Researchers reveal that Basil contains varieties of essential oils that are rich in polyphenolic and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids and anthocyanins.

One of the key benefits of Basil is the ability to help fight free radical damage while protecting DNA structure and cells. Basil contains two important water-soluble flavonoid antioxidants, known as orientin and viceninare, which help protect white blood cells responsible for immune function, as well as cellular structures where DNA is stored.

Antioxidants found in Basil keep chromosomes from becoming altered and resulting in cell mutations and cancerous cell growth.

Dill, scientifically known as Anethum Graveolens, has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. Both its seeds and the leaves can be used. Apart from giving a strong, tangy, appetizing flavor and taste, it has many medicinal properties, which mainly come from certain compounds called monoterpenes, as well as flavonoids, minerals and certain amino acids.

As for vitamins and minerals, it has a significant amount of Vitamin A and C, as well as trace amounts of folate, iron, and manganese.

Both the leaves and the flowers of Dill are filled with nutrients and vital medicinal compounds. Fresh leaves of anethum graveolens contain Vitamins such as Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B9, B12 and Vitamin C.

Hippophae is a genus of Sea-Buckthorns, deciduous shrubs in the family Elaeagnaceae. The name Sea-Buckthorn may be hyphenated to avoid confusion with the Buckthorns (Rhamnus, family Rhamnaceae). It is also referred to as Sandthorn, Sallowthorn, or Seaberry.

Hippophae Rhamnoides, the common Sea-Buckthorn, is by far the most widespread of the species in the genus, with the ranges of its eight subspecies extending from the Atlantic coasts of Europe across to northwestern Mongolia and northwestern China.

First of all, the Sea-Buckthorn berries are sweesed in juices and whan berries flash is dried in an oven until they become crunchy.

Organic Sea-Buckthorn berries offer powerful antioxidant support for wide range of health conditions including cell mutation, skin disorders, weak immune system, burns and wounds, and degenerative diseases. Sea-Buckthorn Berries are rich in some of the most rare antioxidants in the world.

The antioxidant strength of our Organic Sea-Buckthorn Berries is in part due to the berry’s high levels of Vitamin C, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds, which assist the body in preventing harmful toxins from invading and destroying healthy cells. Sea-Buckthorn berries can protect the skin from premature aging and reduce the effects of environmental pollution.

Sea-Buckthorn Juice (Hippophae Rhamnoides), the common Sea Buckthorn, is by far the most widespread of the species in the genus, with the ranges of its eight subspecies extending from the Atlantic coasts of Europe across to northwestern Mongolia and northwestern China.

Sea-Buckthorn  branches are stiff and thorny, while the leaves are of a long, thin, silver color. The berries of Sea-Buckthorn, however, are small, orange, and only found on female plants.

When the berries are pressed, the resulting Sea-Buckthorn Juice separates into three layers: on top is a thick, orange cream, in the middle, a layer containing Sea-Buckthorn's characteristic high content of saturated and polyunsaturated fats, and the bottom layer is sediment and juice. Containing fat sources applicable for cosmetic purposes, the upper two layers can be processed for skin creams and liniments, whereas the bottom layer can be used for edible products such as syrup.

In ancient times, leaves and young branches from sea buckthorn were supposedly fed as a remedy to horses to support weight gain and appearance of the coat, thus leading to the name of the genus, Hippophae derived from Hippo (Horse), and Phaos (Shining).

The Juice from Buckthorn berries has been found to be extremely valuable in the reduction of cancer, or slowing down its spread. The organic components of Buckthorn berry have a high antioxidant content, which helps to neutralize free radicals, the dangerous byproducts of cellular metabolism. However, in the case of Sea-Buckthorn berry Juice, the anti-cancer abilities cause cell-cycle arrest, so cancer cannot progress, however, it doesn’t induce apoptosis, like many other antioxidant substances.

Almost 70% of Avocado oil consists of heart-healthy oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. This fatty acid is also the main component of Olive oil, and believed to be partly responsible for its health benefits.

Additionally, around 12% of avocado oil is saturated fat and about 13% is polyunsaturated fat. While Avocado oil has a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (13:1), this shouldn't be of concern as the total amount of omega-6 is relatively low.

As well as its high Vitamin C content, Rose Petals contains a large amount of polyphenols along with several other antioxidants like quercetin and ellagic acid.

Polyphenols are natural antioxidants which are well known for their ability to repair cellular damage and protect the body against serious illnesses including heart disease, bone weakness and cancer (To be used as tea).

There isn't any real nutritional difference between shredded Coconut and Flaked Coconut - they're both made by the same process, but Flaked Coconut comes as larger pieces.

Black Tea and Green Tea is removed from the same tree.  Camellia Sinensis Assamica is a larger-leafed varietal of the tea plant that is typically used to produce black Tea. Originating in the Assam district of India, it grows in warm, moist climates and is prolific in sub-tropical forests.

Camellia Sinensis Sinensis is a smaller-leafed variety native to China that is typically used to make green and White Teas. It evolved as a shrub growing in sunny regions with drier, cooler climates. It thrives in mountainous regions because it has a high tolerance for cold.

What makes Black Tea different from Green Tea is that during the production process, the Tea leaves are allowed to fully oxidize before they are heat-processed and dried.

During oxidation, oxygen interacts with the Tea plant’s cell walls to turn the leaves the rich dark brown to black color that black tea leaves are famous for. Oxidation alters the flavor profile of a Black Tea as well, helping add malty, fruity or even smoky notes, depending on the Tea.
