Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu!
Welcome to the first Clearspring newsletter of the year. We wish you a very happy 2008, which is the Year of the Rat. I hope you will have enjoyed the festive season, and perhaps some excesses, so now is a good time to turn your attention to the natural foods and the good they can do for you. In case your resolutions need a bit of a kick-start, and you are overwhelmed by all the detox options, we’ve got some decent options lined up for you in this issue. We will take a look at some Clearspring healthy snacks, new dipping sauces and varieties of miso. Also, please take this opportunity to jump on our special health cruise recipe feature.

Dipping Delicious
This month, we are launching two new organic dipping sauces, both made using only the very finest quality ingredients. As well as good old-fashioned dipping, sweet and tangy No.19 Organic Chuno Dipping Sauce and deliciously rich Organic Miso Dipping Sauce. Both are ideal for use in stirfries and as cooking sauces. Which will you try first? Read more.

The Mysteries of Miso
Miso is an ingredient with the potential to bewilder – with both its myriad health benefits, and the wide variety to choose from. We investigate the various types of miso, looking at their origins, production, taste and uses, and help you decide which miso to use and when. Click here to read more.
Clearspring in Lithuania
This month we bring you news of the international distribution of Clearspring foods, this time from Lithuania, the furthest east of all EU countries. Deva, our customer, is in fact the biggest organic food distributor in Lithuania, a country which until recently had almost no organic produce at all. To speed up the growth of the wholefoods market, the Lithuanian government have recently lowered the VAT for organic foods to 5%, down from the standard 21%. Supermarkets have begun to sell organic produce, and little over a month ago, the first organic shop opened in the capital Vilnius, where, thanks to Deva, Clearspring was the primary food brand on display.
Healthy Snacking
Everybody has those points in the day when their energy dips, and unhealthy choices suddenly become tempting. Well, Clearspring have some snacking options which are not just healthy and organic, but delicious and packed with sustainable energy. Click here to find out more.

We invite you on board our Clearspring Health Cruise, where we serve you the very tastiest of dishes, fresh from Sandy Pukel’s and Mark Hanna’s cookbook Greens and Grains on the Deep Blue Sea. What’s more, this is a cruise you can board without even leaving your kitchen! |
