NEWMAN'S OWN ORGANICS

American Gothic "Pa" Newman and daughter Nell 

Have you ever heard someone say, "If it's organic or all natural, it must taste like cardboard?"  I certainly have.   Anyone who says that has never tried anything made by Newman's Own Organics!  Just because it is better for your health, does not mean a lack in taste!

I'm sure you've seen the cute mug of Paul Newman in your grocery aisle.  Newman's Own Organics  began in 1993 as a division of Newman's Own and became it's own company in 2001.  They offer a variety of organic products...from chocolate bars to cookies to olive oil to mints and so on.  

What makes their product the best?  From their website:

We focus on the kinds of products we loved as kids, but take them one step further by using the highest quality of available organic ingredients.

I was sent an assortment of products to review.  I was overwhelmed with the task before me.  We were asked to list our 4 top favorites!  WOW....this is going to be tough!

How do you choose from all these wonderful products?  I decided to keep the goodies in the closet and just wait to see which four disappeared first.    My 13 year old daughter asked if she was allowed to snack whenever she wanted :)

 My family's #1 favorite was the chocolate!  (that's a no-brainer!)

Each flavor was rich and smooth and - oh - so yummy.  The best part is that I can snack on it with less guilt as I know it is a better choice for me healthwise

Here's what Nell has to say about their chocolate bars:

"I can't resist chocolate and we're always looking for the best source of organic cocoa beans," says Nell Newman, co-founder and president of the company. "The chocolate used in these bars is some of the best we've ever come across."

Taking the #2 favorite spot is Newman-O's

Ok, so who doesn't love a chocolate cookie with a cream filling?  Only someone with no taste at all ;)  

Ode to Newman-O's
You might, m'lady tweak my nose.
You could, m'lord step on my toes.
But Heaven help those poor bozos, who try to filch my Newman-O's.

3rd product to disappear was the Champion Chip Cookies

These are just bite sized...only problem is I kept taking one bite-sized after another.  I finally looked to see what an actual suggested serving size is and kept it to that many.  I found these great as a grab and go snack.

One nice feature of all Newman's Own Organics cookies is that they use palm fruit oil.  

Organic palm fruit oil should not be confused with palm kernel oil. Organic palm fruit oil:

• Is not hydrogenated
• Contains no trans-fatty acids
• Is lower in saturated fat than butter and has no cholesterol
• Is widely used in Europe as an alternative to partially hydrogenated oils
• Is extracted from the palm's fruit not the palms kernel
• can be grown organically in tropical regions

Final choice are the mints

These are not gone as yet, but were fought over as to who would get which tin.  I love the tins themselves.

"This is the first time we haven't used our familiar American Gothic style logo on the packaging," says Nell Newman, who appears in the logo with "Pa" Newman. "We were delighted with the illustrations for the tins and thought they'd be fun to use for other purposes after the mints are eaten. The inner paper does carry the familiar logo."

I have always enjoyed partaking in a Newman's Own Organics product.  They are high quality, great tasting and always coming up with something new to tempt your palate!  

The website site is full of great information like what is organic?, how Newman's Own Organics started,  great recipes and even coupons to print!  What are you waiting for to go check them out?
