Fourth and Heart's grass-fed ghee is clarified butter that has been cooked down for hours. It then turns into a beautiful golden color and creates a sweet, caramel, nutty smell. Original ghee has a delicious, rich smell but tastes just like butter—just a little better. 
<p>
Ghee alone is an excellent alternative to butter for those who are lactose-intolerant yet still crave the taste of butter, without the disadvantages of processed margarines. Unlike other oils, it's rich in butyric acid, a short chain fatty acid that's great for your overall health and digestion. Aside from its many health perks, ghee’s buttery taste makes it an excellent addition to your every day cooking oils as it has a high smoke point and imparts crazy delicious flavor to everything it touches.

Toasted Sesame Oil 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.
