1.5 oz cookie, 3 pieces per order.
Marbled sugar cookies flavored with freeze dried strawberries and genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice) then rolled in crunchy pinipig (pounded young sweet rice).
Allergens: Wheat, Milk, Egg.
Processed in a facility that also processes nuts.
Made in a Home Kitchen.
Key ingredients in all of our baked goods benefit greatly from pollinators! While strawberry plants are self-fertile, the addition of insect pollination can result in larger and higher quality fruit. Commercial honey bees may be used to help commercial crops, but studies have found that wild bees such as the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) in Europe are even more effective. Sweat bees, ground-nesting bees in the family Andrenidae, bumble bees, and syrphid flies have also been observed visiting strawberry flowers.
Although the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, doesn’t require pollination for its leaves to be harvested and made into tea, pollination is still important for seed production for the next generation. Tea plants are self-infertile and so need cross-pollination. Bees, flies, and possibly even crawling insects are said to be pollinators of tea plants, but it seems like research is lacking.
