High quality star anise. The infusion obtained by immersing ground anise seed with boiling water has a very licorice like flavor. This spice, obtained from a member tree of the magnolia family, has a characteristic pungent flavor, lingering and numbing, leaving the palate stimulated and fresh. A cardamom seed, some cloves or even a dash of ginger added to a cup of this tea can transform it into the grand finale of a superb dinner.

Chia sees are an excellent source of protein and fiber, going back to the Aztecs. You can use them in anything, as a sprinkle on top of soup or a salad, or mix into baked goods and smoothies. Great nutrition for the whole family.

Chia seeds are very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, even more so than flax seeds. And chia has another advantage over flax: chia is so rich in antioxidants that chia seeds don’t deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid.
