Every spring, there's a big convention in Vancouver for the health food industry. Manufacturers and distributors set up booths and you have to work for a health food store or related business to get in. This year's convention was just a couple of weeks ago and I went on behalf of Green Earth Organics for the third year in a row.
There are three main reasons to go to this show: to see new products, to sample all kinds of goodies, and to get show specials from the distributors. It took me about four hours to go through the whole show, and that was with skipping everything that wasn't organic (there was an entire aisle of protein shakes and muscle-building supplements that I skipped, for example). At the other end, I came out with a bunch of new products to share with you and some great deals. Over the next three or four weeks, I'll be receiving shipments and putting items on the website, so keep your eye on the sale items page. Here are some new items that are already available on our website (all prices are subject to change and the sales are until the current supply lasts):
Camino Fair Trade Tropical Juice: From the makers of Cocoa Camino chocolate chips and cocoa powder, this is the first organic and fair trade juice on the market. This isn't such a strange jump for the company, as many of their cocoa beans and coffee beans are shade grown, and the trees used to create the canopy of shade atop the bean crops are often fruit trees. 946 mL tetrapak. Regular: $3.75; sale: $3.00.
Steaz Iced Teas: Made with green tea and available in two flavours: peach and blueberry-pomegranate-acai. I tried the peach at the show and it was a very nice level of sweetness and very refreshing. I look forward to trying the other flavour this weekend. 240 mL can. Regular: $2.12; sale: $1.70.
YoBaby Yogurts: A favourite with moms and babies, we now have the Vanilla & Apple-Pear combo pack in stock. 8 x 100 g. Regular: $6.99; sale: $6.64.
We also have two new Simply Natural products. Vodka Cream Pasta Sauce for those who like a little cream in their tomato sauce, and Black Bean and Corn Salsa for a different dip or addition to tacos, fajitas, etc.
Things to look forward to: more Patel's Indian dishes, a delicious acai juice, some lime lemonade, free range egg noodles, and more. We will also have some existing favourites on sale, including some of the L'Ancetre cheeses and various pastas.
