Saffola's farming methods share one of the major goals of organic farming, to reduce environmental damage from chemical pesticides.

Organic' refers to a method of agriculture and food production.Organic agriculture begins with certified organic land, on which prohibited substances cannot have been used for at least 3 years.

One of the major benefits of using Slurry Ice is that it can be pumped through regular hoses or pipes. In order to make it pumpable, the viscosity of the ice-water-air mix needs to be close to that of water or jelly, which can be achieved by adding salt or using seawater. The other reason for using salt is to lower the freezing temperature to well below 0°C (32°F), the temperature when water changes from liquid to solid, at which temperature the formed ice is hard and rough.

Here is how the salted MD5 technique works: the database stores a MD5 hash of the password. (MD5 hash is a cryptographic technique in which the actual value can never be recovered.) When a client requests for the login page, the server generates a random number, the salt, and sends it to the client along with the page. A JavaScript code on the client computes the MD5 hash of the password entered by the user. It then concatenates the salt to the hash and re-computes the MD5 hash.

Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony. The principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole.

The natural flavor is a starter distillate. Starter distillate is a steam distillate of a culture grown on a skim milk medium which has been fortified with .01% citric acid. The culture could be one of the following: Streptococcus lactis, S. cremoris, S. lactis Subsp, Diactylactis, or Lueconostoc. (These are cultures that can also be found in kefir) According to our butter maker, distillate give the butter an old-fashioned tang, without having to sour the cream to achieve it. [back to top]

Shea butter, from the nut of an oak-like tree of the African savannah, improves the skin's color and texture, combats skin thinning, and visibly diminishes wrinkles from photoaging due to prolonged sun exposure.
