Erbology, one among Todelli’s wide range of producers, is a leader in plant-based nutrition and its core business is to ensure powerful plants are accessible every day in delicious foods and drinks. The old Bessarabian countryside – a hidden gem in Eastern Europe – is where siblings Irina and Victor Turcan looked for food inspiration when founding Erbology: “We want to feel inspired, and to inspire everybody to embrace healthy, happy living that nourishes the mind, body and soul” says Irina. In order to do that, they ensure a positive environmental impact by working closely with independent farmers and focusing on organic and chemical-free products.
Along with a whole array of unique natural ingredients, Erbology supplies the refined Sea Buckthorn Oil used for Alissa’s recipe. Extracted from the fleshy pulp of the berry fruit, sea buckthorn oil is a powerful healer rich in rare omega-7 and beta-carotene. A popular remedy in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicines, it provides health benefits ranging from supporting your heart to protecting against diabetes, stomach ulcers and skin damage. With regular use, skin can appear smoother, radiant and more lifted, and Omega-7 fatty acids work to support a healthy digestive tract. In a nutshell, this is a natural and healthy ingredient that can enhance your smoothies, yogurt or can add a touch of extra freshness to your everyday recipes.
