Diverse and Dynamic: Emerging Trends from ECRM’s Natural, Organic, and Healthy Foods Session
September 20, 2024
Nancy Trent
The natural and organic food space continues to evolve, meeting the growing consumer demand for products that are as good for the planet as they are for personal health. At ECRM’s Natural, Organic & Healthy Foods Session in Indian Wells, CA, industry leaders, retailers, and innovators converged to showcase the latest in clean, sustainable, and nutritious offerings. This highly anticipated event highlighted not only the newest brands and products but also the overarching trends shaping the future of the industry.
"We continue to see more suppliers focusing on key ingredients, with a focus on healthy, better-for-you," said Tyler Barich, VP of Grocery at ECRM. "We had a dynamic group of retailers (including mainstream grocers & alternative channels) who are continuing to diversify their product assortments and healthier options for consumers."
Here are some of the most significant trends and purpose-driven brands that are paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable food industry:
Sustainability & Regenerative Agriculture
"Consumers are growing increasingly aware of the importance of both people and planet,” said Abby Massey, Senior Business Development Manager at Fairtrade America.  “As they walk the grocery store and make purchasing decisions, seeing the Fairtrade Mark on their favorite products provides them with the assurance that the ingredients are ethically and sustainably sourced, and verified by an independent third party. Since 2019, we've seen an 118% growth in consumer awareness of Fairtrade in the US with trust levels reaching an impressive 86% among consumers who know Fairtrade."
Sustainability is at the heart of the natural food movement, and regenerative agriculture is the next frontier. Brands that prioritize planet-friendly practices are redefining what it means to produce healthy, nutrient-dense foods while healing the Earth.
Bluebird Grain Farms offers 100% certified organic ancient whole grains, milled fresh and farmed using regenerative practices. Their grains including emmer, spelt and einkorn provide a unique farm-to-table experience that’s both nutritious and sustainable.
Alter Eco Foods delivers indulgence with a purpose. Their delicious organic chocolates, granola, and quinoa are made using clean ingredients within regenerative ecosystems. With sustainable packaging and carbon-neutral practices, they are a Certified B Corporation dedicated to healing the planet.
Avelina crafts premium, farm-to-table oats that are gluten-free, non-GMO, and packed with essential nutrients—perfect for a healthy breakfast or recipe ingredient.
Spring Creek Quail Farms offers quail eggs as a nutrient-rich, humane alternative to chicken eggs. These keto-friendly, eco-packaged eggs are hormone and antibiotic-free, providing an affordable protein source.
The Healthy Snacking Boom
As consumers embrace mindful eating, healthy snacks are on the rise. People are looking for snacks that pack a nutritional punch without sacrificing taste, and brands are responding with creative, guilt-free options.
Coaslink Corp specializes in vacuum-fried Shiitake Mushroom Chips, a crunchy, vegan snack that achieves a perfect balance of nutrition and flavor, led by an innovative female CEO.
Top Fox keeps it simple with crunchy, pop-roasted pumpkin seeds. These organic, non-GMO snacks are an excellent source of clean protein.
Plant-Based and Allergen-Free Innovation
Plant-based products continue to gain traction as consumers seek alternatives to animal-based ingredients and allergen-free options. The rise of plant-based eating has also spurred innovation in unexpected categories.
Pretty Tasty Tea offers rejuvenating and delicious collagen tea with 10 grams of collagen peptides per serving. Sugar-free, allergen-free, non-GMO and gluten-free, this tea promotes joint, skin, hair, and nail health in super great looking cans.
Garden Goddess brings ancient remedies into the modern health-conscious lifestyle with their organic, vegan Beet Kvass, a fermented tonic packed with probiotics that boost gut health, immunity, and mental clarity as well as the most creative recipes for sauerkraut that I have seen.
WOOP4 redefines plant-based seafood with their allergen-free fish substitute made from natural ingredients, offering a perfect texture for sushi, tartare, and poke dishes. They even make a plant-based piraña that has become a media darling.
Low Glycemic & Low-Sugar Options
As consumers become more aware of the impact of sugar on health, brands are developing low-glycemic and sugar-free alternatives that allow people to enjoy sweetness without the associated health risks.
Choward’s has maintained its timeless appeal with flavorful mints and gums since the 1930s, offering a low-glycemic, sugar-conscious indulgence that has stood the test of time and has enjoyed a resurgence as retro candy delights hipsters. 
International Flavors
Global cuisine continues to influence the natural food industry, offering consumers exciting and authentic flavors from around the world. The push for diversity in food is expanding palates and bringing international delicacies to mainstream markets.
United With Earth specializes in ethnic produce like Medjool dates, coconut and almond date rolls, and Persian cucumbers. This minority-owned company is dedicated to sustainable farming and health-conscious foods.
Kibun Foods USA imports high-quality, easy-to-prepare surimi seafood from Japan and Thailand, bringing authentic Asian flavors to everyday meals. Their Healthy Noodles as we as their Natti are not to be missed! 
Pozole (Pozolazo) offers a dehydrated soup made from traditional Aztec recipes, keeping authentic flavors intact while embracing modern, health-conscious production processes. ‱
Regal Kitchen Foods makes pre-cooked vegetarian Indian meals ready in 90 seconds, blending convenience with 100% natural, organic, gluten-free, and plant-based ingredients.
The Future of Natural Foods
ECRM’s Natural, Organic & Healthy Foods Session reinforced the natural food industry’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and health. The trends showcased at this event reflect a growing consumer demand for diverse, healthy, and environmentally conscious products. Participants left with fresh insights and new connections, poised to succeed in an increasingly dynamic market.

The Ultimate Guide to Purchasing Platinum Jewelry
Tumblr media
When it comes to buying platinum jewelry, shoppers in California are spoiled for choice. From the glitzy boutiques of Beverly Hills to the trendy shops in San Francisco, there’s a dazzling array of platinum pieces available. However, purchasing platinum jewelry is a significant investment that requires careful consideration. Here are some expert tips to ensure you make an informed and satisfying purchase.
1. Understand the Value of Platinum
Platinum is one of the most precious metals, prized for its rarity, durability, and natural white luster. Unlike white gold, which requires rhodium plating to maintain its color, platinum retains its silvery sheen over time. Its hypoallergenic properties make it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. Recognizing these attributes helps in appreciating the intrinsic value of platinum jewelry and justifies its higher price point.
2. Know the Purity Standards
Platinum jewelry is usually marked with purity stamps, indicating the percentage of pure platinum contained. Common marks include 950 or 900, which means the piece contains 95% or 90% platinum, respectively. Higher purity levels generally translate to better quality and greater value. Always check for these stamps to ensure you are getting genuine platinum.
3. Choose Reputable Jewelers
In California, the reputation of the jeweler is paramount. Established stores like Tiffany & Co. in Beverly Hills, Shreve & Co. in San Francisco, and De Beers in Costa Mesa are known for their exceptional quality and service. These jewelers adhere to strict standards and offer guarantees on their products. Additionally, consider jewelers who are members of professional organizations such as the Jewelers of America or the American Gem Society, which uphold ethical business practices.
4. Evaluate Craftsmanship
The craftsmanship of platinum jewelry is crucial to its overall appearance and longevity. Inspect the piece closely for any signs of poor workmanship, such as rough edges, uneven settings, or loose stones. Quality platinum jewelry should have a smooth finish and securely set gemstones. Don’t hesitate to ask the jeweler about the design and manufacturing process to understand the level of skill involved.
5. Consider the Design and Style
Platinum’s versatility allows for a wide range of designs, from classic to contemporary. When selecting a piece, consider your personal style and how the jewelry will complement your wardrobe. In California, where fashion trends can be quite dynamic, timeless designs often offer the best value and wearability. Whether it’s a simple platinum band or an intricate diamond-studded necklace, choose a design that resonates with your taste and lifestyle.
6. Inquire About After-Sales Services
Reputable jewelers typically offer a range of after-sales services, including cleaning, resizing, and repairs. These services are essential for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your platinum jewelry over time. Ask about warranty details and whether the store provides lifetime maintenance. Knowing that your investment is protected can provide peace of mind.
7. Compare Prices and Shop Around
While platinum is generally more expensive than other metals, prices can vary significantly between jewelers. Take the time to compare prices and explore different stores across California. Don’t rush your decision; instead, gather information and make a well-informed choice. Online reviews and recommendations can also be helpful in identifying reputable jewelers and avoiding potential pitfalls.
8. Consider Ethical and Sustainable Practices
Many California consumers are increasingly concerned about the ethical and environmental impact of their purchases. Look for jewelers who source their platinum responsibly and are committed to sustainable practices. Certifications such as Fairtrade and Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) membership can indicate a jeweler’s commitment to ethical standards.
Conclusion
Buying platinum jewelry is a significant and rewarding investment. By understanding the value of platinum, choosing reputable jewelers, evaluating craftsmanship, considering design, and inquiring about after-sales services, you can make a purchase that you will cherish for years to come. jewelry stores in california offers a wealth of options for platinum jewelry, so take your time, shop around, and enjoy the process of finding that perfect piece.

Social Impact of Specialty Coffee
Specialty coffee is not just about quality and flavor. It is also about ethics and sustainability. Specialty coffee consumers are increasingly demanding information about where their coffee comes from and what social and environmental impact their purchase has. This puts pressure on roasters to source ethically produced coffee and support the communities they buy their coffee from. Specialty coffees are coffees that have been grown, processed, and roasted with high standards of quality and sustainability. They are often certified by organizations such as Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, or Organic, or sourced directly from the producers by roasters who care about their social and environmental impact.
Tumblr media
But what does it mean to support the communities at origin? It means engaging in social initiatives that drive positive change in areas such as health, education, sanitation, infrastructure, gender equity, and production methods. These initiatives can be collaborative efforts between roasters, traders, producers, and producer organizations. Coffee is not just a beverage, it's a livelihood for millions of people around the world. According to the World Bank, around 25 million families depend on coffee production for their income, and 80% of the global coffee supply is produced by smallholder farmers. However, these farmers face many challenges, such as low and volatile prices, climate change, pests and diseases, lack of access to credit and markets, and poor infrastructure and education.
For example, The Coffee Source, a trader based in Costa Rica, is involved in a range of different social initiatives across Latin America. In Peru, they focus on education. In Colombia, they support female coffee producers who have been affected by armed conflict. In Costa Rica, they operate daycare centers for migrant workers.
Another example is the World Bank's Sustainable Coffee Program, which aims to improve the livelihoods of coffee farmers by promoting sustainable practices and increasing market access. The program has supported more than 100,000 farmers in 12 countries and has generated positive social impacts such as rising farm incomes, more stable employment possibilities for farm workers, enhanced access to health care and education, and reduced child labor.
These are just some of the many examples of how specialty coffee can have a social impact at origin. As we have seen, these social initiatives can help change the lives of coffee producers and improve their quality of life over generations. In turn, roasters can generate positive social impact and truly connect with the people who produce their coffee.

Which brand dark chocolate healthiest?
Dark chocolate that has a high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or more) and is minimally processed tends to be the healthiest option. The health benefits of dark chocolate are attributed to the flavanols and antioxidants found in cocoa. These compounds have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, cognitive function, and lower risk of certain chronic diseases.
Here are a few brands that offer high-quality, healthy dark chocolate options:
Lindt Excellence 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate
Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate 86% Cacao
Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate 85% Cacao
Alter Eco Organic Dark Chocolate 85% Cacao
Endangered Species Chocolate Extreme Dark Chocolate 88% Cacao
It is important to keep in mind that while dark chocolate does have health benefits, it is still high in calories and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Is Organic dark chocolate healthy?
Organic dark chocolate can be a healthy food choice when consumed in moderation. Dark chocolate that contains a high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or more) is rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, which have been linked to various health benefits, such as improved heart health, cognitive function, and lower risk of certain chronic diseases.
Organic dark chocolate is made from cocoa beans that have been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means that organic dark chocolate may contain fewer harmful chemicals and may be more sustainable for the environment.
However, it is important to note that not all organic dark chocolate products are created equal, and some may contain high amounts of added sugars and unhealthy fats. Therefore, it is important to choose organic dark chocolate that is minimally processed and has a high percentage of cocoa solids. Additionally, as with any food, it is important to consume dark chocolate in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
What is the safest dark chocolate to eat?
The safest dark chocolate to eat is one that is made from high-quality, minimally processed ingredients and does not contain harmful additives or contaminants. Here are some tips to help you choose a safe and healthy dark chocolate:
Look for organic dark chocolate: Choose organic dark chocolate that has been certified by a reputable agency, such as the USDA, to ensure that it has been produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Check the ingredient list: Choose dark chocolate that contains only a few simple, natural ingredients, such as cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar. Avoid dark chocolate that contains added vegetable oils, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
Choose high cocoa content: Choose dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or more) to ensure that you are getting a higher concentration of antioxidants and flavonoids.
Check for certifications: Look for dark chocolate that has been certified as fair trade or Rainforest Alliance Certified, which means that the cocoa beans have been sourced sustainably and workers have been treated fairly.
Avoid brands with a history of recalls: Check to see if the dark chocolate brand you are considering has a history of recalls or safety issues.
Overall, choosing a high-quality, minimally processed organic dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids and sustainable sourcing practices can help ensure that you are eating a safe and healthy dark chocolate.

Hey, my-mt! Love what you do on here.
I think some of your followers are weird though, including your anons. Not to be rude. :) What are they going to next, condemn NR for buying a sweater or starting a textile business that isn't FairTrade certified, so he would be contributing to the dis-empowering of Awamaki women in South America? (And don't anyone come for me, I come from a whole family of Natives).
I am trying to be cheeky, but my point is that voicing your opinion is one thing. Coming across as social justice police is something else. There are things that are actually illegal. If you put your money into something, knowing it is subject to theft...?
What about captialists who build casinos that destroy Native American communities? What about celebrities who are shareholders in the prison system, who get paid to unfairly place men (most of them African-American men) behind bars? What about a certain association I won't even name that are trying to present the case that pedophilia is a sexual orientation, so that they can impress upon underage boys and girls? What about oil drilling projects done by America under a certain presidential administration that dug oil out in a certain province in South America that polluted that villages' water supply, and gave the children serious defects? People have stock in commodities like oil, too, you know. And it hurts people.
NFTs, NFTs, NFTs. Enough already. I bet if some of these people were netting millions of dollars from it, they wouldn't be vocal at all, no matter who was being disenfranchised because of it. As Americans say, I'm calling a spade a spade.
Haha sorry that some of your followers are weird. I am too, though, so I am included! XD
I have no idea what the discourse is like on other platforms, but as far as my blog goes, I didn't think anyone was coming off as weird or acting like the social justice police. Like I said, I don't really have a stake in this discussion beyond what I've already argued, though I do welcome your thoughts.
I am going to cut it off here though. Any asks related to NFTs will be deleted because this is getting fairly political, which is just not my brand.

Costa Rican Adventure - Day 2
Costa Rican Adventure – Day 2

Finally got a good nights sleep though we rose early enough to take a walk up the road passed McDonalds to a cafe for breakfast and take away coffee. It took longer than we thought and ended up having to rush to get the bags from the room and pile into the minivan. We left San Jose and headed into the mountains. The scenery was stunning as we drove by forests and coffee plantations on winding

Pulling out the throwback picture for this week’s Dandelion Effect Podcast episode: Regenerating Our Food, Soil and Community with Jim Barngrover. Jim has over four decades of experience in organic gardening, farming and marketing local and fairtrade products. In 1987, he co-founded @timelessnaturalfood — a company dedicated to alternative agriculture through organic annual legumes like peas and lentils. What began as a venture between four friends has put Montana on the map as America’s largest producer of lentils! In this conversation, Jim walks us through his journey from farmer’s son to ROTC student, activist, gardener, prison horticulture director, and back to farmer. In his young adult life, he moved from Wyoming to Montana in search of a more progressive existence and serendipitously stumbled into the Feathered Pipe Ranch after meeting India Supera in Missoula. Here, he felt more connected to the Earth and the land than he ever had before, and it sparked the inspiration for a life of service both to human health and environmental health. Jim speaks to the chemically-dependent industrial farming complex in America, the reasons why he farms with organic and regenerative practices and encourages others to do the same, the lessons that he’s learned from working in harmony with the land, and how lentils work to reduce erosion, build organic matter, and provide natural nitrogen fertilizer for other crops. He’s hopeful about how many young farmers are making the shift to more sustainable practices and emphasizes how much power consumers have in the fight to change our food systems. Listen on Spotify, Apple, Google or wherever you get your podcasts! #regenerativeagriculture #organicfarming #organicfarmer #healingfoods #kisstheground #farmersfootprint #soilhealth #legumes #timelessnaturalfood — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2TC18j4

Understandably, my great uncle, Marcus Garvey was misled by satan into endorsing the #slavetrade facility, created by pagans called #panafricanism.
I was also panafricanism as a profferred ideology, until I independently went to Africa in the 90s, and amongst other discoveries, saw that it was a prettily packaged, concept of malintent, created to apply human trafficking, or slave trading, and is similar to such things and phrases as " new world order ", a concept to promote mass murder, to the agenda of a league. Like santa claus, which actually is a satanic entity from east of Germany, it still sounds kind of attractive, from a distance, due to the imagery imbued in it!
panafricanism is a way to expand slave trade, without checks or account.
It's no surprise then, that in a eu state this week, ( romania ), someone was recently tried for trafficking over 1,000 vulnerable children, with intent to rob and burgle across all eu and other possible countries.
There are various reports of other activities against communities in United States of America and other places, which have received greater exposure, since the USElection2016 of United States President Donald John Trump, and his attention to the more effective protection and security of USA by improving US Military, and US Secret Service.
The eu is defined as a #paneuropean operation. #panamerican is operated across America by nafta, #panasian across Asia and Australia by asean, and panafrican across Africa by ecowas.
From the evidence, facts and truths I have witnessed, asean, ecowas, eu and nafta are the regional panafrican, panamerican, panasian and paneuropean entities, to manage the their activities under united nations holdings.
When you look beyond aesthetics, the Holy Bible, and other scriptures, reveal these in clues. This explains to me why the serpents, ( most main stream media and other plagiarist entities such as politics, religions, showbiz, sports and such ), are used to manipulate the ways of masses, in order to flatter and trick to the agenda of the league or cabal.
Watched closely, most main stream media and aid agencies promote projects which cause #familybreakdown, and war, diseases and distresses.
The Holy Bible refers to and defines the system called by such names as telnet, vax, superhighway, world wide web, internet, etcetera, as ' the backbone of the beast '.
Family breakdown is explained all through the Holy Scriptures including in the books of #Genesis, #Exodus, #Leviticus, #Deuteronomy, #Proverbs and #Revelations, and in spite of the multiple edits and obfuscations by those who support satanic or sat-un-ic agendas, ( most often those in politics and showbiz, the largest industries in this world over the millenias ), the references to Ethiopia, Ghana and Jamaica can be found. It was during my trips in Africa, that I discovered that many of the prophets and lands mentioned are in truth what are now called 'African'.
By cunning manipulation by organized crime entities, such as created by sat-un and its use of family breakdown, manipulation of the health, history and security of communities, panafricanism, as diesel being presented as ' clean ' in 2000, is presented, offered then enforced on compliant communities prepared to prostitute or embrace the sat-un-ic entities. They force people to focus on micro aspects, while they're being distracted from the greater agendas.
I was shocked when I overheard on multiple occasions, a relation reply to a question when she was asked ' what good she was achieving by dating a racist European', by her friends, that he maintained her house, bought her things and took her on expensive foreign holidays. Approval by society?
This may also explain why aid agencies operate plots and plans to encourage division of family, and therefore phrases such as " it takes a village to raise a child ".
It sounds pretty at glance, but then ask them,
" how many of your kids were raised by villages; or is that a facility to only be applied to those you consider as live stock for your exploitation? "
Due to #familybreakdown, most people, in spite of the abundance of evidences, still believe that there were no Negast, Akhan and other people from Africa in America, before the 1400s!
A combination of lessons from my daddy, my own observations and my research led me to discover that Negast or Nigga people have been established in America since at least the second century ' before christ ', about 2,200 years ago, long before Gama, Vespucci and Columbus, but family breakdown is designed by sat-un to hide knowledge and cause confusion, and the desire for social approval.
I see panafricanism as abject racism, to facilitate human trafficking, prostitution and slave trading, in support of the ' new world order ' agendas.
This also explains why, a un general secretary, the late Kofi annan, though born in, raised and very familiar with Africa and african cultures, never addressed the proliferate slave or barbaric, abominable, infidel, pagan practices across the whole world, and other matters. It took the babies nursed by western white women and islamic cultures to identify, and bring to world attention and action, the slave trade, and child slavery, then to develop and implement the system we now call #FairTrade.
During and following the severe droughts in Somalia, Ethiopia, and such, brought to our attention by pop stars like Midge Ure, Boy George, Michael Jackson, Bob Geldof, and many others pop music superstars, after some rains during dry season months in the 90s, the un administrators were at very first trying to figure a way to secure their continued funding. They'd rather flies, swollen bellied kids, than lose their funding. That's beyond sadastic politics.
As a result, in 1995, on an Indian Ocean or such island, I heard that they convened meetings. From those meetings, ( I figure ), they developed the ' jihadi ' and ' climate change ' narratives.
I discovered that the united nations pays up to $120,000.00 for a slave in the eu, while serpents ( main stream media entities ) distract the public with prejudices, pecuniary and other means. There hasn't been a war in Nigeria since the 1970s, so how come so many refugees claiming asylum in Europe, America and so on?
Iraq is further away from Nigeria than Nigeria is from France. People seeking social approval, never question obvious things.
Do you remember when many billions of US dollars, UK pounds, etcetera, were used to justify the mass slaughter of, ( say ), native Americans?
It was, until very recently, acceptable, encouraged and taught to children!
As a young kid of 5, 6, 7, etcetera, ( being Crazy ), I used to wonder
"why?
Couldn't they find a way to be friends, and ' make things better? '.
"
There is and always will be enough for everyone and more.
đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ˜‚đŸ˜‚
Never forget; God Jah is Greatest. Those who have a sat-un-ic agendas will try and countermand that position by many means.
Ras Tafari is the way of love, which brings peace and prosperity, irrespective of whether this is subsequently claimed by sat-un and or its serpents. The Most High God Jah states specifically that it is a vanity and a sin to work for nought. Where ever the counsel of Rastafarians is heeded, respected and adhered to, results in meaningful peace and prosperity.
Our Creator God Jah is truly greatest.
We give praises, glory, blessings and thanks to the Creator of the Universes, the Most High God Jah.
