The Real Foods Difference

 

Beyond Organic
Real food goes far beyond the popularized organic vs. non-organic distinction. Real food is nothing more or less than food created by Mother Nature and eaten in its natural, unadulterated, pure and nutrient rich state. In theory, if you cannot pick it, gather it, milk it, or hunt it – it is not real food.

 

The processing of food into the products so common today destroys most of the nutrient value of the original food. Most processed foods could be labeled “nutrient free” and it would not be too far from the truth! This manufactured “food” is also contaminated with many pesticides, chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, additives, flavorings, etc. that are toxic to the body – not to mention the prevalence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the unknown possible consequences there.

 

Some examples of real food include organic fruits and vegetables; wild Alaska Salmon and other wild seafood; grass fed beef that is antibiotic free, hormone free, and pesticide free; grassfed raw milk and raw dairy products; healthy oils including cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, hazelnut oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, and Udo's Choice perfected oil blend; free range, pasture fed poultry, including turkey and chicken; pasture-fed, free range eggs; raw nuts – almonds, hazelnuts (filberts), pecans, etc. and seeds, and gourmet nitrate free and preservative free jerky like wild salmon jerky, turkey jerky, beef jerky; seaweed, kelp and sea vegetables, and natural wholesome sweeteners such as raw unfiltered, unprocessed honey; RealSalt, and Redmond Clay.

 

We establish personal relationships with our supplier partners and with the larger ones we make frequent visits to view and understand their operations. We work hand in hand with them to produce the most nutrient rich real food possible.

We do the work to make sure the food is high quality so you don’t have to. We get many requests to carry additional products – we look at each request and evaluate it based on the “real food” standard. If the product does not meet the standard for “realness,” wholesomeness, purity and nutrient value we will not make it part of the real foods product selection.

 

In some categories, prime real food has yet to be found. In these cases, we bring in the best available choice if it meets the bulk of the criteria, while at the same time continuing our search for the prime real food. In some cases where it does not seem likely that we will find what we are looking for, we create operations to produce such real food ourselves. For example, we have already gone beyond the loosely interpreted free range standard to produce truly pasture fed real omega-3 rich eggs and have created our own dairy set up to produce real grass fed raw milk, raw butter, raw cream, raw yogurt, raw keifer and raw buttermilk.
