Organic Karashi mustard powder from our friends @t

Organic Karashi mustard powder from our friends @thejapanesepantry! Yamasei’s mustard powder is made from stone ground organic Barukan mustard seeds. To retain the mustard flavor, Yamasei takes great care when removing the oil and grinding the seeds to a paste which is then dried into a powder. Use sparingly (instructions on bag) to add spicy mustard flavor to your dishes!

New from our friends @thejapanesepantry! Takehisa’s shiitake powder is made using mushrooms that slowly grow in the forest during the colder months resulting in more intense flavor and umami. Think of porcini powder but with a more woodsy, earthy flavor. Use to add a deep umami flavor and depth to your broths, stir fries, roasts or as marinade when salting meats. Sold by the pouch!

This should brighten this gloomy day! Of the three

This should brighten this gloomy day! Of the three major types of blood oranges, ‘Moro’ are said to be the most colorful and intensely flavored. Due to a genetic mutation, the red-crimson color comes from an antioxidant called anthocyanin typically not found in oranges. We’re thinking sliced thin for crudo, olive oil cake, winter chicory salad with goat cheese, seasonal cocktails…. 🍊🍊
