If you haven't eaten kimchi before, you may have eaten the German fermented relish, sauerkraut. Kimchi is its tastier Korean cousin, made with garlic, ginger and chilli. But it's not only tasty, it's also super-good for you! Kimchi is high in vitamins A, B, and C and in minerals calcium and iron, but its biggest benefit is its healthy bacteria (sometimes called probiotic); the eponymous lactobacillus kimchi. This aids digestion and increases the number of healthy bacteria in the gut. Kimchi is delicious as a relish or side dish.
ZAPATISTA 100% Arabica Fair Trade Organic Ground Coffee & Beans βοΈ
How good would it be if your fresh morning coffee didn't just set you up for the day - but also set up a whole community for a better way of life? Well, with Cafe Rebelde Zapatista coffee, you really can make a difference. Cafe Rebelde is sourced directly from the farming communities in Chiapas, South East Mexico. The indigenous people of the area have been farming the land since 2000 and produce such a fine product that they have created an industry that successfully supports several villages and ensures the community is self-sufficient and able to work and live on the land. Without this industry, the people would be forced into the slums and a life of hardship and poverty.
For every 1kg of coffee sold, Cafe Libertad - the brand owner - donates β¬0.45 to Kiptik, a "UK-based solidarity group who have been working on a series of projects in the autonomous communities of Chiapas in South East Mexico, since May 2000. The aim of KIPTIK is to support the Zapatista struggle directly through the construction of drinking water systems, ecological stoves, health and mural projects." (kiptik.org).
