| Ample Hills Creamery: Where the ice cream flowers bloom |
Something that seriously excites me is when a real food establishment opens up in our neighborhood. By real food, I mean food that doesn't have an ingredients list that looks like
this. I want to learn more about Ample Hills ingredients (do they use any likely GMO ingredients for their flavors? Any stabilizers or emulsifiers?), but based on what I know so far, they are a delicious real food choice for a sweet treat. Here's what their site says:
At Ample Hills, we handcraft our ice cream in small batches, using
fresh, local, all-natural milk, cream and eggs. In fact, our dairy and
eggs are so fresh, they were inside hormone-free, grass-fed, happy cows
and chickens just a few days before we churned them into ice cream.

| Roomy downstairs. Mama likes. There's also changing tables in the bathroom downstairs and upstairs. Plus, both bathrooms are big enough to wheel a stroller into. Major mom points. |

Ample Hills added stabilizers to their ice cream (without telling the public) ever since they started nationwide shipping, including inflammation inducing carrageenan.
ReplyDeleteStick to Davey's and Hay Rosie instead.
Are stabilizers used in the ice cream made and sold in the New York stores or ice creams that they sell from the online shop?
DeleteAccording to the manager of their Gowanus shop, ALL of their ice cream now contains the stabilizers. It was also very sneaky how they added it without telling the public. I had been a customer since they had only one store, and the biggest reason why, was because their ice cream did not contain carrageenan. It's very unfortunate that they felt like they had to resort to using it, especially when there are other brands out there that ship ice cream without it.
DeleteI wish more people would call them out on it, but people just don't know. You seem to care, so I thought I'd let you know.
Yeah, I started making my own almond milk when I was made aware of carrageenan last year.
