I live abroad and many US products aren’t easily available here in Korea. So I buy at online stores such as iHerb and Amazon.com all the time. iHerb is a natural food website, so they sell relatively a small range of products but they have international flat rate shipping. It is an excellent deal because the cost of international shipping by flight can be quite a burden. 10 products below are typical items I buy regularly at iHerb.

1. Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip for Baking
Those baking chips are simply the best! If you know Ghirardelli. This is one of the things I regularly buy.

2. Natural Peanut Butter
Natural peanut butter is perfect for ice cream and cookie recipes mainly because it contains less salt. The amount of salt should be controlled when baking. I also like this with a toast because it’s milder in taste and texture. My family love this!

3. Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
I love coconut oil and Nutiva has the best flavor. Cholesterol-free all-purpose oil for cooking and spreading. Especially yummy with bread! I spread this and blueberry (or strawberry) jam on the toasted bread. Believe me, coconut flavor is ten times better than salted butter. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature (76 degrees F.) And also this product is excellent for natural body skin care.

4. Organic Raw Cocoa Powder
I have all kinds of cocoa powder in my pantry. I just have to try new cocoa powder and this is one of them. Healthy and delicious!

5. Organic Matcha (Green Tea Powder)
This is not only for baking but also “drinking” quality Japanese matcha.

6. Almond Flour
Almond flour is a must for French pastry. I use a lot of them for pastry such as macarons and financiers.

7. Flax Oil
Barlean’s flax oil is what brought me to iHerb along with wheat grass powder. It’s the first Non-GMO verified flax seed oil which is rich in Omega 3, perfect for salad dressing. I love drizzling flax oil on my slice of baguette. The color and thickness at room temperature are similar to sesame oil but the flavor is much milder. Also it’s great for my dog, Alex. At the beginning Alex is reluctant but now he is accustomed to flax oil.

8. Organic Wheat Grass Powder
Wheat grass powder is why I visited iHerb along with Barlean’s flax oil. This is more affordable than even on Amazon. Great for a boost of energy and digestion. I buy the largest bottle (17 oz) for my family but it’s better to start with a smaller bottle and see if you and your family like it. I started drinking wheat grass when I was in school in Australia for overall health in hot summer but I can’t find fresh wheat grass in Korea. So I chose this powder instead and now this is the first thing I drink in the morning.

9. St. Dalfour Organic Tea
My choice of tea for Earl Grey flavored baking. They have also other organic teas such as green tea, lemon tea, peppermint tea, etc. I have all of St. Dalfour’s flavored tea in my pantry. Also I drink Yogi tea, mostly Detox and Green Tea diet. I dink tea everyday.

10. Super foods: Organic Red Quinoa & Organic Chia Seed
I buy my chia seeds and quinoa here at iHerb. I love sprouted quinoa and I mix brown rice with quinoa and cook. And Nutiva’s excellent quality chia seeds are perfect for pudding for healthy breakfast

In fact I don’t buy everything here but iHerb has good deals, so I shop here for certain products such as some organic foods and my daily Solgar supplements such as phytonutrient multi-vitamins, omega3, magnesium, and vitamin D. Happy shopping!
