Although we believe strongly in plant-based diets, some of our customers have asked for dishes that contain sustainable animal protein options. There are also some that can't tolerate legumes because of digestive issues.
And your healthy wish is our command so, although we’ve always offered protein in the form legumes, this is an additional source that is actually lower in carbs than ingredients like azuki bean tempeh. These new recipes are also low in sugar and contain healthy fats, like the rest of our menu. Salmon, in particular, is loaded with omega-3 fats which offer an array of benefits including enhancing your heart health and reducing inflammation throughout the body. Most importantly, these fish and chicken dishes are still in line with our functional medicine point of view meaning that they are 100% organic and free of gluten, dairy, soy, corn and egg, foods that tend to trigger sensitivities in most people.
At Organic Pharmer our products are still free of meat and mostly vegan but definitely vegetarian, always organic and free of gluten, dairy, corn, soy and egg. Some of our recipes we share for you may contain animal meats.
The bottom line is that now you have more choices than ever. You can stick with our vegan dishes or mix it up with some fish and chicken. Either way you’re reaping the benefits of functional medicine and a diet that works hard to keep you in great shape, inside and out.
