Whole Foods
At Go Vita Tenterfield we believe that the food you eat can have a profound impact on your health. We have made it our mission to source a wide range of certified organically grown, or pesticide free whole food ingredients and pantry essentials to provide you with the nutrition you need to improve and maintain your health.
Our whole food range includes seeds such as Chia, Flaxseed (or linseed), Millet, Sunflower, Quinoa, Pepita, Sesame and Hemp, (and more!)
Chia is a gluten-free seed originally from South America that is high in essential fatty acids, Vitamins A, B, E, and D, and a wide range of minerals including calcium and magnesium. Our dietitian is able to provide recommendations and recipe ideas from our extensive selection of whole foods to meet your individual needs.
Flaxseeds are also called Linseeds and are a great dietary source of Omega 3 fatty acids, as well as Omega 9 and Omega 6. Flaxseed is also a source of protein, dietary fibre (both soluble and insoluble), B Vitamins and Minerals. Flaxseeds are used whole, ground into a meal and as an oil.
Hemp Seeds provide a high quality and easily digestible source of plant protein with a complete amino acid profile. Hemp has the perfect omega 3, 6, 9 ratios for humans and is a source of Gamma-Linolenic acid which helps prevent inflammation. It is a source of phytosterols which help control Cholesterol levels within our bodies and is also a great source of Vitamin A and D, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Zinc.
At Go Vita Tenterfield we want to have readily available all the basic ingredients, pantry essentials (and some of the other odd ingredients a recipe may call for) you require for you and your family to be as healthy as possible.
