Welcome to our July & August Newsletter
Now, with the big summer heat, please enjoy the amazing abundance of fruits and vegetables.
Nature provides in an orderly way what is good to maintain your health during each and every season.
The secret to best health is to discover ways to combine staple foods like Clearspring organic rice, pasta and noodles with the available seasonal vegetables.
For your salads, try adding in our mineral rich sea vegetables and protein rich organic Tofu. Our Agar Flakes are perfect for making seasonal fruit jellies and for soups, use our probiotic miso. We have got you covered!
Please share with us your favourite recipes (send to info@clearspring.co.uk ) so we can consider adding these to our website which is viewed by thousands of people around the world.
Best wishes,
Christopher Dawson
Founder

Product Focus ? Fruit Purées
This time of year signals the start of the European fruit harvest and as a result we would like to feature our purées in this section of the newsletter. Manufactured by a family firm in Italy our Fruit Purées are made using ripe fruit to ensure maximum flavour and aroma. Using the latest technology the fruit is pureed and processed in such a way that all the natural goodness is retained, preservatives are avoided and one pot can count as one of your ‘5-a-day'. Delicious eaten straight out of the pot, chilled or frozen as a sorbet dessert!
Available in 10 flavours; Apple & Blueberry, Apple & Strawberry, Apple & Apricot, Pear, Apple & Mango, Apple, Pear & Banana, Apple & Plum, Apple & Cranberry, Apple & Pineapple
Why we are proud of our purées:
- They are certified organic & fully ripened fruits
- Naturally sweet ? no added sugar
- No fruit concentrates or Ascorbic acid
- Unique manufacturing process using quick/flash pasteurisation
- One pot = one of your ‘5-a-day'
- Ready to eat and handy single serve pot
- Versatile: delicious for breakfast, as a snack or dessert
- Lightweight and recyclable packaging
- Can be served ambient, chilled or frozen
- Competitively priced
Holiday time! Healthy Foods on the go!!!
The summer holidays will soon be upon us. Here are some Clearspring products that you will want to put in your travel bag or picnic basket and save you having to compromise on food qualities.
For a day out sightseeing don't forget to pack some packets of Tamari Roasted Almonds to keep your energy levels up. Try some Oatcakes for fibre rich and filling snacks, lovely with humous. Also delicious Flavoured Rice Cakes to be eaten straight out of the pack.
For an overnight camping trip we recommend taking a range of our Japanese Teas to drink round the camp fire as well as our Brown Rice Ramen Noodles which can be cooked on a camping stove and are ready to eat, serve and enjoyed in just 4 minutes. If you wish, you can hand chop your favourite vegetables and boil them with the noodles for an even healthier supper.
For travel abroad remember to drink lots of water to keep hydrated. Our Instant Miso Soups are also a must: the only hard decision is which flavour to choose! Most airlines do not mind supplying hot water and a cup if you want to stay away from tea & coffee while travelling, just ask the flight attendant.
We hope you have a wonderful, healthy and satiated summer holiday. Don't forget to send us a postcard!!!

Warehouse sale report
Once again thank you to everyone who came along and we hope that you managed to bag a few bargains. We were much better prepared this time: more staff, more tills, more stock and we had everything ready before the first customers arrived. Unfortunately we were not as busy as expected probably due to the fact that it was a bank holiday weekend and there was a big event at one of the local Japanese schools. On the other hand this meant we were able to do lots of tastings and get the opportunity to speak to everyone there.
We also introduced a pre-order system with collection of the goods on the day of the sale which worked very well. Best sellers included discounted old label fruit spreads, semi wholewheat pasta and deals on our bottled seasonings.
We are planning to host the next warehouse sale sometime in September so watch this space and our website for a confirmed date.
We also took the opportunity at the sale to ask our customers why they are fans of Clearspring. Here is a lovely example:
A mother of two from Acton
“I like Clearspring because their food is natural without added preservatives or chemicals. Having a young family it is important to us to have healthy food which contributes to good health”.
If you have other reasons then please do let us know. We would love to hear from you!
Just email us info@clearspring.co.uk
