Earth’s Balance only uses natural ingredients in their foods. Their products are 100% plant based and are vegan. Their foods are GMO free, lactose free, gluten free, casein free, and have zero grams of trans fat. Earth’s Balance is an organic-minded company. They make organic soy milk that comes in four flavors: original, unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. They have an Original Buttery Spread, as well as several other flavors. They have a Mindful Mayo that also comes in an organic version and an olive oil version. You can also try their culinary spreads, baking sticks, or line of nut butters. They even make an organic Soy Nog. Earth’s Balance doesn’t sell their products from their website, so the price could vary depending on where you buy them from.
Foods that are organic were grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, or ionizing radiation. Organic foods are GMO free. Products that are gluten free are made without wheat or gluten, and are safe for people who have celiac disease, or who have a gluten allergy or intolerance, to eat. Foods that are lactose free do not contain milk or dairy products. This could make it easier for people who are lactose intolerant to digest. Casein free foods are great for people who are on a casein free diet due to special needs. If a food is vegan, it means that it does not contain any meat or other animal products (such as eggs, or milk). Earth’s Balance does not put trans fats into their foods. You can think of the trans fats as the “bad fats”. Earth’s Balance headquarters are located just outside of Boulder, Colorado. On their website, it says: “We heart the Earth. In fact, we heart it so much that we named our entire line of products after it.”
