The Omega Excellence range is now finding its way into the most revered health food stores, farm shops and kitchens of leading nutritionists and discerning chefs. All of the products are made from premium-quality nuts, seeds and vinegars, are vegan and are certified organic. What’s more, the ingredients are sourced, wherever possible, from the UK and Europe to continue to reduce Higher Nature’s carbon footprint. The packaging is also recyclable and heat- and light-stable, giving the products a much longer shelf life – and there’s no need to refrigerate them before use, either!

I've been using the Organic Coconut Butter. You can use in in place of margarine or butter and it tastes just fine spread on bread, you wouldn't know it was coconut. It is a little awkward to spread as it's 'crumbly' but soon softens up - much easier than butter. You can use it in baking and works great in biscuits, cakes, muffins, pies and pancake batter.

It doesn't contain sugar, salt, starch, soya, yeast, gluten, corn, lactose, dairy products, colours, preservatives or flavourings.

Coconut butter is a safe and healthy cooking oil - it doesn't create toxic trans-fats when warmed and doesn't raise cholesterol levels. It is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which is an excellent source of energy and may also aid in weight management. They also do a version that still has the coconut aroma and flavour.

It's available in 200g or 400g jars.



Organic Wild Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar is made from the freshly squeezed juice of organically harvested Pomegranates grown wild in Europe.

Try mixing into salad dressings, marinades, sauces, soups, stews, and other savoury dishes. Drizzle on to sliced strawberries, kiwis, raspberries or peaches or for a refreshing drink, add a teaspoon or two to a cup of hot or cold water.
