Eden Foods Gourmet Popcorn
I got to try out some really wonderful food this week, compliments of our sponsor, Eden Foods. Eden Foods started over 40 years ago sourcing organic, natural foods made without toxic chemicals and full of nutrients. Even in the 1960’s, natural foods were hard to come by so they started the Eden food co-op to source and bring them in.
The Eden Co-op grew into a natural food store offering whole grains, beans, soyfoods, sea vegetables, miso, cereals, vegetable oils, seed and nut butters, and the like. It expanded adding a cafeteria, bakery, and books. Known at the time as the Eden Deli, it was one of very few places in the USA where one could get natural, organic, and macrobiotic food. Today, Eden Foods is the oldest natural and organic food company in North America and the largest independent manufacturer of dry grocery organic foods.
The Review
The kind folks at Eden Foods sent me a lovely package of goodies to test and review for you. One of my favorite items is the Gourmet, Organic Popcorn. Packaged in 6 oz re-sealable bags, it’s a whole grain alternative to high bad fat, high sodium snack foods. The resealable package retains moisture needed for popping. Here is something I didn’t know… Non-organic popcorn is on the FDA’s list of top ten foods most contaminated with toxic pesticides and chemicals. Can we say ewww?
The popcorn popped into large fluffy kernals and was delicious! Our family has always enjoyed making popcorn and I make it like I was taught by my Dad, in a huge dutch oven on the stove. everyone loves my popcorn and the Organic Popcorn from Eden Foods made a perfect batch. There were only a few kernals let in the pan. It was wonderful!
I was also sent a jar of the Garlic Gomasio which is a Sesame Salt. A low sodium, low fat, almost universal condiment of roasted, whole, tan organic sesame seed and Eden sea salt. You can use Gomasio Sesame Salt sprinkled on grains, salads, hot cereal, pasta, vegetables, corn on the cob, and popcorn.
I am not a fan of anything but but butter and salt on my popcorn, so I used this in my pasta for spaghetti night and it is fabulous! I was a bit leary because I have never used anything like this before. The Sesame Seeds are soft and lightly seasoned with Garlic and Sea Salt. Everyone in the family like it. It really brought a great flavor to the pasta and sauce. Definately a keeper!
