Gourmet-Everyday Pantry

Watkins Product - Pantry GroupWhen Watkins introduced Vanilla made with Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract in 1895, it quickly became one of Watkins' finest and most popular products. When it was awarded the Grand Prize Gold Medal for Highest Quality at the 1928 International Exposition in Paris, along with our black pepper, cinnamon and other ground spices, our reputations for providing the highest quality ingredients became known throughout the world. Today, our commitment to excellence continues. We source the finest all-natural herbs, spices and gourmet ingredients from around the world to create gourmet products of exceptional quality. You WILL taste the difference that Watkins ingredients make!

Watkins Product - Purest Granulated Black Pepper

All-Natural 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 grinding 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!
(170 g/6 oz)

- Special $7.99

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! With about twice as much flavor as the Ceylon variety, it's the best quality cinnamon available anywhere. 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 .5%. Award-winning, more flavourful and excellent for baking and sweet dishes ... you'll soon discover what all the fuss is about!

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; its 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. (375 ml/12.7 fl oz)

Natural Home Remedies

Watkins Product - Home Remedies and SupplementsBack 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 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. We weren't the only company, of course - 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 Product - Petro Carbo SalvePetro Carbo Salve - Relied upon for generations, Petro-Carbo Salve is still a must for every home medicine cabinet and first-aid kit. This versatile product is safe and effective for relieving pain and itching associated with minor cuts, burns and skin irritations, scrapes and insect bites. 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. Just one whiff brings back a flood of pleasant memories for many who remember Grandma lovingly applying it to skinned knees and burns. Try the handy travel size for purse, briefcase or gym bag.

Flu season not likely to fly by any time soon!

Although the flu vaccine offers the best protection from the flu and is recommended for the elderly and those with weak or compromised immune systems, there is still no vaccine that will treat all types of the flu virus, so whether or not you are able to get the flu vaccine this year, it is important for everyone to take precautions to minimize the spread of the flu virus, and to reduce the severity of symptoms.

Tips for protecting yourself and others from seasonal discomforts:

A natural ingredient that has been shown in several studies to have a specific antiviral effect against the influenza virus is elderberry juice. Data from these studies suggest a 50% reduction in both the severity and duration of symptoms in adults and children. (Research studies are listed below).

Watkins Rezist Plus contains elderberry juice concentrate, along with astragalus and ImmuneEnhancer, found to be twice as effective as echinacea in boosting the immune system. One of the best things that you can do now and throughout the entire year to reduce your susceptibility to respiratory and seasonal discomforts is to take Watkins Rezist Plus everyday.

Take Watkins Superfood Multiple daily vitamin supplement regularly. It contains vitamins A, C and zinc, known to keep your immune system at its peak.

If you are prone to bacterial infections such as sinusitis or bronchitis, take Watkins Garlic Oil Softgels. Garlic's immune-enhancing benefits and antibacterial properties may help prevent bacteria from invading your body.

Use a variety of Watkins Herbs and Spices daily. Many herbs and spices have natural antibacterial and immune-enhancing properties.
to learn more about all of Watkins herbs and spices.

Take care of yourself. People who are run down, overworked, or not getting enough rest are at higher risk. Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep per night and manage your schedule to avoid being run down.

Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water, rubbing vigorously for about 30 seconds. Use Watkins Natural Liquid Hand Soaps to keep your hands feeling soft through all seasons.

Did you know that many colds and flu viruses are absorbed through your skin, especially if it is cracked and dry? Follow-up frequent hand washings with Watkins Natural Hand & Body Lotions, Hand & Cuticle Salves or Body Creams to keep skin moist and to prevent skin dryness and cracking, which could lead to infection. Watkins Skin, Hair & Nails supplement offers additional protection for skin.
