MEAT & SEAFOOD EXOTIC VARIETIES HIGHEST QUALITY SELECTIONS A STORY OF Quality

PRIORITIZING OUR PLANET IS THE WAY WE DO FOOD

AFFORDABLE PRICES, U.S. FAMILY FARMS, AND MORE VARIETY We emphasize freshness, preventing food waste, local products, and transparency, not fancy display cases and ambiguous standards. Instead of display counters, with previously frozen products, we just have the best selection at the best prices— with sustainability as our guiding principle. In addition to the assortment of highest quality cuts, grinds, bacons, and sausages in our fresh cases, we carry both traditional and exotic varieties of meat and seafood in our frozen section. Find protein with a purpose when you shop our wide variety and boring will never describe your menu

We believe the wellbeing of our communities and our planet prospers when our food is humanely raised and sustainably sourced. We can create a healthy future by what we choose to put on our plates. That’s why we partner with local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen who protect our waterways, regenerate our grasslands, reverse soil erosion, and preserve habitats for future generations. When the health of all living things is the foundation for farming practices, we promote economic viability and environmental harmony. Our Meat and Seafood Departments are unique. We only offer selections produced in ways that nurture the health of animals, our communities, and the planet.

Heterocyclic Amines (HCAs) is what the Art of Grilling is NOT about! These carcinogenic compounds form when proteins, sugars, and creatine in meat react at high temperatures, but the upside is—we have some great good4u tips to help reduce their formation. We want you to showcase your skills at the grill in the most mouthwatering style while keeping your menu rooted in health! HEALTHY GRILLING Tips

Beer aficionados, this one’s for you! A 2015 study tested the effect of three types of beer— pilsner, non-alcoholic pilsner, and dark beer— used as marinades on the formation of HCAs in charcoal-grilled pork, compared to pork that has not been marinated. While all three beers resulted in a significant decrease in HCAs, the dark beer was most effective, resulting in 90% less HCAs forming compared to the non marinated pork. A previous study found similar results with beer and beef.

Use herbs and spices. There are numerous herbs, spices, and aromatics that have proven to inhibit the formation of HCAs, likely because of their antioxidant polyphenols— green and black teas, turmeric, rosemary, thyme, garlic, oregano, onion, basil, parsley, cumin, and coriander have all been shown to hinder the formation of HCAs. These all make wonderful additions to both marinades and dry rubs. In the case of ground meat, you can mix them directly into the meat.

Add vitamin E. A simple and highly effective way to reduce the formation of HCAs in your grilled meats is to add a little vitamin E directly to ground meat or apply it to the surface of larger cuts. It doesn’t take much either—all you need is one 400 IU capsule of natural vitamin E (dalpha tocopherol) to treat 10 pounds of hamburger. Researchers have also found that when there are higher levels of vitamin E in the meat to begin with it leads to lower HCA levels in the cooked meat. Grass-fed beef is naturally higher in vitamin E than its grainfed counterpart, four times higher in fact, and nearly twice as high as grain-fed.

The art of grilling demands finesse. Temperature, time, and even how often you wield the spatula matters. Healthier burgers aren’t flame-broiled or well done—they’re cooked at lower temps, flipped frequently, and served without charred black edges. Once temps begin to reach 400°F, HCA formation increases, and well-done meat has significantly more of them, so keep it low and juicy.

These simple spice rub recipes are your ticket to effortless grilling magic. They’ll elevate anything you toss on the grill, whether it’s beef, chicken, or pork, tofu or tempeh, or even fruits and veggies. Versatile and easy to make, these rubs transform every bite into a flavor-packed delight! Prep Time: 4-5 minutes (for each spice rub) FOUR EASY DIY Spice Rubs

SMOKEY COFFEE SPICE RUB MAKES: 1 CUP 3 tablespoons Natural Grocers ® Brand Organic Ground Coffee (any variety) Natural Grocers Brand Bulk seasonings: ¼ cup Organic Coconut Sugar 2 tablespoons Organic Smoked Paprika 1 tablespoon Organic Oregano 1 tablespoon Applewood Smoked Fine Sea Salt or Real Salt 1 tablespoon Organic Garlic Granules 2 teaspoons Organic Ground Black Pepper 2 teaspoons Organic Ground Cumin Seed CUMIN & CORIANDER SPICE RUB MAKES: 1 CUP Natural Grocers Brand Bulk seasonings: 6 tablespoons Organic Ground Cumin 4 tablespoons Organic Chili Powder 2 tablespoons Real Salt 2 tablespoons Organic Ground Coriander 1 tablespoon Organic Smoked Paprika 1 ½ teaspoons Organic Ground Allspice 1 ½ teaspoons Organic Ground Black Pepper

SOUTHWEST-STYLE DRY RUB MAKES: ¾ CUP Natural Grocers Brand Bulk seasonings: ⅓ cup Organic Taco Seasoning Blend 2 tablespoons Organic Coconut Sugar 2 tablespoons Organic Ground Mustard Seed 1 tablespoon Real Salt 1 tablespoon Organic Ground Black Pepper 1 tablespoon Organic Garlic Granules SPICY JAMAICAN-STYLE DRY RUB MAKES: ½ CUP Natural Grocers Brand Bulk seasonings: 1 tablespoon Organic Garlic Granules 2 teaspoons Organic White Onion Granules 2 teaspoons Organic Cayenne Pepper

2 teaspoons Organic Thyme 2 teaspoons Organic Oregano 2 teaspoons Real Salt 2 teaspoons Organic Coconut Sugar 1 teaspoon Organic Paprika 1 teaspoon Organic Ground Allspice ½ teaspoon Organic Red Pepper Flakes ½ teaspoon Organic Ground Black Pepper ½ teaspoon Organic Ground Nutmeg ¼ teaspoon Organic Ground Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Mix all ingredients for the recipe of your choice in a bowl. When adding sugar to a rub recipe, it’s important to break up clumps with a fork or even a few quick pulses in a food processor. 2.Dry rub doesn’t tenderize meat, so it’s okay to apply it any length of time before you cook; just choose a time that’s most convenient for you, whether it’s a day before, or an hour before you plan to cook. 3. When using the spice mix on meat, make sure the meat is fully defrosted and patted dry first to absorb excess moisture. Drizzle a light layer of olive oil evenly over the protein to help the rub adhere better (only use a small amount of oil, or the rub won’t stick). 4.Spoon an even layer of the dry rub on all sides of the food you are preparing to cook. You can use as much or as little dry rub as you want, but 1 tablespoon of rub for every pound of meat you’re cooking is usually sufficient. Make sure

to coat all the sides and nooks and crannies so the rub covers the entire surface. If you don’t plan on cooking right away, store the food in a closed container and refrigerate until ready to cook. Cooking instructions will vary depending on the protein or food used. 5.Store spice rubs in airtight containers—small mason jars are perfect, especially if you are planning to gift them. Go one step further and label the jar with the name of the spice rub!

One of the dangers of grilling food is the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs), carcinogenic compounds that form when meat is cooked at high temperatures—especially when cooked over a hot flame. But our grilled pork chops soak in a marinade that not only makes the chops extra juicy and flavorful, but also helps reduce the formation of HCAs (the secret is vitamin E)! This delicious recipe is perfect for Independence Day grilling. GRILLED RED, WHITE & BLUE Pork Chops Serves: 4 | Total Time: 50 Minutes

FOR THE PORK CHOPS 4 organic garlic cloves, roughly chopped 3 tablespoons Natural Grocers ® Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus some to brush the grill 1 softgel NOW E-400 Vitamin E (400 IUs) 3 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Aminos 3 organic green onions, divided (set aside the green part from one onion, roughly chop the white parts and the greens of the remaining two) Zest and juice from half an organic lemon, (~2 tablespoons juice) 1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt ½ teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Black Pepper 4 boneless pork chops FOR THE TOMATO, BLUEBERRY, BASIL TOPPING 3 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Balsamic Vinegar ½ teaspoon each Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt and Organic Ground Black Pepper 1 (10-ounce) container organic grape tomatoes, each one cut in half 1 (6-ounce) container organic blueberries ¼ cup fresh organic basil leaves, leaves rolled

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Using a food processor or a blender, make the marinade. Add the garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, vitamin E, coconut aminos, roughly chopped green onions, lemon zest and juice, and salt and pepper. Process or blend until smooth. 2. Place the pork chops in a Pyrex container and pour the marinade over the top. Move the chops around to coat well. Let marinate at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes to one hour (or marinate in the refrigerator overnight). Finely mince the reserved green onion top and set aside. 3. In a small bowl, make the dressing for the topping. Whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the tomatoes and blueberries and toss to coat; set aside. 4. Heat the grill to medium heat (~400° F.). Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil. Lift the pork chops out of the marinade and place on the hot grill. Grill for 7–9 minutes per side, or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145° F. Remove from the grill, cover with foil, and let rest. 5. Place a vegetable grill basket on the grill. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the tomatoes and blueberries into the basket (do not add the dressing). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–4 minutes (until the tomatoes soften). Spoon the tomatoes and blueberries

back into the bowl with the dressing. Add the thinly sliced basil leaves and the minced green onion and toss to combine. Note: If you do not have a vegetable grill basket, use a cast iron skillet; just preheat the

together like a cigar and thinly sliced

skillet for 5 minutes before you add the tomatoes and blueberries. 6. Plate the chops and generously top each one with the tomato, blueberry, and basil topping. Serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles (mild or hot) ¼ cup finely diced organic onion 1 organic jalapeño, seeded and diced ¼ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs ½ teaspoon Natural Grocers ® Brand Bulk Real Salt ½ teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Black Pepper ½ teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Garlic Granules 1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Taco Seasoning Blend 1 pound ground organic turkey Natural Grocers Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for grilling 4 Natural Grocers Brand Organic Pepper Jack Cheese Slices 4 gluten-free hamburger buns FOR SERVING Sliced organic tomato Sliced or mashed organic avocado Natural Grocers Brand Organic Pickled Jalapeños Mayonnaise Salsa

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat the grill to medium (~400° F). 2. Add the green chiles, onion, jalapeño,

breadcrumbs, and seasonings to a large mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. Add the ground turkey and use a light touch to mix all ingredients together until combined. For juicy burgers, do not overmix or compact the meat. 3. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil. Because the turkey mixture is moist, shape into patties as you place them on the grill: Place the bowl with turkey mixture and a towel next to the grill (for wiping your hands). Divide the mixture into four mounds and form into patties one at a time as you place each on the hot grill. Cook until browned on the bottom, 4–5 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary. Carefully flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes on the second side. During the last few minutes of cooking, top the burgers with pepper jack cheese and let melt. If desired, toast the buns on the grill as well. 4. Enjoy with desired toppings.
