Qualities

Caffeine Free ▸ x Caffeine, a stimulant that fights fatigue, is a drug. And it can be addictive. But you probably already knew that. Did you know? Caffeine can be found in a variety of products, most commonly coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate. If you’re interested in going off caffeine, it’s best to wean slowly to avoid headaches. You can decrease the amount of coffee you drink daily, or you can switch to a low-caffeine tea, like white tea, and progress from there.	Made in the USA ▸ x The item has been produced or manufactured in the United States. Did you know? U.S. labor tends to be more expensive than labor elsewhere, so companies have outsourced their work in droves. The outsourcing of work means there are less manufacturing facilities stateside than there once were. Made in the USA has therefore become a point of pride, and not only in the auto industry. Labor conditions overseas—depending on the country—are often less safe than they are here in the USA, putting workers at risk. Many workers outside the U.S. aren’t paid living wages. Some countries present both slave and child labor concerns.
Casein Free ▸ x Contains no casein, potentially allergenic proteins found in milk and dairy foods as well as products containing casein-based binders, emulsifiers, or stabilizers. Did you know? Casein is a protein found in milk. It shows up in various products from cheese to plastic to paint. Casein is one of two proteins found in cow’s milk that can trigger an allergy. Some people are allergic to it, others are allergic to whey. Still others are allergic to both. Vegans looking for cosmetics read labels to avoid casein, which is decidedly not vegan.	Natural ▸ x Though natural has no government or official definition, we value the word. Greatly. To us it means purer, safer, from the earth. And that's not marketing hype, we promise. Our sellers do, too.
Corn Free	No Added Sugar or Sweeteners ▸ x Product may contain sugars naturally present in ingredients like fruit including apple sauce, but no additional sweeteners have been added. Did you know? There are many reasons for avoiding added sugar and sweeteners, including disease like diabetes. People who prefer to avoid processed sugars and are able to medically tolerate natural sweeteners can choose things like honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar.
Dairy Free ▸ x Did you know? There are many reasons people choose to eliminate dairy from their diets, including lactose intolerance. An estimated 75 percent of the world is lactose intolerant. Dairy is often considered the only way to get sufficient calcium, but this isn’t the case. There are many non-dairy sources of calcium, including dark leafy green vegetables, seafood, certain nuts, and some beans. Some sources claim that countries with the lowest dairy intake have the lowest rates of osteoporosis rates.	No Artificial Ingredients
Diabetic-Friendly ▸ x Did you know? Diabetes affects an estimated 8.3 percent of the U.S. population. The disease is characterized by a lack of—or resistance to—insulin. This results in high blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity. Recent studies show it progresses more quickly in children and is also harder to treat than in adults.	Nut Free ▸ x No tree nuts, legumes, or ingredients derived from them. Product is also manufactured in a facility that does not process nuts of any kind. Did you know? Not everyone is nuts about nuts. Some 1.8 million Americans are allergic to tree nuts, and 2% of the population has peanut allergies. Though peanuts are technically a legume, their proteins are similar to those in tree nuts. That’s why some people are allergic to both. A little can unfortunately go a long way—allergies can be triggered by as little as 1/2000th of a single nut. Vigilance is key! Nut ingredients can hide in dressings, sauces, veggie burgers, pastas, breading, pastry, and even body care products.
Dye and Color-Additive Free ▸ x No synthetic dyes, chemical food coloring, or other artificial colorants. Any color apparent in the product is naturally derived. Did you know? There are currently 7 petrochemical-derived artificial colors allowed in food today in the United States. Some of these are banned in other countries. Artificial coloring has been linked to adverse health effects. Certain food dyes have been known to trigger allergies and they have also been said to aggravate ADD and ADHD symptoms. Some companies make two kinds of the same food—one dyed for the U.S. market and one without banned dyes for the E.U. A widely noted example of this is Kraft’s macaroni and cheese. Natural foods tend to contain dyes derived from edible substances and plants including blueberries, carrots, and annatto.	Organic ▸ x Products produced fully or primarily without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Better for the planet? Yup. Better for you? You bet.
Egg Free	Peanut Free ▸ x Product contains no peanuts and is produced in a facility that that does not process peanuts in order to prevent cross-contamination. Did you know? Peanut allergies are on the rise. About 1 to 1.5 percent of the U.S. population is currently allergic to peanuts. These allergies range from mild to life threatening. Due to the prevalence and severity of peanut allergies, many schools and even airlines have become peanut-free. If you love PB&J; but need to avoid the P, the market has responded. Alternatives to peanut butter now abound and include almond, cashew, soy, and even sunflower seed butters.
Family-Owned Business ▸ x Many of our products are family labors of love. Some of them come from multi-generation family businesses. We’re proud to have them as part of the Abe’s family.	Pesticide Free ▸ x No synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or rodenticides. Did you know? Unlike USDA organic, which has set rules about synthetic pesticide use, pesticide-free isn’t a third party certifiable claim. Not every producer can afford to get certified by the USDA so pesticide-free is an unregulated claim you sometimes see on small batch products. Pesticides can harm both humans and the environment—as well as the pests they’re meant to poison. There are health effects associated with specific pesticides and they contribute to water and soil pollution. Pests can develop resistance to pesticides. When this happens, more and more are employed. This is referred to as the “pesticide treadmill.”
Full of Omega 6's ▸ x Essential fatty acids found in seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils widely believed to aid hormone production. Did you know? Omega-3s may get all the press, but omega-6 fatty acids are crucial, too. They’re said to help regulate metabolism and maintain reproductive health. Omega-6s grow on trees. They’re found in seeds, nuts, and the oils obtained from them as well as more earthbound foods like soy and meat. Take a breather; this is one nutrient you probably don’t have to worry about. The typical American diet naturally supplies plenty of omega-6s.	Raw Diet Friendly ▸ x A raw food diet consists of uncooked foods, which have not had their enzymes and other nutrients destroyed or altered. Did you know? If you have to cook it, you can’t eat it. That’s why the typical raw food diet consists of about 75% fruits and vegetables. Don’t sell your stove just yet! A raw diet can include heated foods as long as temperatures don’t top 115°. Clear some counter space. Raw diet adherents report that maintaining culinary variety requires lots of different preparation equipment.
Gluten Free ▸ x Contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and their derivatives that can exacerbate celiac disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. Did you know? Celiac disease, a genetic disease and the most severe form of gluten intolerance, was thought to be an imaginary illness until the 3 million people who suffer it in the U.S. begged to disagree. Many still don’t know they have Celiac disease—95% of celiac sufferers are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Symptoms of gluten intolerance include rashes, fatigue, cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. To be gluten-free, you’ll need to skip more than wheat. Barley, rye, and their crossbreeds also contain gluten. Many foods that don’t contain wheat still use gluten, which is added to improve quality and texture. To avoid gluten, it helps to be an expert label reader.	Salt Free
GMO Free ▸ x No genetically modified or engineered organisms or ingredients derived from them. Claim can be verified by the Non-GMO Project. Did you know? Surveys show that over 90% of Americans think GM foods should be labeled. 53% say they wouldn’t buy food that’s been genetically modified. The thing is, most of us are already buying GM foods. 80% of processed foods contain GMOs and 88% of all U.S. corn, 95% of sugar beets, and 94% of our soy is genetically modified. Unlike the U.S., Most countries have just said no to GMOs. Nearly 50 have banned or significantly restricted GM crops. Just five nations grow 90% of the world’s GM crops: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, and the U.S. Most GMOs are altered to resist herbicides or bugs. One type of corn makes its own pesticides. Those pesticides are now showing up inside people.	Soy Free
Gourmet ▸ x Natural foods tend to be purer foods, but that doesn’t mean they’re not also gourmet. We have many artisanal and even chef-driven food items that prove this point—deliciously.	Sugar Free ▸ x Made without refined sugar, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
Halal ▸ x Foods and other products permitted under Islamic law, which includes strict animal slaughtering practices. Did you know? The opposite of halal is haram. These are forbidden foods and include pork, alcohol, blood, and meat from any animal not handled humanely. Mashbooh refers to foods that should be questioned because they can come from both halal and haram animals. Animal rights proponents sometimes choose halal meats because they’re said to come from animals that have been slaughtered without undue stress. With fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables, milk and eggs, and most fowl and animal meats on its menu, Halal offers lots to choose from.	Vegan ▸ x A form of vegetarianism. No animal products are eaten, including dairy, eggs, and honey. Many vegans also avoid non-edible animal products like fur, leather, and wool. Did you know? Veganism doesn’t just affect what happens in your kitchen. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by 1.5 tons per year! Despite many worthy advantages, veganism has yet to win any popularity contests. Only 1.4% of American adults have decided to bite. Babies like it, too; vegan breast milk tests show it contains significantly lower levels of pollutants like pesticides and dioxins than non-vegan breast milk.
High Fructose Corn Syrup Free ▸ x This product is made without any high fructose corn syrup. Did you know? High fructose corn syrup is cheap and therefore ubiquitous in packaged products. It has also been linked to a number of health problems including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. A fun documentary to watch on the topic is King Corn. HFCS pops up in unexpected places and in foods most of us don’t consider sweet, including sliced bread, cereal, soup, and condiments. A study done in 2009 found mercury contamination in samples of commercial HFCS.	Vegetarian ▸ x A diet that excludes meat products and their derivatives, but can include eggs, dairy and other animal-sourced foods Did you know? Americans are definitely eating their veggies: 46% say they eat vegetarian meals though only 4% say they are full-time vegetarians. A “flexitarian” is someone who has adopted a vegetarian diet, but only part time. Going whole hog is a good idea. Vegetarian diets have been linked to reduced obesity, coronary disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer risk. Vegetarians have more time to enjoy their food than the rest of us; vegetarian diets are said to add 13 years to the average human lifespan!
Kosher ▸ x Literally clean, fit, or proper. Refers to food permitted under Judaic law. Also refers to practices related to the slaughter and production of animals and animal products. Did you know? Kosher meats and dairy must come from ruminants. These are animals with cloven hooves that chew cud, like sheep and steer. Kosher animals must be slaughtered instantly and painlessly. When it comes to kosher poultry, chicken, turkey, goose, and duck are allowed. For seafood, fish with fins and scales are permitted, but shellfish and crustaceans are not. Meat and dairy cannot be combined or eaten together. You can have chocolate milk, just not with your hamburger. Pareve products contain no meat or dairy and so are “neutral” foods that may be served with either.	Wheat Free ▸ x No wheat, kamut, spelt, or ingredients derived from them. Did you know? Wheat-free and gluten-free are not the same, though wheat contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found not only in wheat, but also in rye and barley. People who choose to avoid gluten often have Celiac disease. People who choose to avoid wheat tend to do so because it causes uncomfortable and sometimes allergic reactions in their bodies.
Live Food ▸ x Enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked. Living food retains these and has higher enzyme levels than raw food as it’s typically sprouted or very fresh. Did you know? It’s generally accepted that a live food means it can only be heated to 105 degrees. If food is heated over this temperature, live foodists deem the enzymes in it destroyed, and no longer consider it live. Proponents of the live food diet say benefits to eating this way include increased nutrients and energy. They also praise its detoxifying ways.	Woman-Owned Business ▸ x The company producing the product is owned either wholly or in significant majority part by a woman or women. Did you know? Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew twice as fast as those started by men. A victory in the battle of the sexes? Still a ways to go... While women own 30% of privately held businesses, they’re only responsible for 13% of the sector’s employment. Women business owners do far more with much less. Studies show that they typically start with less capital than their male counterparts. They still manage to supply paychecks to 7.6 million employees. 7.2 million businesses in the U.S. are majority-owned by women.
low carb	Yeast Free ▸ x Products made without yeast may be beneficial to individuals suffering from candidiasis and other conditions related to microbiome imbalances. Did you know? Since yeast feeds on sugar, people eating yeast-free diets also avoid sugar. If a digestive tract becomes overrun with yeast, it is said to lead to digestive upset (that’s a nice way of saying gas, diarrhea and bloating).

"Chia-rific!" — Anna

I have been playing around with chia seeds and adding them to everything- almond butter (for a morning snack), yogurt, applesauce, smoothies. Chia seeds are a great product.
