Welcome 2018 - It's the dawn of a New Year, fresh with possibilities and new beginnings. The time of year when everyone is thinking about kick starting new habits, eating healthier, being kinder to their bodies (and hopefully to each other). 

At Back to Earth, we're starting our year off with a BANG! With the excitement of our new branding well underway, and lots of fun opportunities on the horizon, we need to keep our energy up! So for the month of January we're focusing on natural nutrition. 

Since it's launch in 2015 Weeds and Seeds has become a pantry staple for so many families looking to add more natural essential nutrients into their diet. This powerful superfood packs a major punch when it comes to nutrition, making it the perfect partner for our resolution to eating healthier. 

Seeing that we love sharing our knowledge on natural ingredients for health and wellness, we thought it's a superb time of year to share more about the benefits of Weeds & Seeds, what it is, and how you eat it.

Weeds & Seeds contains a full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids needed to support complete nutrition. Weeds and Seeds is a plant based superfood that provides optimal nutrition in a convenient way. Each ingredient is raw, vegan, certified organic, non-GMO and gluten-free! There are no fillers, corn, soy, yeast, preservatives, binders, sulphites or any kind of added sweeteners. Which is hard to find in packaged foods these days.
