OMghee is handmade in the U.S. in small batches and offers a
reliable way for anyone eschewing dairy to avoid missing out on
the benefits of organic, pastured butter. Think conjugated linoleic
acid (CLA) and vitamins A, D, E and K, plus that toasted, savory
flavor everyone loves in butter—only now it’s Paleo.

North Pole Caveman Cookies
Just in time for the holidays, the newest flavor from The
Caveman Bakery pays homage to Old Saint Nick with a
peppermint-and-chocolate cookie. Made with organic honey,
maple syrup, almond meal, unsulfured coconut, raw cacao
powder, pure peppermint extract and cardamom, these cookies
have the signature texture we’ve come to expect from Caveman
Cookies, in just the right size. Chocolate and mint are common
pairings in the world of desserts, but this time cardamom adds
an unexpected snap of spice.

Incorporating bitterness into your diet is one way to align
modern life with the best practices of our hunter-gatherer
ancestors. Thanks to Urban Moonshine, a company that
produces small-batch organic bitters, the flavors of the wild are
now accessible. Bringing herbal medicine “out of the cupboard
and onto the counter” is the goal of Urban Moonshine, and with
intriguing products like Organic Maple Bitters and the Organic
Joy Tonic, this Burlington, Vermont-based outfit has certainly
piqued our interest.
