bulk elderberry, whole
Whole ripe elderberries, which have gone from green to reddish purple to almost black, have long been used to make pies, pastries, jams, jellies, wine, cordials and syrup. The dried berries are also added to tea blends.
bulk jasmine flower, whole
Jasmine flower is excellent in teas, especially when combined with other floral ingredients. Also used to make infusions to produce floral water (hydrosols) for soap, shampoo, lotions and other products for hair and skin.
bulk hibiscus flower, cut & sifted
Hibiscus' brightly colored blooms are typically dried for use in making teas and other beverages, including alcoholic cocktails. But don't overlook other culinary possibilities—sprinkle the dried flowers into soups and custards or mix into bread dough before baking.
foil proof camping meals
People have been cooking outdoors for as long as humans first learned to harness fire. In fact, in terms of human evolution, cooking in a modern indoor kitchen is a relatively new trend only made possible by technological innovations that reasonably eliminate the risk of burning down the house. Still, we often return to our early gastronomic habits when we take the party outdoors and fire up the barbecue.
