New on the Shelf

by C. Morse

Freezer ’n’ Fridge

Asparagus lovers will be happy to know that Cascadian has added Frozen Organic Asparagus to their line of frozen produce. And, for those with a passion for the more exotic mushrooms, Woodstock Farms now offers Frozen Mixed Mushrooms (Shiitake, Shimeji, Field and Abalone). Fries aficionados may want to check out Ian’s Sweet Potato Fries, also new to our freezer case.

If you’re one of those whose first association with the word “freezer” is ice cream, you’ll be happy to hear about LaLoo’s Deep Chocolate Goat’s Milk Ice Cream, which takes its place alongside the aforementioned Black Mission Fig flavor.

Also new to our frozen foods is Duo Cheese Gluten Free Pizza from Glutino. Not far away, are Spring Rolls, a new item from Ling Ling — makers of frozen potstickers and dumplings.

In refrigerated foods, Evans Farmhouse skim (cow’s) milk is now available. Lightlife’s Smart Deli line adds Santa Fe Chik’n Style veggie protein slices.

Grocery

As more and more products add sugar to their food lines, we’re happy to welcome a no sugar added cereal: Alpen muesli, made with organic grains (oats, wheat and barley) and no added sugars of any kind. The chewy Bumble Bar touts itself as “USDA organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and delicious.” Despite its name and logo, it contains no honey — it’s sweetened with brown rice syrup and organic cane juice. Robert’s American Gourmet adds Fruity Booty with Peach and Mango to their line of “natural, gourmet, herbal snack foods.”

From Sunspire (makers of chocolate and confections) comes O’Coco’s Organic Baked Chocolate Crisps at “90 calories per pack, 2g fat, 0g trans fat, and no cholesterol”; one Coop staffer says “they’re surprisingly good for a low-fat cookie.” Another treat is FruitBü Organic Smoooshed Fruit from Stretch Island Fruit Company, in a variety of flavors. Lastly, we’re carrying Glacéau Vitamin Water in a 32 oz. size.
