It’s interesting that the pantry box and the snack box seem to overlap quite a bit. If you don’t really love the items, it makes it a bit awkward having so many duplicates.

Inside the Box
Just like the buffalo cauliflower crisps we got in the snack box, these expire September 29.
As mentioned in my previous post, they’re not disgusting, but I definitely wouldn’t choose to purchase them. There’s not enough buffalo flavour on them.
Hippie Snacks is from Burnaby, BC.
I have no idea what to do with this. Luckily they have a recipe online. It expires on Halloween, so I’ll have to figure out something sooner than later.
Boreal Heartland is a Canadian company from Saskatchewan.
This only makes 3 pancakes! Why even bother making pancakes if you’re only making 3?
As evident from the brand name, there are minimal carbohydrates in these pancakes, in fact, only 3g per pancake. The ingredients are almonds, coconut, baking powder, spices, salt, and stevia. I’m very curious about what they taste like.
Hold the Carbs is a Canadian company that focuses on low-carb options for those who are keto, gluten-free, or vegan. They are not good for anyone who is allergic to almonds.
This is a good pasta for someone needing a gluten-free option. I have not tried it yet, but a review said it was a good alternative to rice pasta.
I love pasta, so I’m delighted to cook this. Tony is slowly coming around to appreciating pasta more.
Apparently buckwheat is considered a superfood by some. Not my brother. He hates it.
Sarafino is a small importing and distribution company that deals only in natural and uncompromised artisanal products which are true to their origins. They are based in Ontario.
Um… this is a giant bottle of almond oil that expires in less than a month. I still have a tiny bottle of almond oil that’s been sitting in my cupboard for years. How is anyone expected to use that much in such a short amount of time? This has a smoke point of 420F, so maybe I can try cooking with it.
Flora is company that started in Burnaby, BC and says this:
THE MISSION OF FLORA IS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONTINUING EVOLUTION OF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH TOWARD UNIVERSAL HARMONY, PEACE AND PERFECTION BY PROVIDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR THE PURIFICATION AND UPLIFTMENT OF THE BODY AND SPIRIT.
Another double. I sure hope it’s good.
Metavo is manufactured in Canada for SP Nutraceuticals, which is in Ontario.
Another double. I wish I were still drinking tea every morning. Haven’t tried it yet, but the reviews look pretty good.
Clipper is a UK company that started in Dorset in 1984. They focus on tea that is natural, fair, and delicious.
Two more of these! I still haven’t tried them yet, but they sound delicious.
I still haven’t tried these yet, but Tony says they’re good. He prefers a flavoured version, like wasabi or sriracha, and didn’t notice anything special about these. Nothing wrong with them though! He already ate half the pack.
Overall Impression
We received 9 items this month, and 5 of those we also received in the snack box. Besides the oil, pasta, and seasoning, I would not consider these pantry staples.
