As an amazing benefit of sprouting, grains actually become more alkaline as water and oxygen support the growth of the new plant and naturally balances the pH While a balanced pH is great for health reasons, a higher pH does tend to shorten shelf life.

Stasher Bowls are the ultimate togo container, with the leak-free patented Pinch-Loc seal that stays open when you want it to and stays shut when you need it to The new bowls are made from the same food-grade platinum silicone that the best-selling Stasher bags are made from and come in several justright sizes designed for everything from s a u c e s t o s a l a d s T h e y a r e s t u r d y enough for storing and packing, while

It’s absorbent enough to dry your dishes and other household items, and it’s also durable enough to be used again and again
To complete the set, there is the Skoy Holder, a stainless-steel sink holder that sticks to any sink with a metal disk and magnet It’s a perfect addition to all Skoy products and helps to keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free.
