添 柴 添 福 傳統竹炭 這可不是一般燒飯用的木炭，而是堅硬高密度的竹炭。 竹片經過三十天接近攝氏1000度的高溫燒制後再急速冷 卻，這過程燒制出來的竹炭有多孔的特性，增加其表面 面積，平均每公克竹炭的面積可達700平方米，比一般 木炭高出一倍。它超強的吸附功能可幫助去除水中的雜 質和氯。放入飲用水中或魚缸裡可淨化水質，放入飯鍋 中燒飯，能使竹炭釋放天然礦物質，讓米飯的味道口感 更好！

Traditional Bamboo Charcoal Plate Bamboo charcoal is produced by burning bamboo at temperature close to 1,000°C for over 30 days and then cooled down in a very short time. This process increases the porosity of bamboo and surface area of bamboo charcoal to about 700m2/g, which is two times higher than wood charcoal; giving it a super absorptive force to remove impurities. It is excellent for water purification by removing chlorine residues and other impurities. Just put it in your drinking water, aquarium and also use it for rice cooking!

七 巧 好 米

有機七穀米 吃白米好還是糙米好？ 白米在加工的過程中，外糠及胚芽已被去除，而其中最 豐富的主要營養素，也隨著流失。因為纖維也已被去 除，所以還會造成便秘。 全穀米比精制米更能提供飽足感、味覺上的豐富感、能 量與耐力，以及促進神經系統的平衡性，促進深沉的睡 眠，敏捷的反應，增強記憶，使思考能審慎周密。 我們錯失了食物原有的完整營養，不均勻的營養當然也 令我們失去健康。今天就為你的米缸填滿全穀米。細心 品嘗，你會發現一道白米所欠缺的全穀米香。

Organic Multigrain Rice Brown or white? 80% or more nutrients (mostly valuable vitamin Bs, fibre from the bran, vitamin E and minerals from the germs) are lost in the process of milling and refining brown rice to produce white rice. The process left behind just starch that could cause overweight, constipation and other health problems. The process also spoiled the natural flavour and aroma of the grains. As a result, synthetic fragrances are often added.

Food created by Mother Nature has balanced nutrients essential for providing our body energy and endurance, calm our nerves and encourage deep sleep. Whole grain promotes elimination, quick reflexes, long memory and clear thinking.

Stop the “white diet” now and GO WHOLEFOOD!

健 康 加 油

有機烹飪油 傳統烹飪一向少不了煎炸爆 炒，尤其是在新春佳節。一般 食油經過氫化、漂白、除雜味 等加工精煉，再添加防腐劑等 化學成份，這種油不但沒有營 養，還會增加體內壞膽固醇、 降低好膽固醇、濃化血液及加 重肝膽的負擔。 Why Not?™有機烹飪油是以含 高油酸的葵花籽油及芝麻油特 別調配而成。其中特選品種的 葵花籽含有較高的單元不飽和 脂肪酸，因此油質特別穩定； 而芝麻油富含天然抗氧化劑， 因此能夠耐高溫而不變質。 Why Not?™有機烹飪油的發煙 點高達246˚C，在高溫烹調時 也能保持油質穩定，是家家戶 戶廚房掌舵人的健康選擇。

Organic Cooking Oil Traditionally, Asians are accustomed to deep or stir fry our food, especially during festive seasons. Most conventional cooking oils today are extracted at high temperature using chemical solvents and are then bleached, refined, deodorized and hydrogenated.

During cooking, these oils produce trans-fat that could increase bad cholesterol, reduce good cholesterol, thicken our blood as well as add burden to our liver.

Why Not?™ Organic Cooking Oil is a special blend of high oleic sunflower seed oil and unrefined sesame oil. High oleic sunflower seed oil is exceptionally stable due to the higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids and sesame oil contains antioxidants which make this oil resistant to heat. Combination of these two oils produce cooking oil with high smoking point (246˚C) making it ideal especially for high heat cooking.

盐 年 益 寿

有機香料鹽 一般家裡廚房的白鹽都是精制鹽。白鹽的“純白無瑕”是 經過化學漂白和高溫烘乾而成，除了鈉以外，白鹽幾乎 不含維持人體細胞正常代謝所需的微量元素。 Sonnentor香料鹽是以海鹽、酵母粉和12種香料特別調 配而成，不但含有源自海鹽的豐富微量元素，其中的 香料也是天然抗氧化劑的來源，是每家廚房必備的調 味鹽。以Sonnentor香料鹽取代白鹽來烹調食物，更健 康、更有營養，也更美味！

Organic 12-Herbs Salt Ordinary table salt is usually harvested from salt mine and it is refined to remove impurities so it gives the salt a pure white colour. After the refining process, it has been stripped off valuable trace elements vital for the body and comprised of merely sodium chloride.

Specially blended from sea salt, yeast and 12 types of organically grown herbs, Sonnentor 12-Herbs Salt is a classic seasoning and should be part of every kitchen.

It has a vast array of vital trace elements such as iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iodine found in hand harvested sea salt.

Sonnentor 12-Herbs Salt is highly versatile, it enhances the aroma of soups, salad, stew and etc. Use it almost everywhere you would use salt for better taste and nutrition!

天 酱 鸿 福

有機日本醬清 嘗嘗四百年留傳日本古方釀制 醬油，每一瓶都經過兩個夏天 之久的發酵期，采用有機黃 豆、冬麥及海鹽等原料，以低 鹽、不添加任何化學成份，完 全天然發酵制成。 一般醬油采用的原料是化學植 物蛋白 (hydrolysed vegetable protein, HVP)、酒精、糖精、精 鹽等，還含有味精、色素及防 腐劑。這類醬油不須發酵，一 天就可完成，但會產生一種叫 3-MCPD的致癌物。 能品味真材實料，滴滴香醇濃 郁又營養豐富的頂級醬油，才 真是天降鴻福呢！

Japanese Organic Shoyu Savour shoyu made of 400-year old traditional fermentation method.

Each bottle of The Bites™ Shoyu has gone through a natural fermentation process that span over at least two summers.

The Bites™ Shoyu is naturally fermented with carefully selected ingredients including organic soya beans, organic wheat grains and sea salt.

Conventional shoyu is usually made of synthetic ingredients such as hydrolysed vegetable protein (HVP), alcohol, artificial sweetener, refined salt, MSG, synthetic colouring and preservatives. This type of seasoning can be processed within a day and could produce a compound called 3-MCPD, which is cancer causing.

It is indeed a blessing to taste the authentic and nutritious traditional shoyu from Japan.

醋 入 平 安

有機蘋果醋 大家都知道醋能養顏養生， 但如何選好醋呢？ 一般市售的醋是化學合成而 非釀制的，通常提煉自石化 工業中的冰醋酸，加入調味 制成。這種化學醋會對人體 造成傷害。 Why Not?™有機蘋果醋是采用 生機律動法，biodynamic栽 種的有機苹果釀制而成，不 但不含化學添加，其能量比 一般的有機醋更高，每天飲 用，可調整酸性體質，保 健腸胃。在食物中加點Why Not?™有機蘋果醋，可保留 食物的營養，即可調味，還 能促進消化。 潔膚、醒酒、泡浴、除菌...， 醋有百用，所以家家必備， 以保出入平安。

Apple Cider Vinegar Vinegar has long known for its health properties in many cultures.

How do we choose the one with the right quality?

Why Not?™ Apple Cider Vinegar is produced using apples from biodyanmic farms. Biodynamic is about working in harmony with nature—caring for the soil by the use of plant preparations.

Why Not?™ Apple Cider Vinegar helps to balance body acidity. Add a tablespoon of Why Not?™ Apple Cider Vinegar in food can help to enhance flavour, retain nutrients and aid digestion.

Apple cider vinegar has multi-functions; it can be used as face wash for acne, for a detox bath or anti-bacterial floor cleaner etc. It is a MUST HAVE for every family!

自 在 绿 茶

有機茉莉綠茶 中國人喝茶已有五千多年的歷史，客來敬茶，是中國人 好客的傳統禮俗，小小一盞好茶，注滿著主人的深情厚 愛。 茶當然也有優劣之分，若不謹慎選購，很可能買到添加 色素，人造香劑或遭超標農藥污染的劣茶。許多袋泡 茶，還是用已不能飲用的下腳料（茶灰）制成，喝多了 會導致肝中毒。 不如泡壺Sonnentor有機茉莉綠茶，安心的品茗好茶 吧！Sonnentor有機茉莉綠茶味道清新芬芳，淡淡的茉 莉花香絕非一般人造香料足以媲美的。它含有豐富的抗 氧化劑、多酚類物質、維生素、氨基酸等。有利尿、預 防腹瀉、降血糖、降膽固醇和血壓，甚至有防止細胞基 因突變、抑制惡性腫瘤生長的功效，對于抗老化和瘦身 也有幫助。

Organic Jasmine Green Tea Chinese has been drinking tea for over 5000 years. It is always heart warming to welcome our guests with a pot of good tea.

Conventional tea especially those in tea bags are often adulterated with synthetic colouring and fragrance. Conventional tea may also be polluted with pesticide residues. Long term consumption of such tea could lead to liver poisoning.

For peace of mind, Sonnentor Organic Jasmine Green Tea is a good choice. The natural pleasant scent from jasmine flower is refreshing and uplifting. The tea is naturally high in antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins and amino acids. Drinking organic jasmine green tea regularly helps to stabilize blood sugar, reduce blood cholesterol and blood pressure.
