Every month we get a whole array of new products that land on the shelves of the Monadnock Food Co-op. Here are just a few that we think you should check out the next time you’re in the store!
SWITCHLE Organic Sparkling Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
SWITCHLE is a new “curiously-crafted” and fermented soft drink based on a 17th-century US farmer’s traditional thirst-quencher known as “Switchel” drunk on hot days while harvesting. Switchle’s mouth-watering blends of sparkling spring water, apple cider vinegar, organic honey, fruit juices & botanical extracts will delight your taste buds, satisfy your thirst & fuel your body with natural goodness.
We’re having a tough time deciding which of the three flavors is our favorite—Turmeric, Ginger & Peach, Matcha, Lime & Mint or Rooibos, Raspberry & Pomegranate. 😋
CITIZEN’S CIDER FRUITION Lavender Cider
‘Tis the season to explore our local hard ciders. Burlington, Vermont’s Citizen Cider Origin Series Cider features the unique people, places, and crops of their region in the Northeast. Limited Edition Fruition Herbal Cider made with locally grown lavender touches on all three. The flower brings light notes of sweetness and floral to this crisp, dry cider. The farmers growing the lavender are much like this cider, unique, bright, and always ready to celebrate. Enjoy.
No added sugar. Naturally Gluten Free. ABV: 6.0
HOPLARK Hop Tea
If you enjoy fresh, hoppy IPAs, you will love this intense hop flavor and aroma along with just the right amount of bitterness. Hoplark HOP TEA Black Tea, aka “The Really Hoppy One,” is brewed with yes, you guessed it, organic black tea, and then dry-hopped with Simcoe and Citra hops.
It has a refreshing and unique beer-like flavor, but no alcohol! The Really Hoppy One has zero calories and 70 mg of caffeine per can. It’s gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan too.
One reviewer wrote, “I don’t know what to say other than I’m blown away. It’s like drinking an IPA with 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sodium, and 0 alcohol. I love, love a great, really hoppy IPA, but I can’t drink that often and keep up with my fitness and nutritional goals. So as a paleo/low carb/cross-fitter, this is an absolute game changer! Thank you! What a great idea to produce products like this!”
