Some friends and I had the opportunity several months ago to try out some of the products on offer from Foods Alive. One of these friends wrote a wonderful review of the Foods Alive Flax Crackers. Here, I’m going to give a short review of two of the super dressings from Foods Alive: Mike’s Organic Special Golden Flax Oil and Meg’s Organic Sweet & Sassy Hemp Oil Dressings.
Mike’s Organic Special Golden Flax Oil
I really enjoyed Mike’s Special Golden Flax oil. In the product description, it mentions that the dressing “is the perfect drizzle sauce for any dish, salad, veggies” and that the “taste is similar to French dressing, but with a nice kick in the pants!”. I don’t really think it tastes like French dressing, but it definitely is flavourful and extremely versatile – as versatile as my own lemon praprika dressing recipe. The dressing would work well on any mix of salad greens, on a basic carrot salad and might even make a nice marinade for kale chips (though I’ll have to verify this).
Meg’s Organic Sweet & Sassy Hemp Oil Dressing
Many oils & dressings one comes across have already started to go rancid, often because the manufactures use low-quality ingredients. Foods Alive uses high quality organic ingredients and creates their dressings and oils in small batches to insure freshness. One of my friends whom I asked for their take on the super dressings is particularly sensitive to the taste of rancid oils. She was extremely impressed with both of the super dressings we got to try, but particularly the Meg’s Organic Sweet & Sassy Hemp Oil Dressing. My friend was unable to detect any sign of rancidity. (Oils that are starting to go rancid can really affect the outcome the walnut mylk recipe and Better than Brownies, and in general any recipe that uses nuts.)
The Sweet & Sassy Hemp Oil dressing has less ‘kick’ than Mike’s Special Golden Flax Oil. My friend was extremely impressed with this dressing, as she’s previously avoided hemp oil based dressings because they have either started to go rancid or are too strongly flavoured. I enjoy both subtle and strong flavours, so both super dressings were a treat for me – my friends and I quickly used up both dressings.
Super Dressings from Foods Alive
What is the greatest compliment a food review can give a product? Answer: The reviewer enjoyed the product so much that they go out and buy some more! I’m going to do just that – one bottle for home and one for the office.
