Hemp is one of the richest sources of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids which support brain and heart function, balanced cholesterol levels, hormone regulation and healthy joints and connective tissues. Hemp is also one of the best protein sources on the planet - key for those following a raw or vegan diet.

Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is Brazil's purple power berry. Loaded with antioxidants and essential fats, acai is a creamy, tasty, energy-giving treat most commonly served frozen like ice cream. Sambazon, America's premier importer of acai, received the 2006 Award for Corporate Excellence for its model of sustainable development work in the Amazon. Harvesting authentic acai can be done by employing fair wages for workers and respecting the fragile rainforest ecosystem. And of course, there's the Purple Smile Club. Check it out at sambazon.com.
For over 5,000 years, Goji berries (lyceum) have been a key ingredient in Chinese and Tibetan Herbal Medicine. Often known as "happy berries" the small, dried, reddish-orange berries taste like a cross between a raisin and a cherry. They have rejuvenating effects on the immune system, largely due to their high levels of the powerful antioxidant beta carotene. Gojis also contain all eight essential amino acids and more than 20 trace minerals. Importing from both China and Tibet, Sunfood Nutrition is the leading brand in quality goji berries working to establish community orchards and Tibetan cultural awareness. Visit sunfood.com.
