Packed with flavour and a spicy kick that you can't ignore, Roots of Kimchi is created in small batches to authentic family recipes by a Korean chef. It delivers a wild taste sensation undiscovered by British consumers until now..... hang on a minute though, what is kimchi? Okay, Kimchi is a Korean cuisine staple. ingredients can vary slightly but generally speaking it includes pickled, fermented vegetables, garlic, chilli, ginger and often fish sauce. It gets tastebuds dancing with its sweet, sour, spicy flavours. It's no one hit wonder and can be used as a condiment, a dip, an ingredient or side dish.

Feeling stressed? Can't sleep properly? On edge? Yes, that was me too until the lovely people at WholyMe sent me their CBD Relief Drops to try. Why CBD? CBD - Cannabidiol - a compound derived from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant, is believed to improve overall health and well being, helping users sleep better and feel more relaxed. It is a non-psychoactive and organic healing alternative to everyday stress and in some cases, physical pain. My initial reaction when I first tried the drops was how strong they tasted, although I suppose that's only to be expected considering it is an entirely natural product. Now, after four days of taking three drops twice daily, I really feel my stress has flown away - and even better, I sleep through the night and wake refreshed. That can't be bad!
Tinctures: CBD oil is suspended in liquid as an oil tincture making usage simple. Apply the required amount of drops under the tongue using the dropper in the bottle, hold for 60 seconds then swallow. From £37, wholyme.com And don't worry ...... CBD products are legal, as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC - the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects - and are sold as a health/food supplement. High-quality products have little or no THC because of strict processing and extraction methods used. CBD isn't addictive and you can't overdose on it either. Wholyme's products are certified organic and vegan. WholyMe CBD can be taken 3 times a day before meals either daily or when required. |
