Our Subversive Agenda:
Healthy eating!
Does the world really need what Cooqi offers?
It most certainly does. There are other gluten-free products, to be sure-less expensive, more readily available on your grocery store shelf. The vast majority of GF products on the market currently are made from ingredients that offer little in the way of nutritional value. A good many list the first two ingredients as white rice flour and tapioca starch. And maybe the third ingredient is cornstarch. Meaning that these "foods" are almost pure simple carbohydrate-in other words, sugar. Considering that most folks who come to GF eating are recovering from digestive disorders, and many are in fact malnourished, it seems strangely punishing to offer them foods devoid of nutrients. But until recently, the focus has been solely on taste and creating foods to resemble lost foods (and, actually, probably those long lost white-flour favorites were not so nutritious to begin with).
Cooqi puts a different spin on things: we believe everything we eat should be delicious (feed our spirit) AND be nutritious (feed our bodies). Everything we make starts with freshly milled organic whole grains, and adds free-range eggs, hormone-free butter, organic agave, honey, real maple syrup, or evaporated cane juice, and other good things. We grind our own bean flour and flax, we grate our own carrots, we crack real eggs. We make really yummy things by hand, from scratch, from pure, real ingredients. That are also gluten-free. It's revolutionary.
And guess what? We aren't forcing anyone to swallow this good-for-you agenda. People are glad to gobble up our goodies, they thank us daily for making what we make so yummy and also guilt- and worry-free. Cooqi's delights are so wholesome and delicious, you don't even have to be gluten-free to love them and feel good about eating them!
