Making a recipe fair trade is easy, just swap fair trade ingredients for the conventional ingredients in your favorite recipes and you’re on your way! You can start with the simple things like sugar, olive oil, spices and vanilla – these are easy to find at most natural food stores, your local grocery or try a Target or Whole Foods. Stroll down the natural food aisle and look for the fair trade labels, you’d be surprised how many fair trade products you can find!
In each of our recipes, we use fair trade ingredients whenever possible and highlight them so you know. Fair trade ingredients are often organic too, and they are high quality. You might pay a little more, but the price is worth it for the quality and you’ll know that the farmers received a fair wage for their labour. From our experience, fair trade recipes just taste better because they’re fair!
