They are also dedicated to positively impacting climate change, conserving natural resources, and respecting animal welfare. Beyond Meat’s beef-free burgers and crumbles are made from simple plant-based ingredients. Peas and non-GMO soy provide the protein; the beefy red color comes from small amounts of beets. Coconut oil and potato starch create mouth-watering juiciness. Two flavors of crumbles and the Beast burger are located in the freezer aisle of the Moscow Food Co-op. Find Beyond Burger in the open-face cooler. Ethical Bean Coffee Pods Since 2003 Ethical Bean, a certified B Corp, has been driven by the belief that “fair trade doesn’t have to live on the fringe.” They strive to compete with the world’s biggest growers and roasters in both quality and flavor, but only with fair trade- certified, organically-grown beans. They want to use energy, water, and materials more responsibly than other, traditional companies and, most of all, provide a fair wage to the farmers who grow their beans. Their coffee pods are 100% certified compostable and come in three roasts: classic, lush French roast, and rich dark roast. Pascha Chocolate Chips The founder of Pascha chocolate creates simple and pure chocolate, without any of the additives or ingredients that might trigger allergic reactions for those with food allergies or intolerances. Rarely is chocolate thought of as a major source of food allergens, yet many brands contain trace amounts of the top eight allergens – peanuts, milk, tree nuts, soy, wheat, gluten and even eggs. Pascha Chocolate Chips are free of all of these, as well as GMOs, sulfites, and artificial sweeteners. They are organic, vegan, paleo-friendly, kosher, and fair trade-certified and come in three flavors: unsweetened, semi-sweet, and cocoa. Find these at the Moscow Food Co-op with our other baking ingredients. Rooted | Page 4 Table 5 Pizza After fifteen years making Vicolo® cornmeal crust pizzas in the San Francisco Bay Area, the founders of the company decided to market their crafted pizzas outside of Golden State. With Table 5 Pizza, they’ve stayed true to their original vision and values. Their savory pizzas are made the same way they made them fifteen years ago – by hand in small batches, using only premium and all- natural ingredients. A crispy cornmeal crust is the foundation of every pizza they make. Table 5 is the perfect pizza “for kindred spirits everywhere who love sharing great food with friends.” Look for four mouth-watering flavors: Pepperoni, Four Cheese, Mushroom, and Italian Sausage at the Moscow Food Co-op. NadaMoo! Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert NadaMoo!, a made-up word meaning “no dairy”, is a coconut milk-based frozen dessert produced by a family-owned business in the heart of Texas.
