Veggies, veggies, veggies! We love some, we hate some, we can't get enough in our tum! This month’s product spotlight goes to Dr. Cowan’s amazing vegetable powders. Yes fresh from your garden is best, but when we need a quick antioxidant pinch to our food, his powders do the trick. Many supplement powders have little to know nutrient density. They have a shelf life of several years and most are found to be stored in a plastic container. There are a few reputable brands that can be found in dark glass containers, which is always a better option, but how long have they been on the shelf? Oxidation takes place every second! You cut an apple in half and leave it on the table - the apple turns brown. So how are Dr. Cowan's powders different?
“The vegetables are harvested at peak flavor and quality and dehydrated on low heat, around 120 degrees. Low-heat dehydration retains most of the vitamin and mineral content of the vegetables. The greens are steamed before drying to release anti-nutrients, and the beets, pumpkins and winter squash are cooked to maximize flavor and digestibility. Once dried, the vegetables are ground into powders and transferred to Miron violet-glass jars as soon as possible. The unique properties of the Miron jars don't allow any visible light to pass through; only the invisible parts of light -- UV-A and infrared -- are allowed in. This is significant because the sensitive substances within are protected against the aging processes that are released by visible light, thus enhancing both their potency and durability. Stored in Miron jars, the vegetable powders will be nutritionally potent for months.”


You can easily add some diversity to your eggs, casseroles, soups and salads with antioxidant rich powders. Great addition to your children's smoothies or food as well. <3
