Detox your taste buds

MSG and Salad Dressings

Whether your starting a new lifestyle or keeping up with the current one i.e. keeping healthy, eating right, and exercising. Detoxing can keep your taste buds clean. What do I mean by clean? Well, some people do not know the difference between MSG seasoning, loads of artificial flavoring and colors in their food. In order to detect these chemicals in your food, you must have keen taste buds. Detoxing is the way to build super receptors on your tongue that will help you determine the quality and purity of your food. Just give it a try, its a very cool trick and you have nothing to lose.

# 1 How to get started

Eliminate eating all fast foods. Fast foods are the #1 carriers of MSG, artificial flavor and color. Check your cupboard or pantry for any products that have artificial flavoring, colors, and MSG. When you find them, throw them out. You can donate food but if I wouldn't personally eat these products I would not give them to anyone.

Difference between Salts

Difference between Salts
The difference between Table Salt, Cooking salt, and Rock Salt.

We just started carrying Rock Salt for our customers who are interested and also for conscious eaters like myself and Thomas. We have been using rock salt for a couples years now. If you are pondering what the taste is, well, it taste like salt.

There is no difference in taste other than if your salt is marinated. Like our teas, the salt is coming from our farmer who is located in the same Flachgau region in Austria. GMO is not allowed in Austria as this is a very important factor.

The herbs used in our Herb Salt are organic and grown by the moon.
