Build a Better Gift Basket

To build a basket full of food for kickstarting the day, grab a pack of our creamy banana or tart apple breakfast grains, some top-shelf organic maple syrup, our organic Hawaii’an honey, and a jar of organic walnut butter. For a special morning, here’s a great recipe for pancakes using our breakfast grains. Oh, and don’t forget a bag of whole-bean organic coffee. Never forget the coffee.

For this healthy food basket idea, give a collection of nutritious, responsibly sourced seafoods. Start with our sampler pack of EU Organic tinned mussels, which help clean the cold, clear waters off Galicia, Spain. Add our Roasted Garlic Spanish White Anchovies and our Spanish Paprika Mackerel, both harvested using techniques that reduce bycatch. For salmon lovers, include a box of lightly smoked wild sockeye harvested in thriving, placebased fisheries. Give ‘em some food for thought by including a copy of Paul Greenberg’s book The Omega Principle, an eye-opening investigation of omega-3 fatty acids and the secrets to longevity.

Hikers, mountain bikers, fly fishers, skiiers and, heck, toddlers all agree—you can never have enough healthy snacks. For a trail-themed gift basket, stock it with on-the-go goodies. For a spicy sweet treat, add a bag or two of dried Chile Mango slices. To round out this most snackable gift basket, include a bag of toasted, intensely flavorful Golden Herb Walnuts and a jar of Chargeboss Clusters—cashew and cacao-nib nuggets packed with superfood energy.

Holidays, no matter which you celebrate, mean big gatherings of your favorite people. Feeding those gatherings is about a million times easier and more fun with a big selection of delicious, healthy, responsibly produced appetizers. A spread like this helps fix our broken food chain at the same time, so what’s not to love? Start with a filet of lightly smoked Wild Pink Salmon. Pair that with some fresh goat cheese and crackers, plus tangy pickles – that’ll surprise them! Add tins of Lemon Olive Spanish White Anchovies and bags of salted cashews, and top the whole thing off with seasonal fruits like dried cranberries and long-lasting fresh pomegranates. Slip in one of our limited-supply natural wines or sparkling hard ciders, and you’ll have everything you need for a party, all in one basket.

We have everything you need to delight the vegan in your life with a plant-based buffet. Start with our Tsampa Soup, a hearty and savory soup mix based on roasted barley, a mainstay of Tibetan culture (and climbing). Add some Spicy Red Bean Chili, great at home or at camp, and a few Organic Savory Grains, a mix of fluffy, nutty grains that are high in protein and a delicious foundation for an easy dinner. A bag of organic popcorn is always a fun treat, and, for a fascinating read to go with the popcorn, include a copy of The Lentil Underground, a book that tells the story of renegade Montana farmers growing lentils in defiance of Big Ag.
