The best way to enjoy Raw Kale
Kale is a super food that has been shown to lower the chances of 6 different types of cancer. It is anti-inflammatory and is a vitamin rich anti-oxidant, high in vitamins K, A and C. It can be eated raw or cooked. If you have never tried raw kale before, here are some tips:
GIve your kale a masage before eating. This improves the texture and softens the taste.
What you need:
-One bunch of kale with the ribs removed (the big center part) and chopped into ribbons
-A few pinches of fine, sea salt
-Clean hands.
- Add kale and sea salt to a large bowl. (use approximately 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt for every 2 cups of chopped kale.)
- Massage the salt into the kale for 2-3 minutes by simply kneading with your hands, turning, tossing the kale to break it down. (It should be reduced in size roughly by one-third when you are finished).
- Rinse the kale and drain water.
- This rubbed version is ready to use in a salad. Try the Quinoa Kale Salad on our recipe page.

Dear Amy,
Hi, I just had to write in because I have discovered your Cream of Rice Hot Breakfast Cereal. I absolutely love it! I used to eat oatmeal for breakfast until I developed an intolerance to oats. Nothing else has filled the void until your Cream of Rice Cereal (I tried other rice cereals, and they weren't tasty). I was shocked when I looked at the ingredients list and read that it's made from whole grain brown rice! I'm full all the way to lunch. Also, I love that it's dairy free. And of course, it being organic makes this a truly wonderful product.
Thanks Amy's!

I felt compelled to write and tell you I'm in love... in love with your Tamale dinners. I got hooked on tamales when we visited Albuquerque, NM, several years ago and since then have been in search of another good tamale! My husband tells me not to order them when I see them infrequently on a menu at a Mexican restaurant but I usually give in and am ultimately disappointed. So, I was hesitant to spend the money on my first Amy's Tamale Verde dinner but I did and I sure am glad because the tamale took me back to Albuquerque! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
