It’s official: Thrive Market is taking over your pantry in the best possible way. We now offer a variety of wholesome baking ingredients and nutritious grains. It’s the perfect collection for all dietary needs and healthy cravings. Make room in your cupboards and let’s get cooking!
<p>
<p>
<b>ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS? </b>
The new Thrive Market flours and grains are all organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, and contain no added sugars, sweeteners, dyes, or color additives. 
<p>
<b>WHAT IS SPROUTING? </b>
A regular grain is essentially a seed that you could put into the ground and it will become a plant. Sprouting allows these grain seeds to germinate, but then harvests them well before they bloom. In order for a shoot to grow, it digests starch from the seed, using it as energy to break through the outer shell. Therefore sprouted grains are lower in starch, and higher in nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
<p>
<b>WHAT MAKES THRIVE MARKET PRODUCTS UNIQUE? </b>
The concept of sprouting is not a new one, but what is new is access and affordability. A lot of sprouted products are hard to find or too expensive to use regularly, until now. It’s the Thrive Market way: We offer high quality at a low, low price.
<P>
<b>HOW DO I USE THEM?</b>
This collection of baking essentials, sides, and snacks are incredibly versatile. Many of the flours are great for baking breads and sweets, coating fish and or poultry, or thickening soups and gravies. For example, garbanzo bean flour is a good base for savory items, like gluten-free pizza crust or pasta, spelt flour makes perfect pancakes or waffles. And of course, brown rice and quinoa are mealtime favorites— either as a side, or mixed with meat or veggies for the main. Read the back of each package to find new uses and recipes on how to make them.

Organic Garbanzo Beans (Chick Peas) by Eden Foods - Thrive Market

<p>Based in the southern part of Michigan, Eden Foods is an American food producer that specializes in traditional Japanese products, such as buckwheat soba noodles and umeboshi paste. A range of traditional pantry foods, like apple butter and sauerkraut, rounds out their product selection.</p>

<h2>How Eden Foods got started</h2>

<p>Nowadays, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/is-organic-food-better-for-you" target="_blank">organic foods</a> are everywhere, but that wasn’t always the case. In fact, not long ago it was fairly difficult to obtain organic products. Seeing this gap in the market, a group of young entrepreneurs were inspired to come up with a way to provide healthy organic food, and created the Eden Foods Co-op in 1968.</p>

<p>The co-op was an instant success, finding a large following, mainly of students at the University of Michigan in the college town of Ann Arbor. These bohemian scholars (who were weary of unrefined processed foods) would stop by the co-op to pick up organic vegetables and wholesome foods. Soon, Eden Foods became a community of like-minded individuals and the company expanded into a cafeteria, bakery, and bookstore.</p> 

<p>People came to Eden Foods from across the country to see what was going on, and health food stores all around America called the co-op to ask what they were carrying. Not long after, Eden Foods emerged as one of the leaders of organic health foods.</p>

<p>In 1972, the company opened their first warehouse and established relationships with manufacturers overseas. Soon they began importing foods like sea vegetables, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/tea"target="_blank">green teas</a>, rice vinegar, and many other Asian delicacies that were a rarity in America at the time. Even today, not too much has changed with Eden Foods since the ‘70s. Despite production becoming much bigger, the company values and <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/benefits-of-organic-food" target="_blank">the quality of their organic foods</a> has remained the same.</p>

<h2>Why certified organic products are important</h2>

<p>Everything that Eden Foods produces either meets or exceeds the mandated requirements set forth by the <a href="https://www.loribregman.com/" target="_blank">Organic Crop Improvement Association</a>, which provides a qualified equivalent of the USDA organic certification. That means that the food was produced at a farm or by a manufacturer that adheres to a strict set of guidelines, which regulates food preparation using methods that aim to protect your health and the environment by avoiding the use of chemical additives.</p>

<h2>How Eden Foods sources their ingredients</h2>

<p>A large amount of the ingredients Eden Foods uses are <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/what-is-sustainable-farming" target="_blank">grown locally</a> within the state of Michigan or the greater Midwest. However, the ingredients for the Japanese foods they manufacture are imported directly from small local farmers in Japan.</p>

<p>Eden Foods believes in <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/world-fair-trade-day" target="_blank">fair wages for fair work</a>. To that end, they work directly with these farmers to pay them all a sustainable dollar amount for their harvest.</p> 

<h2>Some of the quality products sold by Eden Foods</h2>

<p>Eden Foods makes high quality organic food, and Thrive Market is proud to carry a good handful of their products. If you’re looking for a hearty soup, try adding in Eden Foods Buckwheat Soba Noodles to a broth base. And if you’re looking to jazz up toast, opt for Eden Foods Organic Apple Butter.

These dehydrated flakes have plenty of nutrients and are often used as a topping for <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/soups-chili" target="_blank">soup</a> or salad.</p>
