I JUST ATE:
Food "Pron".
16/365. #galleryofedacious #365daychallenge #bandwHow do you sell vegan to the masses without the dogma? The Good Phyte. With No Diet Dogma Allowed. Welcome to Episode 101 and my conversation with Stacy Miller of Good Phyte Foods. (LINK IN PROFILE) Stacy became disgusted with overpriced, oversugared processed foods, especially snacks. Most are too caloric with high glycemic indexes but use wholesome packaging to build trust. There's a lot of green so it must be organic. Which fools folks who don't have time which we know is how big corporations get us. How could she create something healthy, yet so tasty eating it doesn't feel like punishment? Why not a healthy snack just as easy as those famous crackers shaped like fish? Something you can use when you've got a screaming 2-year-old and feel good about? How could she do that without pushing a lot of rigid dogma? How could she use local ingredients to create a 3-tiered bottom line? The result is Good Phyte Foods, a play on the word "phyto" which is Greek for plant. Crackers, granola, muffins, bars, and salads that not only taste like the naughty stuff but give you the energy you need to navigate these turbulent times. Seasonal ingredients in a shelf-stable product. A new concept I hadn't thought about but was eager to discover. Especially since my own experimentations with kale chips haven't been successful. Or tasty. How does Stacy navigate this special learning curve? Because there isn't fresh spinach in December. Or tarragon. Good Phyte Foods can be found all over town in places like Rebecca's, The Juice Laundry here and in DC, as well as The Organic Butcher in McClean. Interested? Contact her for a distribution form! She's got an online store, a monthly share program, and of course, the markets. Maybe to-go salads and vegan snacks at the markets is the lynchpin, the testing ground for whether or not a brick and mortar vegetarian restaurant can thrive. And maybe Stacy is our pioneer. In any case I enjoyed this conversation even more than her Dar bar. Hope you do too. Cheers. Now go lighten up your summer with some clean eating!
