Pulses are a nutritious, high protein, high fibre, low fat staple food. Better still, they cost very little and store well in dried form (perfect for when times are hard). Pulses can be cooked from dry, made into flour and some can be sprouted (i.e bean sprouts). They make a filling and satisfying addition to: curries, soups, stews, chilli dishes, pie fillings, burgers, salads and cous cous.
Popular pulses: Aduki beans, Soya beans, French lentils, Black Turtle beans, Mung beans and Chick peas.  | Beetroot is a naturally very sweet, reddish purple root vegetable. It is rich in magnesium, Iron and antioxidants like Beta-carotene. Beetroot contains virtually no fat or calories. It can be dried, boiled, pickled and juiced. We supply beetroot crisps, snacks, juice and seeds to sprout. |

Carrots are a good source of antioxidants, fibre and vitamins. They have a sweet flavour and are eaten as part of a substantial meal. At Healthy Supplies we offer lots of carrot products, including carrot crisps, carrot powder and carrot soup. | Mushrooms add flavour and texture to a dish. They are soft and yet have something to chew on. Mushrooms are quite meaty in flavour, particularly when dried. We sell dried mushrooms which re-hydrate fully in water, and mushrooms in jars. Available mushrooms: Shiitake, Porcini, Oyster, Chantarelle and Maitake. |

Dark green curly kale contains many vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Usually, the leaves are incorporated into salads and eaten as they are. These kale chips are something a bit more special: Naturally dried and still raw, these crispy nuggets are coated in delicious spicy, nutty seasonings. They are very addictive, healthy little snacks! | Subtly sweet and zingy, onion is a popular ingredient is so many savoury recipes. It is related to chives, garlic and spring onion and is available here in pure, dried form. |
|
Bell peppers are naturally quite sweet and have no heat like chilli peppers do. Bell peppers are used in Mediterranean, Oriental and Middle Eastern cuisine but add flavour to most savoury meals. This is the sort of pepper chopped into salads, or stuffed with rice or cous cous, or used to make salsa, soup, bolognese sauce and paella. | Potato flakes and flourIf you want instant mashed potato, try our Sussex Wholefoods Potato Flakes which contains no salt and no preservatives. Potato is great for thickening soups and sauces. |

Seaweed (aka: sea vegetables or sea salad leaves) are a very nutritious, containing fibre, protein, iodine, calcium and magnesium. Like a leafy green, it can be used as you would spinach or cabbage. Seaweed can be added to soups, stir fries and stews. It is often chopped up and added to flour for pasta, noodles and bread. Seaweed is used in sushi (where Nori strips are wrapped around rice and other ingredients to make bite sized food). | Soya is particularly useful for vegetarians, as it is very versatile and high in protein. This means that it can be used to create things like soy mince and soya chunks. |
|
The savoury fruit. Sun dried tomatoes are the perfect topping for salads, pasta, pizza or risotto. They have a rich concentrated tomato flavour. We sell dry tomatoes (non-jarred) and organic tomato puree at great value. | |
