New Food Product

   Not only did I get my first Christmas card on Saturday, but I may have gotten my first 'gift'. While foraging at the Alpha Market I came upon this new product from venerable Casa Sanchez. If you're in Texas, almost all restos and food companies refer to tortilla chips as 'totopos'. Now we have an amazing addition to the snack tree. These chips are made from blue corn, quinoa, chia and maca. A lot of you are probably familiar with quinoa by now, but if not, it's a South American seed known to the Incas 6,000 years ago. Chia I'm sure you know, and I don't think any chia pets died in the making of this product. Maca is an herbaceous plant native to Peru and is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron and p-methoxybenzyl isithiocynat (a purported aphrodisiac). The chips are GMO free, gluten free and salt free. And the best part of all - 1.5gm of fat per 1oz. serving, as opposed most snack chips that range from 8 to 20gm. To accompany, I like the Hot Salsa Roja pictured here, but you can use any you like, dear heart. Encourage your favorite market to carry these, be it Safeway, TJ's, Whole Paycheck, Bi-Rite, etc.and help keep a good thing going.
