Qualities

2014 Abe's Golden Bear Award Winner ▸ x This brand won a 2014 Abe's Golden Bear Award making it among the best of the best on AbesMarket.com!	Low Salt
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.	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.
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.	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.
Egg Free	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.
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.	Supports Charity ▸ x The seller gives a portion of every sale to a charity of their choice. Kind of makes you want to buy extra, doesn’t it?
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.	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.
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.	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.

Did you know?

In 1988, coffee became the first product to receive official fair trade certification—further proof that everything worthwhile starts with a good cup of joe.

It takes a lot of people to monitor this growing arena; there are currently 1,030 fair trade certified organizations working to ensure fair trade standards in 67 countries around the globe.

Hungry for fair trade? You’re not alone. Food accounts for most fair trade imports. Based on paid premiums, coffee, cocoa, and fresh produce top the list.

The first fair trade store in the U.S. opened in 1958.

Consumers think fair trade is more than fair. In 2010, global sales hit almost $4.4 billion—a great thing for 3rd world farmers and artisans.

Good quality dark chocolate with unabashed peppercorn heat -- what a combination! Knowing that ALL the profits go to canine rescue groups makes this a product I'll purchase again and again.
