A team of activists who strive to
provide healthy food while working with small-scale farmers runs Alter Eco. The
business is focused on fighting social and economic justice by maintaining Fair
Trade and Organic practices. Alter Eco carries a variety of quinoa, rice,
chocolate, and sugar.
I received a box of food products
from Alter Eco to review in exchange for an honest review. The items were definitely some of my favorite products: chocolate & nutritious food that tastes good!
ORGANIC CHOCOLATE
- Dark Coconut Toffee - crunchy and toasted, wit a chewy bite, and a smooth buttery finish
- Dark Quinoa - light crispy crunch, an artisan update on a nostalgic childhood treat -
- Dark Blackout - deep fruity intensity, not recommended for those afraid of the dark -
My favorite bar of chocolate was
definitely the Dark Coconut Toffee. Each bite was heavenly. The chocolate was
sweet and had just enough coconut to be tasty, but not overpowering. I also
enjoyed the other chocolate bars, but they contained higher amounts of cocoa,
giving them a bittersweet bite. I did enjoy the crunch of the Dark Quinoa bar.
PEARL QUINOA
Closer to couscous, with an
ever-so-slight crunch.
I am new to cooking quinoa, but I
was excited to cook something different for my kids. I prepared the quinoa
according to the instructions on the package. Within 15 minutes, I had a small
pot of fluffy quinoa. I placed it in a mixing bowl with one cup of applesauce,
1/4 cup of peanut butter, and a few shakes of ground cinnamon. It was a yummy
breakfast. My kids gave it two thumbs up!
THAI STICKY PURPLE RICE
This rare beautiful grain will make any recipe stick.
I was really interested in preparing the Purple Thai Sticky Rice. I
decided to cook the rice and serve it with steamed vegetables. I was
fascinated by the color and surprised by how it tasted so much like properly
cooked sticky white rice. It was delicious. I also enjoyed that it cooked less
than 25 minutes. The bonus was that my kids asked for another helping.
I was extremely pleased with the quality of these food items. I look forward to trying more products from Alter Eco and supporting such a cool and positive company.
