Fresh ground spices are good for us in so many ways. Chili peppers are analgesics, helping to relieve pain, and they also fight cancer and promote a healthy heart. Cinnamon helps to lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar, while turmeric and ginger reduce inflammation. Herbs like thyme, oregano and garlic are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, warding off illness and giving a boost to your antioxidant levels. It’s no wonder these are all used in comfort foods – and flexible food packaging makes it possible to enjoy them dried, ground and processed at their purest.
Next time you add herbs or spices to one of your home-cooked meals, make sure they come in tear-resistant, re-sealable foil pouches. That way, you know your family is getting all the nutrients they can from these health-boosting ingredients! And if people ask what your secret weapon is, just say it’s all in the packaging.
