Included in the international Ark of Taste catalogue — maintained by the global Slow Food movement, preserving foods that are sustainably produced, unique in taste, and part of a distinct ecoregion — sweet and punchy Persimmon Vinegar, or gam-sikcho (감식초), is a kitchen staple in Korean cuisine. 

Reducing liver cholesterol and preventing metabolic disorders (especially post-alcohol), one tablespoon of Persimmon Vinegar per day can support heart, digestive and liver function. Naturally charged with high doses of vitamin c, this radiant fruit vinegar will have your insides warmed and your skin glowing.

It is said that we take over 20,000 breaths each day. Whether we are breathing for deep rest or for an endorphin hit, if the past few years have taught us anything, it is to look after our lungs.

This restorative tonic, loaded with greens, helps to soothe swollen or tight breathing passages and lubricate the lungs for ultimate cardiovascular health. 

An unlikely ingredient: turnip, is added to this recipe for its high volume of vitamin A, and lemons for vitamin C, both also full of antioxidants. Garlic, a natural antibiotic, adds antiviral and antibacterial properties to keep your system clean and robust. Our Breathe Easy Juice is a combination of powerful foods, each humming with flavour and working to heal your body from within.

The perfect cocktail for the weekend ahead: the Super-Tonic Bloody Mary. Our twist on the breakfast-time favourite includes refreshing celery and cucumber, along with an energising kick of cayenne pepper. While we opt for a neutral vodka in ours, feel free to substitute with gin, tequila or whatever is left in your ‘boos’ cabinet.

Plants make themselves abundant when our bodies need them most. Most gardens, at this point in the year, will have lush nasturtiums tumbling around, so why not utilize them. Both the leaves and the petals are packed with high levels of vitamin C, which wildly improves immunity. 
 
But forget pesto and salad garnish, we've blended this everyday herb into a warming ancient Greek oxymel. The bewitching word oxymel comes from the Latin word oxy, meaning acid, and mel, meaning honey. Both apple cider vinegar and raw honey are common kitchen allies, and when combined with nasturtium, which carries complementary benefits, this oxymel offers potent support against a compromised immune system.

Plus, the taste is so good. Sweet and sour pushed to the extremes, with a savory herbal flavour that lingers on the tongue. A swig of Nasturtium Oxymel each day will keep your body humming.

The idea of fermentation feels instantly fussy and time consuming, but we promise this recipe is about as simple and easy as it gets… 

King of superfoods, garlic acts as a daily defence against deeply rooted inflammatory ailments, and it is recommended that we ingest at least one clove a day, preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach. To avoid garlic-breath, we add raw honey, not only to sweeten the flavour but to further activate the benefits of garlic. The combined nutrition obtained from these two ingredients is then amplified by the natural occurrence of fermentation. 

This powerhouse tonic is your free daily medicine for supreme vitality.
