Natural Pantry Essentials from Expo West

Natural Pantry Essentials

I love home cooked meals, so I always make sure I keep natural pantry essentials on hand. When I have easy access to good ingredients, I can always put together something healthy and delicious for my family and friends.

Each March I attend Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, so I can learn about new products and industry trends. A lot of the recent innovations are ready to eat items, but I also found a variety of products that I’ll use regularly as I cook and bake at home.

It’s great to have natural options for oil, sweeteners, salt, cleaning products and paper goods, so I can feel good about the meals I create.

Check out my favorite finds in the slide show, so you can discover new products to try!

Twang-a-Rita Rimming Salt

expo west rimming salt twang a rita

You may not think of rimming salt as a necessity, but it sure does make beverages fun. Twang-A-Rita has a variety of flavors that are both pretty and tasty. My current favorites are the citrus Golden Roar and strawberry-lime Nectarberry.

With a well stocked pantry, a healthy snack or meal is easy to prepare. You don't have to give up on flavor, sweetness or fun, when you've got these items on hand.

I hope that you enjoy these natural products as much as I do!

We already love their ginger ale, but this was my first time to 'play' with the full line. This is my version of the #CapeCodder recipe that is on their website. It is made with their oh so #tasty Pacific Sea Salt #ClubSoda. I used fresh berries instead of lime wedges as garnish. Yes, it was delicious and we all enjoyed it! #Cocktail #CranberryCocktail #Cocktails #CranberryCocktails #CapeCod #CocktailMixers #RegattaCraftMixers #RegattaCocktails @apexdropofficial #HolidayParty #HolidayCocktails #makeitinteresting
