This holiday season, rise above the noise of excess and gift with purpose by selecting presents that champion your values. Consider purchases that restore ecology, improve livelihood, and ensure animal welfare for farming communities. To support a sustainable and regenerative future, give clean and nourishing food and beverages.

Only two strains of probiotics are shelf-stable, whereas different and diverse strains can be present in refrigerated probiotics. But shelf-stable probiotics have the advantage that they can be used in other food products, like granolas, butter, soups, etc. Just don’t mess with the packaging or open blister packs until you want to use them, as they are packed for preservation. Dead probiotics won’t harm you, but they don’t have any health benefits either.
