Even without preservatives, they are shelf-stable and will “last” as long as any properly canned and stored item. “Best by” dates vary depending on the product, but generally are best used within 12-18 months for best flavor, nutrition, and color. They should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place until opened. Once opened, they will last as long as any homemade sauce properly kept in the refrigerator. Depending on the product type, it will remain ready to use (condiments will typically last longer than the simmer sauces) at the maintained temperature.

We strive to use the best organic ingredients and they may have some variation due to the growing season and conditions. We take pride in being a high-quality natural product with no added sugars, colors, gums, or preservatives. Because we do not add any of those "ingredients" there may be some variation in color and separation of product may occur. Just shake and use!

A restricted diet involves limiting or eliminating specific foods or nutrients to achieve particular health objectives. These diets are often prescribed to manage medical conditions, address food allergies or intolerances, or support weight loss and overall health improvement.

Examples:

1. Paleo diet for cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes, autoimmune disease  - Emphasizes whole foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans, such as meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables, while excluding processed foods, grains, and dairy. The diet's premise is that eating like our ancestors is better for our health and aligns with our genetics.
2. Gluten-free diet for Celiac
3. Mediterranean diet for cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes, etc
4. Specific Carbohydrate diet - The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is a restrictive eating plan designed to manage certain gastrointestinal conditions by eliminating specific types of carbohydrates. It focuses on consuming easily digestible carbohydrates while avoiding those that are more complex and harder to digest.

A low-inflammation elimination diet is a structured eating plan designed to identify and reduce the consumption of foods that may trigger chronic inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.

Examples:

1. Autoimmune Protocol diet - during the first phase, you avoid foods and additives that cause gut inflammation. This phase can last 4-6 weeks or up to a few months. After the elimination phase, you slowly reintroduce foods back into your diet, being careful to note any reactions.
2. Whole30® - a 30-day elimination diet that aims to help you identify foods that cause digestive issues or health concerns 
3. Low Fodmap diet - this may be a restricted diet - has 3 phases elimination, reintroduction, and maintenance.
