New Lucy Bee Products

      For those of you who only associate Lucy Bee with Organic Coconut Oil think again and look at the new products we have available on the site that you can put in your store cupboard.  Still the same philosophy – concerned with Fair Trade, ethical & sustainable living, recycling and eating close to nature with additive free products.

• Coconut Oil – the original oil was sourced in the Philippines and Solomon Islands but the new “orange top” is sourced from Sri Lanka and has a lighter flavour and aroma – why not give it a try ?
• Cacao Powder – Organic Fair Trade, Raw, Free from preservatives,  GMO’s, cholesterol, gluten and dairy.  Natural product retaining maximum antioxidants and a full rich, chocolatey taste – perfect for hot drinks and baking. You can satisfy your sweet tooth cravings in the purest way straight from the cocoa bean.
• Cinnamon Powder-Fair Trade & Organic, free from gluten, dairy, preservatives, GMO’s & additives. Cinnamon reminds us of Christmas with its warming, aromatic and slightly sweet taste and can be used in savoury dishes as well as in desserts or sprinkled on cereals and drinks. Cinnamon has a low glycaemic index and research is showing it can be helpful in the regulation of type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels.
• Turmeric Powder- Fairtrade and Organic, free from gluten, dairy, preservatives, GMO’s and additives.  Turmeric was once known as “Indian Saffron”, related to the ginger family with its active ingredient, curcumin given it the vibrant colour and its use as a food colouring. Its slightly peppery taste with hints of orange and ginger make it useful in baking, sauce and soup making, making curries and adding to drinks. It is mainly known for its anti- inflammatory properties and many people with arthritis find it helps with pain control.
• Maca Powder – Fair Trade, Organic, free from gluten, dairy, preservatives, GMO’s and additives. This is a blend of black, red and white maca to maximise nutrients and with the starch removed to aid digestion. Can be used to naturally sweeten food and drinks with hints of maple syrup and caramel. Used in drinks, baking and sprinkled over cereals helping your body deal with the hectic, stressful lifestyle many of us lead by reducing fatigue, enhancing energy levels and boosting the immune system.
• Lucuma Powder- Free Trade, Organic, Raw and free from gluten, dairy, preservatives, GMO’s, and additives. An excellent natural sweetener with a low glycaemic index and hints of maple syrup flavour. Full of antioxidants and minerals and adds a rich creaminess to foods and drinks.

Hopefully you are aware of the numerous ways in which coconut oil can be used in our daily beauty rituals but there is now the addition of pure, natural, salts to add to your bath (250g salt + 1 teaspoon coconut oil) to pamper and relax tired bodies and muscles – just lie back and relax for 15-20 minutes.

• Epsom Salt – Perfect bath treat both to relax muscles and draw out toxins with a high magnesium content easily absorbed by the skin.
• Dead Sea Salts – Used as a natural healing agent for many years due to high mineral content (especially magnesium).  Excellent for skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis and also eases the pain and stiffness of arthritis and rheumatism.
• Himalayan Salt – Available as coarse or fine and also suitable for use in cooking.

Finally there is the addition of a cookery book celebrating the uses and benefits of Organic Coconut Oil – would make an ideal present or just treat yourself to one !
