This will be a talk and a Q & A in the shop from 4pm. Mohammed will be joined by Taysir Arbasi, who is Zaytoun’s Liaison and Advocacy Officer. @zaytoun_cic supplies Dublin Food Co-op with Palestinian olive oil. Zaytoun is a social enterprise and community interest company founded in 2004 to supply consumers with artisanal Palestinian produce.

A newbie to the Co-op - we recently starting stocking this #organic Sea Buckthorn Oil from Estvita. It’s the only plant source that contains omega 3, 6, 9, and 7! Sea buckthorn is believed to have originated from the Himalayas, but was also used by the ancient Greeks and other European cultures. It not only appears in ancient Tibetan texts, but is also mentioned in the Indian Materia Medica, early Chinese formularies, and ancient Greek mythology. Sea buckthorn oil was even cited in the blood-stained histories of Genghis Khan. It contains over 190 nutrients and phytonutrients, including vitamin C, which is 12 times higher than that of an orange. It also contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein. This berry has as much vitamin E as wheat germ, three times more vitamin A than carrots, and four times more superoxide dismutase (SOD), an important enzyme that helps prevent free radical damage, than ginseng. Both sea buckthorn seed and fruit oil are rich in nutrients such as carotenoids, tocotrienols, and tocopherols. They are loaded with antioxidants like phenols, terpenes, and glucosides; vitamins A, C, and E; beta-carotene; plant sterols; and trace elements such as copper, iron, selenium, and manganese. . . . . . #plantbased #dublinfoodcoop #vegan #healthy
