Gourmet-Everyday Pantry

Watkins Product - Pantry Group

A trusted brand for over 100 years - we know vanilla! The Grand Prize Gold Medal for Highest Quality at the International Exposition in Paris sealed our reputation for providing the world's finest vanilla. The seal of approval by the Cooking Club of America shows our passion for excellence is as strong today as it was over 100 years ago.

Watkins is proud to offer gourmet spices and extracts that are:
95% and above natural
USDA organic
Cooking Club of America recommended
Gold Medal Quality


Watkins avoids using the following ingredients in our food products:
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Added MSG
Artificial Colours

Watkins Product - Original Double-Strength Vanilla

Original Double-Strength Vanilla - Watkins award-winning Original Vanilla is made from the world's finest Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans. Our secret low-alcohol, double-strength formula is more flavorful than pure vanilla in recipes requiring baking or freezing and has been a staple in kitchens since 1895!
(325 mL/11 fl oz)
* Award-winning
* The best all-purpose vanilla for baking and freezing
#01008 Regularly $16.99 - Special $14.99
Purest 'Granulated' Black Pepper - Watkins has always purchased the best Malabar and Lampong peppercorns available on the market. These top-grade peppercorns, known for their high essential oil content, are preferred for processing because they retain more flavor. Our exclusive process chips each berry into fine particles rather than crushing them into dust and doesn't create as much friction, which can evaporate the essential oils by generating heat. Experience the Gold Medal winning flavour in every shake! (6 oz/170 g)
#01140 Regularly $11.99 - Special $9.99

Watkins Product - Purest Ground Cinnamon

All Natural Purest Ground Cinnamon - Our award-winning high-oil Korintje cassia cinnamon has been a part of family rituals for more than 100 years! Make it part of yours and you'll see what all the fuss is about. With about twice as much flavor as the Ceylon variety, it's the best quality cinnamon available anywhere.
(6 oz/170 g)
* Superior quality only available from our catalogue
* Value size means lower cost per serving
* Watkins' high-oil Korintje cassia contains 3 to 3.5% essential oil; many others on the market contain 1 to 2%, and inferior brands as low as 0.5%.

#21192 Regularly $7.49 - Special $6.49

Watkins Product - All-Natural Grapeseed Oils

All-Natural Grapeseed Oils for Cooking and for Dipping - Our all-natural grapeseed oil is lower in saturated fat and higher in unsaturated fats than nearly all other oils! It is one of the only foods shown to both lower LDL ('bad') cholesterol and increase HDL ('good') cholesterol. Its antioxidant content makes it not only healthy, but very stable. A high smoke point makes it perfect for grilling or sauteing. Unlike some oils, grapeseed oil doesn't mask or dull other flavors, and will actually brighten and enhance other foods rather than clash with them. And because grapeseed oil is actually 'recycled' from seeds used in wine making, it is an earth-friendly product which does not use up valuable resources like land and water.

Natural Home Remedies

Watkins Product - Home Remedies and Supplements
Back in the 1860's, people on the Minnesota prairie didn't have ready access to doctors, and most couldn't afford to see one anyway. J.R. Watkins Apothecary provided quality products folks could rely on to make them feel better and keep them feeling better. And unlike some of the "snake oil" vendors out there, J.R. backed his products with a money-back guarantee. Of course, we weren't the only Apothecary company back then - but we're the only one left! With Watkins, you don't just get a glimpse into the past; you get real tried-and-true products that have been helping people for over 140 years!

Watkins proudly formulates with natural raw materials such as:
Menthol
Capsicum
Thymol
Eucalyptus Oil

Watkins Product - All-Natural Cough Medicine

Cough Medicine - This drug-free, non-habit-forming cough medicine is safe, free from side effects and recommended for both adults and children. Some cough medicines work by suppressing coughs; ours uses a special herbal compound which functions as an expectorant to assist in the discharge of mucus. By making coughs more productive, it alleviates congestion in air passages and helps relieve tickling in the throat. And with no side effects, you'll be more productive, too. (350 mL)
#32319 Regularly $13.99 - Special $12.49

Watkins Product - Petro Carbo Salve

Petro Carbo Salve - Relied upon for generations, Petro-Carbo Salve is still a staple for every home medicine cabinet and first-aid kit. Its active ingredient is phenol (carbolic acid), but it derives other benefits and its unique aroma from botanicals such as camphor, oil of spruce, and the tea tree relative cajeput. This versatile product is safe and effective for relieving pain and itching associated with:
* minor cuts
* burns
* skin irritations
* scrapes
* insect bites.
Just one whiff brings back a flood of pleasant memories for many who remember Grandma lovingly applying it to skinned knees and burns. Keep a tin handy in your purse, briefcase or gym bag. (124 g/4.38 oz)
