A staggering 68% of the global population is iodine deficient. But there’s an easy, delicious way to get your daily dose of iodine with Spicewell! Spicewell Salt products are enriched with iodine sourced naturally from kelp (seaweed), along with over twenty essential vitamins and minerals.

Why use a kelp iodized salt vs a chemically iodized salt? Simple answer is ABSORPTION! Our bodies absorb 80% of the iodine from kelp and only 20% from a lab created iodine. Why? Because our human cells prefer natural compounds occurring in nature, over synthetic salt / iodine made in a lab. Think about Farm2Me’s mission: naturally occurring products are absorbed better by the cells of our body (organic sugar over synthetic sugar-free sweeteners) — and in this case 80% (Seaweed’s Iodine) to 20% (Lab Made Salt’s Iodine) absorption by cells.

Why is this important? Iodine is crucial to metabolism, turned into Thyroxine in your Thyroid, Iodine is an element used in Thyroxine and other hormones created by the Thyroid gland as part of metabolism (cell growth) and cellular digestion. Think about people with Hypothyroidism (under performing Thyroid gland), which means less Thyroxine produced (less Iodine) — these patients have a problem with their metabolism (low metabolism without Thyroxine means they gain weight, are groggy and tired, lower energy). Many of us don’t think about the difference between 1 ingredient from another, 1 tomato from another, 1 salt from another. But there is a difference! 80% absorption vs 20% absorption.

This has been our mission at Farm2Me — to help consumers understand that — to increase knowledge about this, improve access to more natural / transparent / organic products found locally rather than chemically grown or lab produced over processed (ultra processed products like snacks and drinks and baked goods plaguing the grocery stores).

Whether you’re adding a pinch of Spicewell’s superfood salt to your dish or seasoning with Spicewell’s turmeric-infused pepper, you’re supporting your health in every bite.

Certainly! Here's the revised version with corrected punctuation:

Any Farm2Me maker, anywhere in the world, is my culinary challenge (I like to look for the strangest products and produce I can find). It’s how I engage with the emerging artisans who are putting out their families' traditions in the food they produce and grow. The variety of products I come across, from cultures all over the world, is what makes my dinner party.

I understand that it can feel hard knowing when something is truly small batch and sustainable, but that’s what we’re here for. We want to educate you, so you have our 14 years of context, plus keep you informed on the latest launches and emerging products, so your dinner parties stand out. The goal is to reach you to weed out the pretty packages stuffed with Kellogg’s-brand ingredients and keep your guests happy. That’s why I’ve compiled my tricks to help you navigate the variety of products and greens you’re about to explore — and rethink your approach to your favorite recipes (which can be swapped out with any product, and still taste new).

Savor your recipe and product adventure! It’s not the steps of mastering a recipe that counts, it’s the ingredients you use. And look for the ugliest packaging, produced in the smallest towns, and cleanest ingredient list to help you decide what will taste best. That’s 101. Then search it on Farm2Me and see if we’ve vetted them on our site. If not, submit the product while your grocery shopping and someone from our team will vet in 5 mins or less.

With culinary regards, Farm2Me

1) EAT WHATS MADE SEASONALLY

In season caught or grown ingredients are going to have the nutrients you crave - think citrus in summer, raw salads, grilled veggies, cold ice cream and pies, bright colors — it makes sense. Just think about your favorite dishes and find the products that will fit the dish — add an herb or a tinned fish you’ve never added to your charcuterie board.

2) KEEP IT SIMPLE

5 mins of cutting or plating is all a plate should take, top a small dish, use a drizzle of olive oil (not a lot), or drip a few drops of a sauce for people to poke at. That’s all you need. Let the flavor of the product shine! Here’s some tinned fish and olive oils, non-alc cocktails, snacks and others to use to compliment your table. The secret to the best dinner parry is to cater to the different tastes of your guests. The more random mixing and matching — the better!

3) BUT LEAVE ROOM FOR SPONTANEITY

don’t try to match, instead try to clash plateware colors and napkins, ask random guests to help partake, see how one pattern is different from another, one canned product from another. as you experiment, and get better, you’ll be more confident in switching products and flavors for others, adding new ingredients together. 99% of the time it’s in the sauces or salt or dressings you use.

4) START EARLY

Sunshine and golden hour sunsets are your time to let the dishes shine, and you have a limited window to execute - so it makes sense to have snacks and cocktails for people to start with , do that! You’ll thank us. Get the party started before 5pm, or earlier.

5) READ ABOUT THE MAKERS

The farmers and makers have bios on Farm2Me that they curated for you — it’ll help you tell their story and steer the direction of conversations throughout the night. Their stories are so interesting and explain how these products came to be. So dont think you’re weird for understanding the backstory of chorizo or chengdu crunch.

6) ALWAYS BUY SOME FLOWERS

Get a gift for yourself or your partner - succulents, produce plants w/ roots, planters, and cut flowers count. Go for the roots, they’ll last longer than 1 dinner! Changing up your flowers with seasonal flowers will keep you present in your quest for the perfect vibe.

7) IN SEASON SUMMER PRODUCE

Want you to do some math work — go to farmers market and ask for “seconds” (read: products with bruises) and take home product for 75% off or sometimes free. $2.99/LB becomes $0.99/LB. Now go to the grocery store and compare the price of that “Organic” Kale. Thank us later! Bonus: send us what you make and tag us on our Instagram.

Fine & Raw Chocolate was established in 2007 in a notorious Williamsburg, Brooklyn artist loft by Daniel Sklaar. Daniel launched into making small Fine & Raw Chocolate batches and sharing them with friends, Fine & Raw Chocolate wholesale then started delivering them on his bicycle to local purveyors of fine food. It was apparent that the chocolate flavor was so good it was borderline addictive. Fine & Raw Chocolate wholesale grew based on the premise of producing organic, unparalleled quality chocolate and a shear love of the chocolate making process.

The “raw” in Fine & Raw is something of a misnomer. Sklaar and Fine & Raw Chocolate company do roast some of their organic cacao beans under lower temperatures and for longer durations than common in standard high-heat processing. Says Sklaar, “Raw chocolate is an amazing source of antioxidants. We’re basically looking to maintain those while playing with the unique flavor profiles of raw chocolate.” Fine & Raw offers chocolates using both “raw” and combinations of “raw” and conventionally roasted beans.

Fine & Raw Chocolate wholesale manufactures the finest chocolate in the world. Fine & Raw Chocolate wholesale specialize in bean-to-bar, organic chocolate bars and truffles, spreads and well, anything our imaginations can think of it. Fine & Raw Chocolate start by sourcing the worlds finest cacao beans and specialize in clean ingredients lists. Their products are always organic, plant-based and next level.

Fine & Raw Chocolate's first point of sustainability is a radically-transparent cacao supply chain which is focused on quality and direct relationships with cacao farmer! Fine & Raw's cacao is sourced from the highest quality and most ethical suppliers in Ghana and Ecuador. "We ensure that our farmers are paid above fair trade wages, because we believe farmers should have the economic freedom and empowerment to farm organically and develop sustainable land management practices. It is currently estimated that less than 0.5% of cacao beans are organic. By cultivating long-lasting and ethical relationships with suppliers and farmers, we hope to continue providing economic support for the organic cacao industry."
