Founded in 1968, the Eden Organic Food Company is the oldest organic food company in America. Based in the heart of the midwest, a majority of Eden’s products are grown within a few hundred miles of their home in Clinton, MI. Eden believes in supporting local organic farmers as much as possible, and their beliefs have founded a company with worldwide connections.
I decided to try one of their organic pastas – specifically the Kamut Vegetable Spirals. Most of Eden Farms pasta varieties are made with vegetables and Khorasan wheat, which is a high-protein wheat that many people with wheat intolerances can actually digest with no problems. All of Eden’s organic pastas are also packaged in 100% recycled cardboard boxes.
I substituted these pasta spirals in a summer pasta salad last week-end, and no one at our family picnic even knew the difference! What I knew though, was that they received more protein, less carbohydrates, organic food and an overall healthier product than what I would normally use. I ordered a case of these spirals, so since the picnic we’ve had them a few more times – with alfredo sauce and chicken, hamburger and tomato sauce, and in a tuna salad. The kids love the fun colors and shape of the pasta, and I love the positive aspects of the product – both nutritionally and organically. A case of 6 – 12 ounce boxes sells for $18.41 plus shipping.
