Good week! This week we’re back to normal!

 

In a moment I'll introduce you to Gil, our new delivery man, and to “טחינא”, the new tehina that we love. But first I have two important requests: one that you help us to send you exactly what you want, the second is help bring more rain, in great abundance.

First request: We want you satisfied !!

Help us to send you exactly the products that you want.

In our online ordering system it is very simple to create a detailed order which includes whatever products that you want (it was designed specifically for this purpose). There is no need to create a new order every week (although you can if you wish). You can set your order to remain constant, and then you won’t need to remember to order every week. And you can always edit, modify or even cancel any order individually until noon of the day before delivery. There is even an option to “suspend” and order for a longer period of time.

 

The system is constantly updated with the existing crops and products. So even in the case of a permanent order, it is best (especially during the change of seasons) to check what has changed and choose new products that you might want. If you order an item, it will go into the harvesting list and if we can pick it for you, you will receive it.

 

It is important for you to know three things:

1.  the expectation list is only a draft. It is not the final list.

It often happens that while packing I decide that a particular product is not the quality level we require, or there is not enough of it.  If this happens, we will simply not put it in your box! You will receive a replacement product. This means that the content of your box will not necessarily match the expectation list I had sent previously.

 

2. You may use the comments field to request to not receive any product.  If you asked in the comments box not to receive a certain product – no problem. We will see this comment and not put it in your box. We will surprise you with a replacement product that we have spare. But The opposite is not true! If you write in the comments that you wish to receive a particular product, rather than ordering it in the system – it will not enter the harvesting list and we will not have it for you.

 

3. The price is the same, however you order!

I assemble the organic box according to the price list that you see in the site. So there's no advantage to ordering a basket of vegetables or to ordering a detailed list of products.  The price will be according to what you receive.

 

In summary, if you, our dear organic vegetable lovers, know what items you wish to receive:

1. You cannot rely on the expectation list, as it may change and 

2. We would be very happy if you simply order whatever you want in the system. It will make our job easier.

 

Of course, we are always happy to help you with the ordering system. Just give us a call. Also, if you have not yet met Gali in the office, you should 🙂 02-5700796. If you send us a message we will gladly return your call, always 🙂

 

Have you already seen all of our extensive categories? If not, you Should 🙂 There is another new product down below…

 

Second request:  Last week, There was a brief rain – large droplets for a short time. This stimulated my longing for the soon to come new season.

Therefore, it is now the time to pray / ask / beseech / invite/ hope / speak well of people and love innocently/ sing and dance gratefully…all so that the garden will receive quenching rain soon, to begin a new year clean and abundant according to our needs.

 

And now, please welcome Gil, our new delivery man!

He successfully passed his first month as Moshe’s replacement, and particularly in a very challenging month because of the holidays.

We hope to have a long and successful period of working together.

Finally, another good and new product under the category of "Domestic producers that we love":

I’m allowing Michal, from “Tehina”, to speak (not certified organic):

"Hi, I'm Michal:)

I am originally from Jerusalem, and the last eight years I have been a member of Kibbutz Netiv Halamed Hei in the Ella Valley. My professional life began actually as a clinical psychologist, and as much as I love the profession, when i became 40 different events led me to change direction.

My affair with Tehina began five years ago, during which I went through a long and complicated path. I was looking for a manufacturing plant that could produce Tehina with my special requirements (what's so special about Tehina I tell below), and when I saw there were none available, I realized that if I want to make the idea a reality, I will have to build a factory of my own.

Machine development was an especially arduous process, but in the end I managed to establish my factory in my kibbutz, in my home, which is a great pleasure and gives me great satisfaction.

Currently my elder son is working with me, and I am pleased to say that our Tehina has been accepted lovingly and receives high praise both for its taste and for the health benefits that it provides.

I’m inviting you to try it and discover the difference 🙂

No Peeling

The sesame is washed only with water, without salt or other materials that induce it to peel. There is no separation between the shell and the kernel, so most of the nutritional value is preserved.

 

No Roasting

The sesame seeds are dried at a temperature below 40 degrees, so its nutritional value is not compromised. The sesame remains alive!

 

No Additives

In Tehina there is no addition of any material in the production process, besides whole sesame seeds and the rinse with water.The result is simply – Tehina with values.

 

Those who have tasted it already know that Tehina has excellent taste. This taste is of course closely linked to the production process. It begins with the highest quality species of sesame seeds (Homirah, if you are interested), and continues with a long process that takes all the time required for pre-germination, drying at low temperature and strict grinding in a way that will not compromise its taste or nutritional value (yes, it does take a very long time… )

 

The outstanding benefits of Tehina, as reflected in the nutritional values:

– Low sodium – no added salt (sodium – 5.6 mg only)

– No Cholesterol

– Rich in iron – 17.5 mg – Very High

– Rich in calcium – 800 mg

– Rich in fiber. We do not separate the shell from the kernel at any stage, and therefore maximum nutritional fiber remains in Tehina.

– There is nothing in Tehina other than sesame seeds(no preservatives, dyes, flavorings or anything at all).

 

A word about absorption of calcium, and vitamins and minerals in general:

All packaged foods have listed upon them a table of nutritional values. It is important to understand that the numbers listed in the table are not precisely what we get! The fact that it says "calcium – 800 mg", does not mean that all of the 800 mg will be absorbed by your body.

 

The pre-sprouting process that we use enhances your body’s ability to absorb nutrients. This process dissolves the acids that prevent the vitamins and minerals (including calcium) from being absorbed in the body. This is an important point, which is why we emphasize it.  

Pre-sprouting actually improves the nutritional value of what you eat by allowing you to absorb more of it.

That was a moment about values ​​"

 

May it be a week full of values that are healthy, happy, and clean.

To Health!

Yours, Maggie and garden staff
