Alaffia Eyeglasses Drive

10/31/2017

Comments

 
Picture
​In Togo, West Africa, it is extremely difficult for visually impaired people to obtain eyeglasses. An eye exam costs as much as one month’s wage and a pair of glasses can cost up to four months of wages. Alaffia is currently collecting used eyeglasses at retailer locations throughout the US, and employs an optometrist in Togo to correctly fit and distribute the glasses. A pair of eyeglasses is life-changing for a child struggling in school, the elderly with failing vision, and adults who have never been able to see clearly.
A Way To Assist:
The Whole Wheatery is now accepting donations of new or used prescription eyeglasses. You can drop off your donations within our location, right next to the Customer Service kiosk. Join our cause in aiding Togolese men, women and children in need!

T'was a very successful day at the Whole Wheatery, while celebrating our first annual installment of Oktoberfest. 
Oktoberfest at the Whole Wheatery is a community involved social gathering, where attendees can take part in learning about and sampling taps from local breweries and commodities from members of the Supplemental and Natural Products industry. 55 gift baskets were given away to selected participants, as well as tastings and free samples from over 20 vendors present at the event. This celebration is the perfect place to gather important information, straight from the source. With merchandise ranging from food & beverage to skincare, you can have face-to-face conversations with representatives of various retailers. Vendors include Bravery Brewery, She Beer, Kevita Probiotics, Desert Essence, Garden of Life, Alaffia, Bio-K, Tochigan Salsa and many more! There were also tasty and delicious food demos, provided by the staff at Natcheryl's Cafe, in addition to recipes for each corresponding sample. It was a jovial occasion for both guests and staff alike. 

​Here's a slideshow to visualize the festivities that took place:
 If you have missed this year's Oktoberfest, we hope to see you at the next installment!  ​

Spiced Monkey Bread

10/24/2017

Comments

 
Picture
​3 hours (including resting time), 12-15 servings, vegetarian
Bread
  • 1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup Organic Valley whole milk, heated
  • ½ cup plus 1 Tablespoon organic granulated sugar*
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 Tbsp Organic Valley pasture butter, softened
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Spiced Sugar
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  •  ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
  1. Dissolve yeast in hot milk in large bowl (preferably of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook). Let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Add sugar, pumpkin puree, flour, salt, and spices for bread. Beat at medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes, or knead for about 5 minutes. If needed, add additional flour to form a smooth and moist (but not sticky) dough, beating an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add softened butter and mix until just combined.
  3. Place dough in a buttered, medium sized bowl, turning the dough to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for Spiced Sugar in a shallow bowl. Mix well.
  5. After dough doubled in size, punch it down and transfer to a lightly floured surface.
  6. Divide evenly into golf ball sized pieces (1%1⁄2 ounces each). Roll each piece into a ball.
  7. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan or ring shaped cake pan. Dip each ball of dough lightly into melted butter, then dip heavily in spiced sugar.
  8. Place rolls evenly in prepared pan, stacking on top of one another. Pour any remaining butter over the rolls and sprinkle with a small amount of any remaining sugar mixture.
  9. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft free place until doubled in size, 60-80 minutes.
  10. Heat oven to 350° F. Bake bread until puffed and light golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan.
  11. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
*Substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a more caramelized look and flavor.

Palm Done Right - A new way of growing and harvesting

10/23/2017

Comments

 
Picture
We've all heard about the negative impacts of palm harvesting...
Deforestation, endangered animals brought to the brink of extinction, and air pollution due to peat fires, to name a few.
Palm Done Right seeks to bring an end to these practices with a new philosophy on growing palm trees and harvesting its oil. 
What is Palm Oil?
Palm oil comes from the fruit of the African oil palm, Elaesis Guineensis, one of the two main fruit-bearing tropical palm species (the other being Cocos Nucifera, which produces coconuts). Oil palms begin producing fruit once they're 3-4 years old, yet will continue to grow and produce year-round for up to forty years. As the oil palm grows, it sends out a new set of leaves from the tip of the trunk, which then forms flowers that turn into fruit clusters (in industry terms, these are called fresh fruit bunches, or FFB). 
Picture
 What is Palm Oil Used For? 
The main reason that lead to the negative attributes surrounding Palm Oil is from its versatility and high demand.

The oil from the kernel is pressed separately from the the pulp, and has a higher saturated fat content. That, along with its high lauric acid content, makes palm kernel oil perfect for soaps, household cleaning products, personal care products and cosmetics. When the pulp of the fruit is pressed, the result is unrefined red palm oil, which is high in antioxidants and beta-Carotenes, and has a mid-range smoke point and nutty taste that make it a terrific cooking oil for baking, sautéing and medium heat frying.

But there are good reasons palm is so popular, and good reasons for choosing palm over other oils:
​
  • At room temperature, palm oil naturally has the texture and plasticity of hydrogenated corn or soy oils without the hydrogenation that forms harmful trans.
  • It’s resistant to oxidation and rancidity, and can extend the shelf life of other ingredients in a product.
  • It can take high heat without oxidizing.
  • It doesn’t have the greasy mouthfeel that other vegetable oils do.
  • It blends well with other vegetable oils.
  • It provides an alternative to butter for vegans and vegetarians.
  • Red palm oil contains high concentrations of antioxidants, including carotenoids and tocotrienol compounds of the Vitamin E complex.
  • It can improve the functionality of natural soaps and other cleaning products.
  • It’s a sustainable alternative to petroleum ingredients in cosmetics.
  • It’s a great emollient in lotions and balms.
Picture
What's the Solution?
​Traceability and Accountability:
The first step toward a solution started with RSPO, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The RSPO was founded in 2004 in response to the rampant destruction by palm done wrong. Stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry—from producers to consumer goods manufacturers to non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—came together to develop a set of standards that they believed would set the global supply chain of palm oil on the path to sustainability.
RSPO offers four levels of certification with varying degrees of traceability.
Picture
Of these, only the Identity Preserved level is fully traceable, which means full accountability at each step of the process. Within the past decade, though, a handful of companies have chosen to go beyond  RSPO Identity Preserved to create truly sustainable, organic, fair trade palm oil traceable throughout the supply chain.
