills most of the vitamins; stone milled flour is more nutritious because in the grinding process the flour stays cool. The high temperatures of rolling also cause the oils in the grain to turn rancid so flour created using a roller will spoil faster than stone milled flour. It is a proven fact that traditional milling is the only way to ensure flour has real flavour, integrity, and nutritional value. This is due to the fact that the whole grain is ground in a single pass between two horizontal, round millstones, thus retaining and integrating the wheat germ oil. To put it simply with stone-ground flour nothing is added or taken away, whole grain in and whole grain flour comes out.  We stone ground our organic wheat only after receiving the order- so what you get is freshly ground organic flour.

Stevia is a small perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family, in the genus Stevia. Its scientific name is Stevia rebaudiana. Some commonly referred names are honey leaf plant, sweet chrysanthemum, sweetleaf stevia, sugarleaf, etc. Stevia plant grows 2-4 feet in height with slender, branched stems, and flourishes well all over the temperate, and some parts of tropical regions.  stevia plant leaves can be used directly in drinks as a sweetener.  Remember to use dried stevia sugar in small proportions, as it is nearly 30 times sweeter than cane sugar. Roughly, one teaspoonful of dried leaves powder is equivalent to one cup of sugar; therefore, use it in small quantities adjusting the amount to achieve your desired levels of sweetness. Health benefits of stevia Stevia herb parts are very low in calories. Parts by parts, its dry leaves possess roughly 40 times more sweetness than sugar. This sweetness quality in stevia is due to several glycoside compounds including stevioside, steviolbioside, rebaudiosides A-E, and dulcoside. Stevioside is a non-carbohydrate glycoside compound. Hence, it lacks the properties that sucrose and other carbohydrates possess. Stevia extracts, like rebaudioside-A, are found to be 300 times sweeter than sugar. Besides, being a near-zero calorie food ingredient, stevia extracts have several unique properties such as long shelf life, high-temperature tolerance, non-fermentative. Chlorgenic acid reduces the enzymatic conversion of glycogen to glucose in addition to decreasing absorption of glucose in the gut. Thus, it helps reduce blood sugar levels. Lab studies also confirm a reduction in blood glucose levels and an increase in the liver concentrations of glucose-6-phosphate, and of glycogen. Certain glycosides in stevia extract have been found to dilate blood vessels, increase sodium excretion, and urine output. In effect, stevia, at slightly higher doses than as sweetener, can help lower blood pressure. Being a non-carbohydrate sweetener, stevia would not favor the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria in the mouth which is attributed to be a causative agent of dental caries and tooth cavities. On the other hand, certain compounds in stevia rather found to inhibit caries-causing bacteria in the mouth. Further, being a herb, stevia contains many vitals minerals, vitamins that are selectively absent in the artificial sweeteners.

H2H Tulsi oil is made by steam distillation of Rama & Shyam Tulsi leaves. It is a powerful aromatic herb used extensively both in Ayurvedic clinical and folk medicine; Tulsi, or holy basil, is considered a purifier of the mind, body, and spirit. Tulsi has a special place in Hindu households, where it is planted for its auspicious and protective powers. Its unique blend of medicinal and fragrant qualities have earned this sharp, fresh herbaceous-minty oil the title "Elixir of Life". With powerful therapeutic benefits, our tulsi essential oil is an aromatic jewel that belongs in every natural medicine chest. Tulsi, meaning "the incomparable one", is thought to embody a purifying radiance that refines body, mind and spirit. Tulsi brilliantly boosts vitality and can be used daily to maintain resilient health. When diffused, Tulsi will promote vitality for the whole family and should therefore always be on hand, especially when the children become congested.
