The dog days of summer have definitely hit,
but we’ve still got plenty of exciting new stuff finding its way onto our
shelves. Bulk organic jak fruit, Andouille-spiked hummus, and Groovy Green
kombucha are just a few of the delightful fun finds we’ve added recently. Read
on for more about everything that’s new
at Wheatsville this week!
In
the past, much of the bulk fruit sold here at Wheatsville was repacked in-house
into smaller, retail-sized packages than those in which it shipped. This meant
that although we were using organic foods in many cases, they could not be
labeled as such due to the potential of their organic integrity to be
compromised during the re-packaging process.
Enter,
Tierra
Farm, our newest source
for high quality and great tasting 100% certified organic nuts, seeds and dried

roasting company in upstate New York. All of Tierra's roasting, mixing and
flavoring is conducted in-house, in their own certified organic, peanut-free
roasting and processing facility. Tierra Farm’s dried fruit is sweetened

Wildbrine
products are made with a new twist on the time-honored process of brining and
fermenting foods. Fermentation is a natural, traditional method of preserving the
harvest that maintains the health benefits of raw food, boosting its
nutritional value and delivering deliciously complex and balanced flavors!
Sauerkraut is high in vitamin C and digestive enzymes, and provides a high-density
source of a wide range of beneficial live bacteria, which assist in the
digestive process.
Wildbrine’s
Arame & Ginger Sauerkraut combines nutrient dense sea-vegetables with just
the right amount of fresh ginger and organic green cabbage to deliver the
classic tart taste expected in high-quality sauerkraut. The umami-flavor of
miso and the earthy heat of horseradish are lightened by a bright citrus note
in the refreshing Horseradish Kimchi; the Madras Curry Cauliflower is a zesty
combination of vibrant Madras curry, crisp cabbage, and cauliflower fermented
into a savory, eastern-inspired sauerkraut. All
are 100% natural and wild-fermented, without the use of vinegar! 18oz, Reg. $6.99
Austin-born
Baby Zach’s utilizes a trade secret “Agitative Baking Process” to evenly smoke
hummus flavors with real apple wood, shunning the use of liquid smoke. Forgoing
the traditional garbanzo bean base that constitutes most hummus, Baby Zach's
newest offering is a Red Bean Hummus spiked judiciously with Cajun Andouille
seasoning. Paprika, chili pepper, and cayenne impart a piquant zip that will be
a standout smeared along the insides of your next Po'Boy, or simply scooped up
straight from the tub. 8oz, Reg. $3.49
Quorn,
the best-selling frozen meat-free brand in the world, has added frozen burritos
to their range of meat-free, soy-free products. Stuffed with tidbits of Quorn's
wildly popular "tenders", these burritos offer on-the-go convenience
for those looking for a meaty texture without soy protein. Two savory combos,
Chik’n & Tomato Roasted Corn Salsa and Chipotle Lime Chik’n & Bean, are
sure to be a hit. Quorn burritos are free of GMO's and eight major allergens.
6oz, Reg. $3.29
Himalania’s
Pink Salt comes from the foothills of the Himalayas where, millions of years
ago, a primordial sea was evaporated by the sun, leaving pristine crystalline
salt. Today, this crystal salt, buried deep in the Himalayan Mountains, is
mined and processed gently by hand to bring you a salt that retains the
original qualities of this ancient body of water. Its richness in minerals
confers a unique speckled pink color, and its subtle crunch makes it a favorite
finishing salt. A handy grater allows the rose-hued salt rocks to be grated as
needed.
7oz, Reg. $11.99
Newman’s
Own Organics introduces the first sour licorice twist made with organic
ingredients. Licorice twists are the most popular kind of licorice candy and
the organic sugar and sour crystals, derived from natural citrus sources, on
the surface of the twists provides the special taste for three tantalizing new
flavors: Strawberry, Sour Mango and Sour Apple. 5oz, Reg. $2.49

In 2008, the
students and teachers of Breath and Body Yoga were introduced to a locally
brewed kombucha and instantly became fans of the ancient elixir. When the local
brewer stopped production, a group of yogis decided to fill the void, and
Kosmic Kombucha was born. Kosmic Kombucha is brewed in Austin with organic
ingredients and fresh produce from local markets. In May of this year, Kosmic
finally debuted a line of new 16oz flavors; two late additions to the line have
now made their way onto our shelves: Groovy Green and Wheatsville's Own Pear of
the Dog made especially for us! Groovy Green features a blend of kiwi,
pineapple, coconut, wheatgrass and agave-- perfect to get your morning started.
Pear of the Dog is a pucker-ey concoction of prickly pear, orange, lime, and
olive juice, rounded off with a touch of agave and sea salt. 16oz, Reg. $3.59
