Enzos Private Selection has established itself as a leading purveyor of fine, health foods and products. From earthy green matcha powder, to luxe velour travel pillows, this online retailer has carved out a niche in quality nutrition and well being products. Now the companys growing product range has expanded with the addition Dry Roast Sea Salted Macadamia Nuts, available in 680g (1.5lbs) packs.

The Macadamia nuts are sourced from trees grown in the mineral dense soils of the uplands of Mount Kenya, the highest mountain in Kenya and an active agricultural hub. Although native to Australia, the Macadamia has flourished after being introduced by Australian settlers in the Kenyan hills. This region is currently garnering global acclaim and demand for its Macadamia nuts which are typically farmed by small scale producers. Selected for their fine quality and organic production, these Kenyan Macadamias boast essential fatty acids such as Omega 7 and 9 as well as B vitamins alongside a range of other micro-nutrients. The nuts are lightly processed in Kenya with the kernels removed from their shells and expertly inspected for size and quality.

Enzos Private Selection Organic Roasted and Salted Macadamia Nuts are gently dry roasted which adds to the depth of flavor without compromising the nutritional value of these nuts. For macadamias, dry roasting is considered superior to frying and prevents damage to the beneficial fats included in these nuts. Macadamia nuts are known to have a range of health benefits including lowering cholesterol, optimizing blood sugar levels and reducing blood pressure.

Enzos Private Selection has also worked hard to ensure that these Macadamias are fairly traded, a key issue in global agriculture. Kenyan Macadamia nut farmers are benefiting from the improved farm gate prices that come with partnerships with brands such as Enzos and the local processing of this product ensures that the local economy thrives.

The nuts are certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA )via CERES, an international intermediary who carry out local and regional inspections of the nut production in line with USDA organic standards. Packaging for these Macadamia nuts carry the certification labeling. Organic production assures the consumer of quality and improves the sustainability of producing the nuts for the Kenyan farmers involved.

Organic produce tends to be superior and the flavor and caliber of these organic Macadamia nuts is already proving to be a hit at the various online outlets where they are retailed. Globally, the macadamia nut is sought after for its exceptionally creamy taste and continues to be in demand as a luxury food that is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets.

Enzos Private Selection Organic Roasted and Salted Macadamia Nuts are available direct from their websitehttps://yo.urenzo.com/product/macadamia-nuts-salted/or Amazon.com store.

About Enzos Private Selection

Before Enzos Private Selection was found, it all started from a young man needing the extra boost of energy to keep up with his college studies.

Year passes by as he grows into coffee addict, drinking 8 glasses of cappuccinos a day, the young man could no longer focus. After moving to the tropics to pursue his career, the effects of quickly coffee dawn on him. Getting overheated, losing focus and sweating through the day he realize what the problem was but didnt know how to fix it.

Meeting new people and traveling around Asia, he found himself visiting a tea farm in Japan. After trying tasting their tea, there was no doubt in his mind that he has found the missing key to break his addiction.

The concept took tosocial mediato announce the move: "Rent is too higheverywhere not just for usso we're moving the store[..]Once we find a great contractor to help us do the cosmetic beauty projects, we'll be reopening the storefront in our separate garage. We're blessed to be zoned commercial residential so that means we can literally have the store, grow and live in our little house. We're excited for this next chapter."

Kenwood owners are also planning to launch a community garden day in March, so this new move may prove to be fruitful in many areas for the business.

The United Nations estimates (PDF)that nearly 10 billion people will live in cities by 2050. According to arecent publication by the Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition, urban eaters consume most of the food produced globally and maintain more resource-intensive diets including increased animal-source and processed foods rich in salt, sugar and fats. At the same time, many urban populations particularly in low-income areas and informal communities endure acute hunger and malnutrition as well as limited access to affordable, healthy food.

But there are countless ways that cities can feed themselves and create better linkages between rural and urban food systems. In Mexico City, the organization CultiCiudad built the Huerto Tlatelolco, an edible forest with 45 tree varieties, a seed bank and plots for biointensive gardening. In the United States, City Growers uses New York Citys urban farms as a learning laboratory for children to reconnect with nature. And in the Kalobeyei Settlement in northern Kenya, urban agriculture represents a tool for empowerment by improving food security, nutrition, and self-sufficiency among refugees.

"Agriculture and forestry in the city answer to a variety of urban development goals beyond the provision of green infrastructure and food, such as social inclusion, adaptation to climate change, poverty alleviation, urban water management and opportunities for the productive reuse of urban waste," says Henk de Zeeuw, senior adviser at the RUAF Foundation.

And thankfully, hundreds of entrepreneurs and organizations are using this opportunity to improve urban agriculture and satisfy the demands of an increasingly urban population. From high-tech indoor farms in France and Singapore to mobile apps connecting urban growers and eaters in India and the United States, Food Tank highlights 16 initiatives using tech, entrepreneurship and social innovation to change urban agriculture.

There are countless ways that cities can feed themselves and create better linkages between rural and urban food systems.

1.AeroFarms, Newark (United States)

AeroFarms builds and operates vertical indoor farms to enable local production at scale and increase the availability of safe and nutritious food. The company uses aeroponics to grow leafy greens without sun or soil in a fully controlled environment. The technology enables year-round production while, they say, using 95 percent less water than field farming, resulting in yields 400 times higher per square foot annually. Since its foundation in 2004, AeroFarms aims to disrupt conventional food supply chains by building farms along major distribution routes and in urban areas. The company also won multiple awards, including the 2018 Global SDG Award, for its environmentally responsible practices and leadership in agriculture.

2.Agricool, Paris (France)

Agricool is a start-up that grows strawberries in containers spread throughout urban areas. The company retrofits old, unused containers to accommodate both an LED-lights and aeroponics system making it possible to grow strawberries year-round. The Cooltainers are powered by clean energy and use 90 percent less water than conventional farming. Agricool also works on building a network of urban farmers through the Cooltivators training program, aiming to open up job opportunities for city residents to work in the agricultural sector. The start-up works on expanding operations to other cities, an effort made possible by the replicability of the containers design.

3.BIGH Farms, Brussels (Belgium)

BIGH (Building Integrated Greenhouses) Farms, a start-up based in Brussels, works on building a network of urban farms in Europe to promote the role urban agriculture can play in the circular economy. BIGHs designs integrate aquaponics with existing buildings to reduce a sites environmental impact. The first pilot above the historic Abattoir in Brussels city center includes a fish farm, a greenhouse and over 2,000 square meters of outdoor vegetable gardens. It started in 2018 producing microgreens, herbs, tomatoes and striped bass. BIGH Farms also partners with local businesses and growers to make sure the farms production is complementary to the existing food community.

4.Bites, Phoenix (United States)

Bites is a mobile platform working to help connect urban farmers, chefs and eaters in Phoenix through farm-to-table dining experiences. Eaters and chefs sign up and meet through the app to organize an in-home dining event. Chefs gather the ingredients from urban growers registered on the platform in an effort to promote local, small businesses. Bites was launched in 2017 by Roza Derfowsmakan, founder ofWarehouse Apps, to improve accessibility to farm-to-table experiences and support urban farmers. By using technology to build culinary communities, Bites aims to change consumer choices from shipped-in, trucked-in produce to locally sourced food involving people in the solution itself.

5.BitGrange, Multiple Locations (North America)

BitGrange is an urban farming tool and learning platform working to help educate children on food and agriculture. The BitGrange device, a hydroponics and internet of things-based system, produces edible plants with little water and energy. BitGranges software evaluates environmental variables in real-time and notifies growers through a smartphone app to take necessary actions, such as adding more water or plant food. Founded in 2015 according to its philosophy, Plant-Connect-Sync-Play, BitGrange aims to inspire youth to engage in farming by gamifying agriculture. The nano-farms design is available for download at BitGranges website for potential growers to 3D print the device in their own location.

Chefs gather the ingredients from urban growers registered on the platform in an effort to promote local, small businesses.

6.Bowery Farming, New York Metro Area (United States)

Bowery Farming, an indoor farming start-up, uses software and robotics to grow produce inside warehouses in and around cities. By controlling every aspect of the growing process, the start-up is able to produce leafy greens and herbs using a minimal amount of water and energy per square foot. The technology also makes it possible to grow customized products for chefs and restaurants, such as softer kale and more peppery arugula. Since its establishment in 2017, Bowery Farming is expanding operations beyond its New Jersey warehouse to build vertical farms in other cities and, ultimately, bring efficient food production closer to consumers.

7.Farmizen, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Surat (India)

Farmizen is a mobile-based platform renting farmland to city residents to grow locally grown, organic produce. The app allocates its users a 600 square foot mini-farm in a community nearby.

Farmworkers look after the plots when the users return to the city, making a fixed and stable income up to three times more than that of conventional farming. The app is live in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Surat with 1,500 subscribers and 40 acres of land under cultivation. Farmizen was founded in 2017 by entrepreneurGitanjali Rajamani, driven by the need to create stable livelihoods for farmers and reconnect city-dwellers to agriculture and nature.

8.Fresh Direct, Abuja (Nigeria)

Fresh Direct is an impact-driven start-up using vertical farming and hydroponics to promote locally grown produce and the involvement of youth in agriculture. When young entrepreneur Angel Adelaja started engaging in eco-friendly farming, she faced multiple challenges with conventional farming practices, including access to land, water and technology. As a response, Adelaja founded Fresh Direct in 2014 to make urban agriculture more accessible to everyone, especially youth. Fresh Direct installs stackable container farms in the city, growing organic produce closer to the market. In the future, Adelaja aims to eradicate the notion among young professionals that agriculture is a line of work for the older generations.

9.Gotham Greens, multiple locations (United States)

Designed to combat the long distances food travels, the InFarms produce leafy greens and herbs using 95 percent less water than traditional farms and no pesticides. The technology, the company claims, can reduce food transportation up to 90 percent. In 2013, the company pioneered the modular system in restaurants, schools, hospitals and shopping centers. Operations have expanded to distribute portable farms in neighborhoods and supermarkets across Germany, Denmark, France and Switzerland. The expansion, AgFunder reports, can be attributed to InFarms decentralized, data-driven model.

The farms closed-loop system works with used coffee grounds collected from local businesses to turn residual flows into food.

12.Liv Up, So Paulo (Brazil)

Liv Up works to deliver healthy meals and snack kits prepared with locally grown food to residents of the Greater So Paulo region.

Organic Food and Beverages Market Competitive Insights, Trends and Demand Growth 2019 to 2026 - Filmi Baba

Lots of folks have traditions they follow to ring in the New Year. Many revolve around food. A custom born out of the southern United States has taken root all over the countryincluding Oregon.

As the folklore goes, for luck and prosperity-- black-eyed peas should be the first food eaten on New Years Day. Its said each pea represents a coin and cooked greens, which are a common accompaniment, represent paper money.

The tradition may not be practiced by everybody, but its popular enough to impact grocery stores in the Willamette Valley. Andrea Pierce, Produce Manager at Sundance Natural Foods in Eugene, says theyre preparing accordingly.

In produce we cross merchandise dried black-eyed peas, because you cant get fresh ones right now organically-- which wed love to have. And also organic collard greens, because we have all organic produce.

Pierce is a transplant from Rhode Island but she says she heard of this New Year tradition out east too. She says if for no other reason, people should try it because black eyed peas are delicious.

Excerpt from:

New Year's Tradition Of Black Eyed Peas & Greens Not Just For Southerners Anymore - KLCC FM Public Radio

GrowNYC is cultivating a new generation of farmers and bringing diverse produce to communities across the city.

Christina Chan connects with her family through food.

As a first-generation Chinese-American, Chan searches for ways to embrace her Chinese heritage. She doesnt know much of the language and she doesnt hold the same traditional values of her parents. But she does share a mutual love for soup dumplings.

And a love for traditional Cantonese dishes. And a craving for simple dishes, like Chinese leafy greens steamed with oyster sauce. When she eats, shes connected to her roots.

Not only do we use food to show each other care and affection, but its the part of my culture that I can understand the most, she told NationSwell.

While her familys shared culture is a major part of her identity, its not the only one. She is also a farmer, which is part of why shes committed to eating local organic produce.

But Chan struggled to find organic versions of her favorite Chinese vegetables in New York. When walking through Chinatown or Jackson Heights, she couldnt find t organic versions of the vegetables she grew up eating. It felt like I had to choose between that part of myself or my culture, she said.

Chans struggle represents a bigger problem in American farming. The crops our country grows arent diverse, and its partly due to a lack of diverse farmers.

The 2017 USDA Census on Agriculture surveyed 2.7 million principal producers in the United States. Of the 2.7 million, only 16,798, or .7%, identified as Asian. 38,000, or 1.4%, identified as black or African American. At 2.6 million of the 2.7 total, white farmers made up a majority of the principal operators.

The statistics in Chans home state, New York, show a similar pattern 97% of farms belong to white men, and their average age is 57 years old. While a majority of owners are white, farmworkers are overwhelmingly Latino.

A system where over 90% of the people are white men is not a resilient system, Gabriela Pereyra, the Beginning Farmer Program manager at GrowNYC, told NationSwell. A system that is resilient, it must have diversity.

The lack of diversity impacts communities in all kinds of ways. It means individuals living in New York City, one of the worlds most diverse populations, dont always have access to fresh produce used in traditional recipes. It means young people dont have mentors in a potential career path. It means that communities are disconnected from farmers, and therefore, disconnected from their food.

So GrowNYC set out to narrow the diversity and age gap between farmworkers and farm owners. We needed a new generation to bring food to the city, Pereyra said.

The nonprofit knew there was a population of young, diverse farmworkers, but because many were immigrants, they lacked the knowledge to navigate the U.S. farm system and establish their own business, explained Pereyra.

In 2000, GrowNYC launched the New Farmer Development Project, a program to support Spanish-speaking farmers interested in starting their own agricultural business. A decade later, the program merged into whats now called FARMroots. FARMroots offers both technical assistance for established farmers and a Beginning Farmer Program, open to any farmer with less than 10 years of experience.

While any new farmer, regardless of background, can apply to the Beginning Farmer Program, the nonprofit is focused on cultivating a diverse group. This year, 40 people applied who immigrated from seven different countries and speak 12 different languages.

The program is structured as an eight-week course where the 15 accepted farmers will learn every aspect of farming: Finances, land ownership, crop rotation, tractor driving, greenhouse management and land access are just a few theyll delve into.

After the course, GrowNYC pairs the novice farmers with an established farmer. Theyll spend 200 hours on the established farm and gain firsthand experience.

Were not only talking about farming. We are creating the new generation, Pereyra said. A new generation that speaks about diversity, equity, community.

Kama Doucoure is one of those farmers. After completing the Beginning Farmer Program in 2017, he launched his own farm this March.

Doucoure, who immigrated to the U.S. 12 years ago from Mali, Africa, had been farming since he was 6 years old, Pereyra said. But when he got to New York, he couldnt find an entry point into farming. Instead, he worked every single job you could imagine.

Meanwhile, his community, which is largely West African Muslim, didnt have the proper foods to celebrate religious holidays. Doucoure was connected with FARMroots, where he completed the Beginning Farmer Program. After, Pereya worked with him to find the right land and location for his farm he now works in Saugerties, New York, a two and a half-hour drive from Manhattan.

As FARMroots developed its program, Chan was on a winding path to discovering her career in farming. She had initially planned to attend vet school but pivoted and earned a masters in conservation science. She quickly learned that fieldwork wasnt a long-term career route for her, so she went to London to volunteer at an urban farm. And thats when I kind of put all of these pieces of the puzzle together, she said.

Chan loved being outdoors. She loved eating. And farming was at the crossroads.

She came back to the U.S. and started an apprenticeship in Hudson Valley. She then worked as a farmer and educator at Randalls Island Park Alliance. There she met her boss, an alumnus from the FARMroots program, who suggested she apply.

They really helped take what is the fuzzy farm dream and bring it into focus, Chan said.

Chan still works on an urban farm in the city, and once or twice a week she takes the subway to Astoria, Queens, where she grows produce for a local chef in a backyard.

In raised beds, shes grown four types of basil and Korean perilla. Along the entryway to the garden, Chan points out a Thai eggplant and bright red chili peppers.

Really this year zero for me is to kind of try varieties and figure out what grows well here, whats productive, what tastes good and just kind of refine my skills with certain things, she said. She plans to spend 2020 on a production farm or completing another apprenticeship.

Her long-term goal is to feed the community. She plans to find three to five acres of farmland in Hudson Valley where she can bring produce to the Asian communities across New York City.

Theres not really many people selling the types of vegetables that are things I would see in my household growing up, she said. So shes taking the first step to change that.

Chan has the group of farmers she worked with in London to thank, as well as her boss on Randalls Island.

But she also has GrowNYC to thank, too. Chan and Pereyra have stayed connected as Chan begins the hunt for farmland.

Youre not doing it for you, Chan said. Youre doing it for the community.

Luckily, the world of vegan eating has certainly expanded within the past few years and the Internet, with all of its pictures and reviews, has definitely made it easier to scope out the best places for vegan-fare in advance.

While the amount of vegan eateries around the nation is growing, there are still some cities that stand out when it comes to the number of veg-friendly and vegan restaurants available. For this reason, I have put together the top ten cities in the United States for vegans to get their nom on.
