Sequoia Subji Upma
You told us how much you love our veggie savory breakfast meals, like Sunrise Tofu Scramble and Denver Veggie Scramble. This year we introduce a vegetable upma inspired from the cuisine of South India. Our version is made from ground organic semolina and millet paired with freeze-dried veggies and spices. This one is for the adventurous palate 'cause it's lively and colorful.
Spicy Vegan Squeezy
By request, we now have a non-dairy spicy vegan cheese squeeze. To make a dip, you simply add water to the included packet, seal shut, knead/shake, and squeeze. Serve with chips/crackers for a quick snack or use as a topping for a burrito/taco. We LOVE this cheese sauce with Naked Freckle Burrito or added to our Pinto Beans for a chip dip or taco.
Waste Reduction
We are reducing packaging on a few more of our products. For instance, Hop Pea Slop, Lemony Herb Quinoa Salad, Open Sky Yasai, Pacific Crest Vinaigrette, and Pesto Herbilicous will no longer contain an inner plastic bag of the salad mix with an olive oil packet. All ingredients will now be inside the pouch, ready to rehydrate when opened.
The Advantages:
- Fewer steps - just open, remove the oxygen packet, and hydrate.
- Less mess - the olive oil packets can't burst and leak and make a mess.
- Less packaging - eliminates the dry mix packet and olive oil packet.
- Lowers cost - fewer production steps means more favorable prices for you.
The Disadvantages:
- You'll need to scoop out the small oxygen absorber packet from the food.
- You can't skip the oil if you're on an oil-free diet.
