Spring evolves.

 Awesome spring stuff in now–stay tuned for morel updates on some very cool new things we’re adding to our extensive collection of artisinal dry goods.

 

Now in:  Soom Tahini is here, and we’re excited.  We were skeptical at first that one tahini was really much different from the next, but when Ana Sortun suggests we try it, we listen.  This rich, creamy tahini is really something else.  The flavor is much cleaner, and perhaps that’s because the sesame seeds are the best of the lot, direct imported from Ethiopia.  But the texture truly sets it apart: rather then settling into a mortar-like paste topped with a layer of oil, this tahini stays smooth and mostly emulsified, which means you can spontaneously reach for it anytime you want to use it, and it’s approximately a thousand times easier to make sauces from it.  It’s also very reasonably priced, and comes in 1# jars.  You need this, you just don’t know it yet.

Also in: #thegrainproject continues.  In addition to stone-ground heirloom grits and cornmeal, we now have Maine Grains bringing us the best grains grown in Maine: wheat, rye, triticale, and buckwheat.  Additional varieties are available, too.  All inquiries: call and speak with Alison.

Remember: grains are produce, too.
