Oxtail has a long history of being a rich base for soups, from the depression to today. Serve this savoury bowl of comfort food with a warmed roll and crisp salad on a chilly day for a culinary equivalent of a hug.
Alpiste is more commonly known as Canary seed, a nod to the crop's origin in the Canary Islands. This tiny, versatile grain can be used in baking, snacks, soups, salads and dishes that call for quinoa.
Alpiste's high protein content (21%), coupled with its rich micronutrient composition make it a great functional food ingredient to boost the nutrition of existing and new recipes.
Alpiste seed can be used in seed form, milled into flakes or ground into a high protein, whole grain flour. It adds a mild, nutty flavour and nutrient boost to extrudates.
Grown on the Canadian Prairies by dedicated farmers who use sustainable agriculture practices, alpiste is a tasy way to add plant-based protein to your diet while supporting Canadian families.
