Dr. Cowan's Garden

‘Dr. Cowan's Garden is a line of nutritionally powerful vegetable powders: perennial greens, kale, Swiss chard, leek, squash, blends and salts. The powders' nutritional power derives from how they're grown, processed and stored.’

Danae’s Feedback: The ethos of this company and their products are something DimensionL Wellbeing can stand behind. Their powders are extremely potent and high quality. I do not typically recommend taking vegetables in a powdered form, as there can be many harmful fillers plus we often do not know how these vegetables were grown. Dr. Cowan’s garden has a very transparent process that is in alignment with what is important to me and the food I eat. They are a family owned company which matters even more to me these days.

I love their potency and ease of their products. They can be used on pretty much any dish I make for dinner and can be used in smoothies or baked into treats, like muffins. They have an excellent shelf life and are part of my ‘prepper’s stash’. :)

FOUNDING MISSION: TO IMPROVE HUMAN, ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC HEALTH BY INCREASING THE CULTIVATION AND CONSUMPTION OF PLANT DIVERSITY.

From Dr. Cowan: The philosophy behind our company is simple and emerges from my almost 40 years of studying food and nutrition and from working with my patients.

My conception of a healthy diet is one that includes a liberal amount of healthy fats (grass-fed butter or ghee, coconut oil, olive oil) and proteins (wild fish, grass-fed land animals, pastured poultry and eggs) to build a healthy body, make hormones (fats), nourish our immune systems (fats and proteins) and obtain calories for energy (fats). These two categories of food should make up the bulk of most people's diets.
The plants have a different purpose. We eat grains (for those that tolerate them) as an energy food, and fruits and vegetables for their concentrated vitamins, minerals and varied phytochemicals, which are so important for human health. Unlike animals, plants are stationary and use chemistry to defend themselves against predators and disease. These chemicals also provide vitamins, antioxidants and other healing elements for humans.

In fact, taking our lead from healthy traditional peoples, we should strive to eat at least 10 to 12 different plants a day: some roots (carrots, beets), some stems (celery, Brussels sprouts), some leaves (kale, chard), and some fruits and flowers (tomatoes, zucchini). Eating different plant parts and colors is the surest way to avail ourselves of all the nutrients plants have to offer.

We only use organic or beyond-organic vegetables to make our powders. Freshly picked, gently dehydrated and straight into miron violet-glass jars, make our vegetable powders a leader in providing the very best nutrition for you and your family.
