One of the many challenges of running an organic business is the consistent supply of ingredients. Over the past few months Organic home grown Oats have been impossible to source! So we want to say a very big thank you for your patience and warm wishes through the turbulence. And while we haven't been mixing and baking we've rolled up our sleeves and tackled some of the other jobs that just never get done; like our first newsletter, and moving to a bigger premises so we can grow and bake some new recipes. - Dympna Fitzpatrick (Founder of Bodymatter)

Did you know that almonds are an absolute power house of nutritional benefits? They are super rich in protein and essential fatty acids, which makes for great protection of your heart and circulation. They are full of Thiamin, great for the nervous system and Folic acid that lowers high levels of homocysteine (a big indicator of heart disease) in your blood. Folic acid is also essential in the growth and formation of red and white blood cells in your bone marrow and is known to help protect against neural tube defects, pre-conceptually and in early pregnancy.

And as if that wasn't enough, to add to it all, they are bursting with vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to prevent cholesterol causing fatty build ups in your arteries. Other healthy ingredients include calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and oleic acid. And the best news of all is that our tasty Original Granola is packed with ground almonds, to make sure you get a good and healthy start to your day.
