Tasty treats featuring Indigenous ingredients

When it comes to the world of food, many of us are trying to be much more intentional with our choices - and that includes who we support with our spending. There are so many Indigenous ingredients out there that are so easy to incorporate into our daily cooking - and did we mention they're delicious, too?

Chef and culinary consultant Jenni Lessard joined The Social to feature products from Indigenous-owned businesses! From an outstanding maple syrup to a delicious, relaxing tea, these are definitely some ingredients you're going to want to get your hands on. Check them out below, and be sure to watch the video above for more from chef Lessard!
