What’s inside the Aspen Magic Bag?

Organic Muesli

Our blend of organic wheat, organic barley corn, organic oat flakes, organic sultanas, organic apricots, organic hazelnut pieces and organic puffed wheat will have you ready to take on the morning ahead.

Organic Self Raising White Flour

A pantry must-have that does exactly what it says on the tin. Our organic self-raising flour is rich in nutrition and is essential to making sure your homemade doughs and pastries rise.

Organic Spelt Grain

A versatile grain enjoyed in recipes both sweet and savoury, with its delightfully nutty taste and nutritional value, containing vital nutrients such as magnesium, iron and zinc. Stuff your vegetables with spelt, use it as a rice or pasta replacement, or even try spelt porridge for a naturally sweet and chewy breakfast sure to give you the get-up-and-go you need in the morning.

Organic Buckwheat Flour

This robust, super diverse flour is naturally sweet, packed with dietary fiber and magnesium and low in saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium. So if you fancy whipping up some healthy homemade chia bread, banana loaf, pancakes - you name it, buckwheat flour has you covered.

Organic Coconut Chips

These protein packed flakes make their way comfortably into all sorts of sweet and savoury bakes and breakfasts, bringing a distinct tropical taste to your cakes, porridge, or on their own as a light, crispy snack that keeps you coming back for more.

Organic Chickpeas

A staple in countless Middle Eastern, Indian and plant-based recipes, this legendary legume is second to none when it comes to bulking up soups, stews, curries and salads with a gratifying bite, whilst also providing a healthy boost in vitamin B, protein and iron. 

Remember to transfer your dry ingredients into an airtight container to help preserve their quality.

Fun Fact about the Aspen tree

A crown made of aspen leaves was said to give its wearer the power to visit and return safely from the Underworld. Aspen crowns found in ancient burial mounds may have been included to allow the spirits of the deceased to be reborn. Aspis, the aspen's Greek name, means shield, which was one of the many traditional uses of its wood.

In Celtic mythology, the visual effect of an aspen trembling in the wind was said to be the tree communicating between this world and the next.
