Meet the Family behind Siete Foods
I was watching the Today show one morning and came across a story about Veronica Garz who had started a grain-free food company based on foods that she grew up on as a Mexican American. Check out her story in more detail here. Since I have numerous allergies I was interested in finding out more about these products. Just because they are grain free doesn't mean they are healthy. Often gluten-free foods contain added sugar, added oil or contain hard to pronounce ingredients in an effort to make them palatable. So I went to Whole Foods to check the products out and was pleasantly surprised. Many of them were free of added oil and were made of real food. Now, their products are still considered processed food, but as far as processed foods go they aren't too bad for you! I haven't had a chance to try them all but the few I tried were delicious. The cashew tortillas and the queso dips are oil and sugar-free so I decided to concoct a new dish for myself. Give it a try and while you are at it, give Siete products a try for yourself too! I love a family run company!
