Featured Ingredients

Parsley is not just for decoration! It’s a super nutrient-dense food and a top food source of vitamin K, providing 205% DV per ¼ cup serving. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, bone metabolism, cellular function and more.

Whether you love or hate cilantro depends on what version of the OR6A2 gene you have.  This is a gene that codes olfactory receptor proteins, enhancing sensitivity to certain chemicals.  If you are one of the unlucky ~ 3-21% of people who have a strong negative reaction to cilantro, crushing the leaves may help relieve the issue.

Garlic is the top food source of thiosulfinates, which are sulfur-containing compounds responsible for diverse health benefits including powerful anticancer properties as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic effects.
