shopping in iHerb



i have bought quite a bit of items from iHerb!

my third package contains:





  • Organic Whole Cane Sugar from Rapunzel [RM 15]
  • Rockin Green Detergent (for washing Cloth Diapers) [RM 45]
  • Organic Sesame Tahini by Kevala [RM 25.55]
  • Yogourmet freeze dried yogurt starter with proiotics, 6 x 5g [RM 24]
  • Natural Raw Whole Flaxseed by Bob's Red Mill
  • Organic Chia Seed by Nutiva [RM 30]
  • Organic Agave Nectar (agave sugar/agave syrup) [RM 16]



initially i wanted to buy Rapadura sugar.
Rapa what?
i learned about it here
since i couldnt find rapadura sugar in iHerb,
well hey! i found this! this Rapunzel Organic Whole Cane Sugar is what was mentioned in Jo's blog.
so i have to buy. -____-

what about tahini?
im getting healthier, people!

i need calcium!
yes.
no 1. because im a woman.
more prone to osteoporosis. crap
no2. im breastfeeding.

tahini is another high calcium food so i am still in the process of learning how to add it into our meals.

i suspect KJ has low calcium stores, hence the tooth decay?
will discuss more about this later.

so we both desperately need to pump up our calcium intake. i am serious.

 ground flaxseed

it is not advisable to eat this whole!
it wont be digested and it'll be like eating air.
goes in and comes out whole.

hence we need to grind/mill the seeds.

u can also purchase flaxseed in grounded form,
only snag is that they go rancid pretty fast, hence shorter shelf life.
look up on its storage conditions.

reminder: flaxseed is high in fibre so please start with a small amount.
this is one of the side effects. to counter it, drink plenty of water.


they advise to buy whole and grind ourselves.

this is also known as flaxseed meal. (the grinded ones)

iHerb sells a crazy variety of things.
please check it out!
you'll be amazed.
hair and beauty products, supplements, groceries, etc
and they are cheap! (+ shipping)

kindly use my code WHH623 and you will get $10 off your 1st order of $40 & up, or $5 off on smaller orders.
