Searching for the pefect cookie? One that satisfies your buds but doesn't lay on the guilt? Newman's Ginger-O's might do it. Warning: you may form an addiction (not that my wife and I have...honest...).
Review by Vegeterianteen.com: Ginger-O’s combine, in a vegan and organic form, the satisfaction of crunchy ginger cookies gone delicacy when encasing a creme filling. I love how ginger dominates their flavor, rather than sugar, to make just one cookie rewarding though not too sweet. ...
The ingredients do aid in lessening post-consumption guilt because they’re simple, identifiable, honest, and organic. So often we think only in terms of produce when going organic and underestimate the damage heavily-pesticided wheat products, like those found in all mainstream baked goods, can do. Ginger-O’s uphold the Newman commitment to quality ingredients with organic unbleached flour, organic palm oil, organic molasses, and organic sugar supplementing the ground ginger.
And rather than mislead you with confusing terms like ‘partially-hydrogenated’, or ‘tripolyphosphate preservatives’, the Ginger-O’s label explains their choice of palm fruit oil with convincing factoids about the ingredient’s healthy attributes and current usage.
In the simple task toward which all cookies strive - providing a tasty treat for a sweet occasion - Ginger-O’s succeeds with mouthwatering triumph. I still may not be a cookie aficionada, but I’m noticeably less cynical about this snack food's future. Though they’re still ‘vegan junk food’ (and not to become a staple of the daily wholesome diet), occasional indulgence of the Newman’s Own Organics variety will leave both your conscience and your tummy satisfied with style.
