did you know that a third of the honey traded internationally is either adulterated or completely fake? 😱 yikes!
real honey is a beautiful balance of nature and patience. beekeepers need to work with the bees, not disturb their natural process, to bring us the good stuff. 🌻🐝 but here’s the kicker - there’s actually more honey being sold than the world’s bees can make. 🤔
fake honey is often made from high-fructose corn syrup, glucose, rice, cane, or beet syrup. and guess where most of it comes from? China, the world’s biggest honey exporter. 🏭
processing honey can strip it of its nutrients, leaving you with a jar of sugary nonsense. 😔 that’s why it’s so important to buy raw local honey, and yes, it might cost a little more, but it’s worth every penny! 🏅
and a quick tip: avoid any honey labeled as a “blend.” that’s usually a red flag. 🚩

support local, and enjoy the pure goodness of real honey! 🍯✨

why we LOVE dates! 🍬🌿

dates are one of my go-to natural sweeteners! 🤤 whether I’m blending them into desserts or enjoying them stuffed with nut butter and sea salt, they’re a delicious, wholesome treat.

you’ll find dates in many of our desserts (ask us for our dessert menu!) and in our Date and H**p Artisanal Granola. Medjool dates are naturally sweet, chewy, and packed with fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. the fiber helps regulate blood sugar, making them a much healthier option compared to refined sweeteners.

I love pairing them with protein and healthy fats for balanced snacks that satisfy and nourish. a sweet treat that’s good for you? yes, please! 🤍

do you also love dates? share your favorite way to enjoy them!

did you know olive oil is one of the most faked products in the world? 🫒🍶😲

authentic olive oil, typically from farms in Spain, Italy, or Greece, is one of the priciest cooking oils, with a 17-ounce bottle selling for over $10. but not all olive oil is what it seems! 🌍

some sellers fill bottles with cheap oils like soybean or vegetable oil, or they mix lower-grade olive oils and still label them as “extra-virgin.” if you see labels like “virgin,” “olive oil blend,” or “light olive oil” — that’s a red flag! and if a bottle costs around $3, it’s probably not the real deal. 🧐

here’s a pro tip: always check the pressed-on date. if it’s more than two years old, the oil may have lost its flavor. real extra-virgin olive oil has a fresh, fruity, and grassy smell. if it smells like nothing or rancid, chances are it’s fake. 🚫

crazy fact: the fraudulent food industry is estimated to be worth a staggering $40 BILLION globally! 💸😖

have you ever been fooled by fake olive oil? let us down below! 👇👀 and if this post was helpful give us a thumbs up! 🤗

figs are not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits, whether you enjoy them fresh or dried! 🤩

they’re rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them a healthy choice for any snack or meal 👌🏻but a quick tip—figs are a bit delicate 🫣, so it’s best to buy them a day or two before you plan to eat them to avoid food waste. look for figs that are plump and tender, not mushy, and keep them in the fridge, covered, to maintain their freshness.

for the ancient greeks, figs were one of the sacred foods associated with fertility and love 👩‍❤️‍👨 ohh yeah! 😋beyond their history, figs are fantastic for digestion, help decrease constipation (thanks to being a fantastic source of prebiotics), and can help in managing blood fat and blood sugar levels.

plus, can we talk about how cute they are? 😍 their unique shape and vibrant color make them the perfect fruit to style ANY fruit platter or charcuterie board🌟

what’s your go-to food for decorating your platters? ❤️I’d love to hear your favorites! 👀

happy Sunday pantry organizing, everyone! 🧡

here’re your next pantry hacks:

☀️maximize vertical space: use stackable shelves or risers to maximize vertical space in your pantry. this allows you to see and access items stored on higher shelves more easily.

☀️ rotate stock: practice the “first in, first out” rule by rotating older items to the front and placing newer purchases behind them. this helps prevent food waste by ensuring older items get used before they expire.

☀️ here’s a nice tip: whenever you transfer food to containers, add the expiry or best-by date on a piece of tape (remember that these two are different!!!) and stick it on the container. this helps me keep track and use the contents in time avoiding food waste!

☀️ when the container is getting low, let it empty completely before refilling it. never add new food on top of the old. my recommendation: finish what’s in the container, wipe it clean (very important!), and then refill it with fresh product to ensure you’re always restocking with the freshest food.

how to tell it’s real?! 🤔

many vanilla products like🍦and 🍪 likely use imitation by just saying “natural flavours” on the ingredient list. the real one will list “vanilla bean extractives.” also, take a look and a whiff👃🏻– the real one has a stronger smell due to the alcohol and is much cloudier than the fake one.

💡real vs fake vanilla:

did you know that only 1% of vanilla products worldwide are genuine? 😲 most authentic vanilla originates from Madagascar. producing real vanilla is laborious and expensive. in the US, numerous brands sell imitation versions crafted using lab-made vanilla, derived from petroleum or compounds found in clove oil, wood, and bark 😓. these are permissible as long as “artificial flavoring” is disclosed on the packaging 😦. in Mexico, some items labeled as “vainilla” were created from tonka tree beans, which contain a toxic substance called coumarin, banned in the US 🚫

😃identifying real vanilla:

👉🏻examine the ingredient list: authentic vanilla will list “vanilla bean extractives.”
👉🏻assess its appearance and scent: real vanilla boasts a more robust aroma due to the alcohol and appears cloudier than its counterfeit counterpart.

p.s. the vanilla extract we use in our artisanal granolas is THE REAL THING! 🤩🔥

Big news! 🎉 Starting tomorrow, our artisanal granolas will be available at the BCTO studio. Made with love and the finest ingredients, these crunchy treats are perfect for your morning boost or a tasty snack. Come by and try them out—you won’t want to miss this! 🌾🥣
