Start 2025 Strong: Why Black Lemon is Your Secret Weapon This Winter
New year, new wellness routine. Black lemon is your secret weapon for staying healthy this winter. Through natural ageing, black lemon contains over 4x more vitamin C than fresh lemon (233.3mg vs 50mg per 100g), making it one of the most efficient ways to support your immune system during cold and flu season. Rich in antioxidants, potassium, and fibre, black lemon helps combat fatigue, enhance iron absorption, and protect your cells from oxidative stress. Easy to use and delicious, simply add black lemon powder to hot water, tea, or your favourite recipes for a natural health boost. No supplements, no fuss—just pure, concentrated lemon power to help you feel your best all winter long.
The Ultimate Veganuary Ingredient: Why Black Garlic Belongs in Every Plant-Based Kitchen
Black garlic is the ultimate Veganuary ingredient. Naturally 100% plant-based and registered with The Vegan Society, it solves the biggest challenge in vegan cooking: umami. That deep, savoury, mouth-filling richness often found in meat and cheese? Black garlic delivers it—without any animal products. Through natural ageing, white garlic becomes sweet, complex, and intensely flavourful, transforming simple plant-based dishes into something genuinely exciting. Use it in pasta sauces, hummus, soups, roasted vegetables, dressings, and vegan gravy for restaurant-quality depth. Available as paste, powder, whole cloves, or pickle, black garlic makes plant-based cooking effortless and delicious. Whether you're new to Veganuary or a seasoned vegan, black garlic ensures your food tastes as good as your reasons for choosing it.
