Numi Organic Tea; Organic Emperor’s Pu-Erh, Basil Mint Pu-Erh

Pu·erh (pū-ĕr) is an ancient healing tea picked from 500 year old organic wild tea trees in the majestic mountains of China's Yunnan province. Pu·erh’s history began over 2000 years ago when tea was transported along five Tea Horse Roads, the first and most traveled road beginning in the village of Pu Erh. In order to maximize their load, merchants compressed the tea, and to their surprise, the tea tasted better at the journey’s end and yielded additional health benefits. 

Pu·erh is processed differently than traditional white, green, oolong, and black teas. Pu·erh undergoes a unique fermenting process: once picked, the leaves are piled, dampened, and turned, over a 60-day period. The tea is then dried and ready to be compressed into bricks for additional aging, or left as loose tea, which Numi uses in its tea bags. The resulting taste is rich and smooth with hints of malt - a great alternative to coffee. Numi is first to bring you this revolutionary healthy tea in tea bags. 16ct, Reg. $7.99

Urban Cheesecraft DIY Cheese-Making Kits; Mozzarella & Ricotta, Goat (Chevre)

Making fresh cheese is a great introduction to a time-honored food craft, and one that provides instantly enjoyable results you will be proud to serve and share. Home-crafted cheese is simple to make and requires no specialized equipment—it’s easy to get started with just fresh milk and a basic cheese-making kit. Whether you use grocery-bought or dairy-delivered milk, you can be sure that homemade cheese will contain no artificial ingredients, taste more flavorful and cost a fraction of the price of commercially produced varieties.

Portland-based Urban Cheesecraft's cheese-making kits provide most of the materials needed (milk not included) to produce 10 batches of homemade mozzarella and ricotta or fresh goat's chevre in no time. The kits include thermometers, rennet, citric acid, salt, cheesecloth, molds, recipes, and instructions. Simply purchase cow or goat's milk, and in about an hour, you'll be eating your very own cheese!

Cup4Cup Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour

Chef Lena Kwak has taken pleasure in cooking for others since she was a child. When she moved across the country from her native New York to work in the kitchen of The French Laundry, she knew she had found a new home. Driven by an interest in nutritional science, she developed a gluten-free flour that offered a successful alternative to the main ingredient of the various quick breads and dessert items The French Laundry served. This flour is now available as Cup4Cup, a name that reflects its ability to replace all-purpose flour in most recipes, “cup for cup.” Cup4Cup is made from all natural, 100% gluten-free ingredients, including cornstarch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, milk powder, tapioca flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum, and is produced independently in a dedicated and Celiacs Sprue Association- certified gluten-free facility.

The Mill King Low Temp Pasteurized Texas Milk; Skim, Whole

The Mill King is a family run farm that has been in operation for three generations in the Crawford/McGregor (Texas) area.

A combination of handpicked Holsteins, Brown Swiss, and Jerseys produce Mill King's milk, which is rich with cream, but also smooth for drinking.

Montes Twins Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Meet the Twins: a masterstroke of varietal blending from Chile's winemaking legend, Aurelio Montes. On their own, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon shine, but when paired up, these two classic varieties complement each other perfectly. It's a sensational double bill: smooth, velvety texture from the Malbec with wonderful richness, structure and fruit from the Cabernet. Part Malbec, part Cabernet, adding up to a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. Oak aging contributes subtle notes of vanilla and liqueur and its soft tannins provide an specially elegant finish. The artwork on the label is by Ralph Steadman. 750ml, Reg. $11.99

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! 

New Bulk Fruits from Tierra Farm

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 fruits! Tierra Farm is a small, privately owned, certified organic producer and 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 without refined sugar and is sulfite-free. Look for the following new fruits in our Bulk department in tubs bearing Wheatsville’s own brand, now proudly carrying the USDA Organic seal:

Wildbrine Sauerkrauts; Arame & Ginger, Madras Curry & Cauliflower, Horseradish Kim Chi

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

 

Baby Zach's Spicy Smoked Red Bean Hummus

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.

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

Himalania Pink Himalayan Rock Salt with Grater

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.

Kosmic Kombucha 

Wheatsville’s Pear of the Dog, GroovyGreen
