We hand harvest baskets of Sacred Basil (Tulsi) from Avena's biodynamic garden and immediately take them to a local beekeeper. Deb carefully fills each jar with Sacred Basil and honey. The fragrant, unique flavor of our biodynamic Sacred Basil blends well to create an unforgettable treat in tea or on toast. Sacred Basil contains immune-enhancing properties, calms the nervous system and opens the heart.*
This beautiful rose colored infused vinegar is a lovely and nutritive addition to salads, steamed greens and soups. We hand collect each of the herbs from Avena's Garden and infuse them together in local, certified organic apple cider vinegar. The addition of Opal Basil leaves brings color to this vinegar. All of the herbs in this vinegar are traditionally known to be high in a variety of minerals including calcium and iron. Minerals in herbs and food are essential for building strong bones, preventing osteoporosis, nourishing the blood and supporting healthy functioning of the hormonal, immune and nervous systems. Vinegar extracts minerals from herbs more effectively than alcohol. The health benefits of unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar have been valued by Folk Healers around the world, and include normalizing the body's pH and supporting overall digestive function.*
