about
Why Vegetarian?
Our tamales are 100% vegetarian, with the majority being vegan. We use
unrefined extra virgin coconut oil and incorporate creative use of ingredients
for full and satisfying flavor. Many studies and reports prove that a vegetarian diet is healthier for our bodies as well as the planet. The meat and dairy industry
causes a lot of animal suffering, human disease, and environmental degradation.
Eating more vegetarian and vegan foods is a simple step to bringing more peace
into our world, health into our bodies, and ecological sustainability to
our planet.
Why Organic Corn Masa?
Our Commitment to Sustainability
88% of commercially grown corn is genetically modified as well as sprayed
heavily with fertilizers and pesticides. Gross! This means that most tamales, as
well as other corn based products, made in the U.S. are with GMO corn masa flour.
Ingestion of GMO corn has shown harmful effects on health and GMO agriculture
is environmentally devasting in many ways.
We choose to support Organic farmers!
We use only biodegradable and compostable packaging. All paper products used are made with 100% recycled fibers. Only GMO free ingredients are used and as much regionally grown produce possible. We feel strongly about supporting our local farmers and sourcing Colorado grown ingredients. It is our goal to have a completely Colorado proud product by November of 2013. We also pledge to develop a delivery system that uses biodiesel fuels by this time as well.
Why Tamales?
Theres' a reason tamales have been a traditional food in the Americas for thousands of years. They pack and freeze well, store easily, and are the perfect food to eat leisurely or on the go. Tamales are the original 'traveling' food and are a welcome sight in the lunch box or the camping cooler. They are easy to reheat as well. Our tamales are healthful yet satisfying. They have a delicate texture and are filled with our special recipe fillings. We love making and eating tamales. It is our pleasure to share this wonderful food with the world.
Buen Provecho!
""Your tamales are out of this
world, fantastic delicious
explosions of love and
amazingness!"
