Wellness. It could be the official motto for Tucson, Arizona. Tucson is known worldwide for its healing. For decades many relocated to Tucson with an asthmatic child, a sick spouse or other loved one to the healing climate and culture of this beautiful desert oasis called the Old Pueblo.The sunshine, warmth and powerful geography combine with Tucson's "magic" to soothe and heal those who come here, whether it is a visit or a lifetime. Today visitors seeking wellness from all over the globe come to Canyon Ranch & Miraval spas, seek the advice of integrative medicine guru Dr. Andrew Weil (a Tucson resident) and to soak up the vitamin D rich sun.Tucson, is the perfect home for Flavorbank Spice Market. As a physician, I believe that we are what we eat. A comprehensive wellness plan must include a healthy diet. Healing can happen through one's choice of foods. With the right components, you can eat yourself healthier. Flavorbank Spice Market is one of the treasures of Tucson. It is a powerful, positive, inspiring sensory oasis of a spice market. I find exquisite whole spices for my own recipes. I am drawn to the "Culinary Apothecary" where freshly ground ginger, turmeric, cinnamon sticks as long as my arm and other exciting aromatics are displayed in a spice salon like setting. I have been all over the world and never seen anything like it anywhere else.Every time I go, I am inspired. Not only by the offerings, but by the culture and generousity of the owner to each and every one of us customers.Owner, Cancer survivor & MS patient Jennifer English lives her mission and her passion to help others achieve a path to wellness through her hands-on education. She takes time to help every customer discover the items that will be right for them. She helps you tate the love. "What's for dinner tonight"? I have heard Jennifer ask on many visits. She really means it, and will help you turn your chicken breasts, or veggies, or ribeye steaks into the best you have ever had with her Santa Maria Rubs, Afrikya by Marcus Samuelsson Berbere(my favorite) or exquisite Sarawak black peppercorn and Brittany Sea Salt ( no wait these are my favorites). I give gifts of cinnamon sticks to make cinnamon water to my own friends for their water bottles & dinner partes because it is really healthy for us.Jennifer usually gives away cinnamon sticks to customers too, as if to make sure they are doing that which is most easy and healthy to add to one's diegest.A picture or some words can not fully communicate and dimensionalize the soul, feeling, aroma and inspiration that is Flavorbank Spice market. Taste the love for yourself, visit Flavorbank.
