New Olive hummus

[Guest guest]

Greetings!

 

We're excited to announce the debut of our newest hummus flavor,

" Olive " . We've been wanting to do something with olives for a long

time, but availability of affordable raw olives has been a challenge.

We've finally settled on a recipe that uses raw kalamata olives that

we can sell for the same price as our other flavors. These olives are

from Greece and are not pasteurized or heated in any way during their

curing.

 

However, they are packed in a brine that contains wine vinegar which

we believe is not raw. Except for the olives, the recipe is the same

as our " Original " hummus recipe, minus the parsley.

 

Given that there are many degrees of purity in a raw diet, we're

hoping that a product with only a tiny fraction of calories that have

been pasteurized will be appealing to our customers. Considered in the

context of the very high quality of these olives and the richness of

minerals and vitamins that they provide, we feel that this recipe

could be a good choice. We invite you to check it out.

 

Lastly, it's our hope that informing our customers through forums such

as this that we can meet our goals for transparity, quality, service

and sustainability. Please let us know what you think as we develop

our recipes with you in mind.

 

Many blessings and good health,

 

Jim Brosseau, President

Of course not. We have long accepted email regarding raw restaurants,

raw classes, and raw food products. This information can be helpful to

raw foodists on this list. We just do not want to be overwhelmed by

advertising. The general rule for raw classes is one post well in

advance of the class, then one within a week of the class. (That is

primarily for Seattle area classes and events, though we allow for

posting of larger national and international raw food events.) Our

local raw restaurant, Chaco Canyon occasionally posts menu changes or

special dinners. The restaurant is frequented by many of our members

and their posts are infrequent. Regarding the products, I certainly do

not want repeated emails regarding the same product, but announcing a

new flavor or new product is fine. I just request they be short. When

the information is extensive, then the email should be brief with a

link to the information on the web. Those who are interested can follow

the link.

Linking to people's websites in their " signature " is OK too. It allows

us to learn more about our members (as long as it is not abused. I have

seen posts on some email lists where some members seemed to answer lots

of emails, with little content, but links to their websites.)

BTW, Livin Spoonful humus is sold at Madison Market, though I did not

see the new flavor there yesterday. I don't recall where else their

products are sold locally. Madison Market (Central Coop) probably has

the widest selection of raw foods available in a retail store in

Seattle (other than just produce, that is.)
