We’ve been moving things around again

Yup, we’ve been moving things around again in the grocery aisles. This time we shuffled the oil, vinegar, salad dressings and condiments. Next time you plan to shop for these sorts of pantry staples (since you’re probably eating out less these days, a well-stocked pantry is a necessity), make sure you give yourself time to scan the shelves carefully since we’ve introduced some really interesting and healthful products. And don’t forget to check out the very top and very bottom shelves.
I discovered that we now carry Hemp oil! No, you can’t get high on hemp oil. But your body will thank you for consuming it. Hemp oil is a great source of essential fatty acids. It contains a well-balanced ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats. Hemp is also a good source of GLA and vitamin E which are both good for skin health. Try hemp oil drizzled on steamed vegetables, in salad dressing or as a dipping oil for bread. Its subtle, nutty flavor also goes well with pasta and bulghur. If you don’t care for the flavor, you can add it to your morning smoothie. Just don’t cook with hemp oil as the polyunsaturated fats are fragile so should not be heated.
