Delicious natural liquid flavourings... These can be added to cakes, icing and creamy desserts to help enhance other flavours in the recipe. We have a growing range of extracts & essences including Orange Blossom Essence, Rose Water, Vanilla Extract and many other superior quality extracts from Nielsen Massey. | Bitter sweet & chocolatey....
We supply cocoa in the form of cocoa powder and "cacao nibs", which are basically bits of cocoa bean. Cocoa is the main ingredient of chocolate.
Uses: Try the powder in brownies, muffins and milky drink recipes. Cacao nibs would lend themselves well to home made cereal bars, or adding a crunch to cakes. You can grind down the nibs and add to cooking (sweet & savoury). |
Sweet vanilla seeds & extract of vanilla...
Vanilla is like nothing else, having a unique flavour all of its own. We list both the vanilla pod, and extract.
It is the flavouring used in custard, as well as ice-cream and many desserts and confectionery. | Sweet, soft and mildly spiced... Ginger that has been sweetened is generally used in baking and desserts. Uses: Its soft fruity texture and flavour makes sweet ginger ideal for fruit cakes, gingerbread recipes and other desserts. |
A naturally sweet nut with a thousand uses...Healthy Supplies offer a range of almonds that have been prepared for you unblanched, flaked and powdered. Uses: Almonds are used often in cake, biscuit, tart & scone recipes. Ground almond can be mixed with other flours whilst baking to develop a marzipan-like taste. Perhaps try flaked almonds with savoury dishes like honey roast chicken or stir fry. | Sweet chestnut puree, flour & whole.
Chestnuts are highly nutritious, and are a particularly low-calorie nut. Surprisingly, they are quite high in Vitamin C. They have a sweet flavour and compliment various cake and sweet recipes very well. Chestnut puree is comonly used in gluten free baking. |
Warming spice that compliments sweets...
This is the "sweet" form of cinnamon, which is suited to cakes, sweets and mulled wine. It originates from Madagascar. Commonly, cinnamon is enjoyed with apple, custard and biscuits. | A warm, subtle flavoured spice...
Nutmeg is a dried nut. It can be used to flavour baking and cooking. Ground or grated, it has a unique flavour.
Uses: Nutmeg can be used in custard-based or cheese-based recipes, seasoning biscuits, crumbles & pies, and in drinks such as eggnog and mulled wine. Many associate it with Christmas flavours, whilst others use it as savoury addition to jerk pastes and marinades. |
Cloves are probably the strongest flavour in most mulled wine. You can optionally grind the cloves finely before adding them to the wine, otherwise they tend to float around. Or, you can push the cloves into segments of orange before putting the whole lot in the pot. | Star Anise is similar in flavour to aniseed, and is commonly used in Chinese cooking, as well as in India. It can be crushed or used whole, and is a very strong spice with many medicinal uses. Star anise is also used in mulled wine, and does have a slightly more "Christmassy" flavour than normal aniseed. |
