If there were a way to include a great fat in our dips, I would. But we pack the food hot into jars, and I wouldn't want to do that to a fat I respect. By no means do I think we should be eating fat-free... it's just that this way we can add whatever fat matters to us, at any given meal. You will find our ingredients list under each product name and picture, under "Buy Yummy Yammy" and then "The Yummy Food". I love to have the Lemon Ginger dips with eggs, and for me that means organic, pastured chickens. Nothing better. I wish for everyone the appreciation and valuing of high-quality fats, but realize I can't provide them in our food, so I encourage gently. We are so lucky in Vermont to have so many organic and pastured local agricultural options. Fat used to be called Vitamin F for a reason!! We're still not all the way to the seacoast, but are now at Concord Food Coop. And yes, they are great with cut veggies! Best, Lisa Derek,

We loved the muffins, as did the other folks who tried 'em. Great idea on the frozen sweet potato puree. We've been thinking about it for coop delis, but hadn't thought about it for retail sale. We'll see what we can do. Glad you like the site! xoxo Lisa Thanks, Lynotype! We loved the muffins, as did the other folks who tried ‘em.

]]> Comment on Sweet Potatoes and Carbs by Derek Smal http://yummyyammy.com/sweet-potatoes-and-carbs/#comment-332 Derek Smal Mon, 16 Apr 2012 01:34:02 +0000 http://yummyyammy.com/?p=934#comment-332 So I just came across your product from a Facebook share from Seacoast Eat Local over in NH. First, I have to say I wish you the best of luck with this project! Still looking for a complete ingredients list for your products, but am sure it is on this site somewhere. Anyway, to answer your questions, yes, they are all important to me with the least important being the fat. Of course I completely understand your need to market it as such, since that makes it that much more attractive to the general, uninformed population. Actually, I think it might be a great idea to make a formula that was roasted sweet potato mixed with a local VT grass-fed butter product! (super-yummy super-food!) The "low-fat fad" is rapidly dying and much of the public realize the critical value of healthy fats, dietary cholesterol, etc. Many of us maximize our satiety, suppress hunger cravings, control body-fat storage and garner the majority of our daily energy from fat, with moderate to low carbs in the diet and preferably from local, nutrient-dense sources! If this had a respectable fat content I'd probably buy it and eat it straight out of the jar! Most people are going to use this as either a veggie or chip-dip. If it is the latter, that just increases the sugar exposure as well as bad/inflammatory fat exposure from canola, seed or some processed veggie oil. As it is, I'd probably buy it just to dip some locally-grown veggies into on occasion. Can't wait to find it over on the NH Seacoast and try it!

I was thinking it would be really nice to have an unflavored one (to use to make muffins, for example!) and I didn't know you had it until I read about it here. The best way to offer it frozen might be packaged in 1/2 cup or 1 cup amounts, with 3 or 4 cups to the package...the same way I might do up a batch at home and then freeze it in mini muffin amounts so it's handy for popping into soup or spag sauce or thawing out a couple of them to make muffins. That would really make it a convenience food and I think people would buy it. Include some recipes or serving ideas on the package. Have a contest to see what different things people can come up with to make using it (and your other products too) and then publish/publicize the resulting recipes. Fun to see you today! I like you website. Good info, entertaining and enlightening, enjoyable to browse. love you! lynotype I think it would be great to have the plain smashed available all year.

When Food Inc. was paliyng in NewHampshire (the home of the company), Mr. Hirschberg attended a screening and answered questions about his company afterward. My mom got to attend this session and thought it was incredibly interesting. There are groups who disagree with Stonyfield's aim to grow into a huge company, claiming that this will cause it to lose integrity, and set a bad example for other natural companies. However, I agree with Mr. Hirschberg's point of view simply because of the structure of American economy today. It is a smart move to make it big so that a well-meaning organic company and seize power in the food industry to go up against the corrupt giants like Tyson & Kraft. I just hope Stonyfield never loses sight of its roots. I too love Stonyfield yogurt.
