The Chief Blonde’s Top Specialty Food of the Year 2017

January 1, 2018 By Shelley Zurek 271 Comments

THE CHOICE HAS BEEN MADE! Top Specialty Food of the Year 2017

Top Specialty Food of the year 2016 Daves Killer Bread Good Seed

 

As you know, each year I name a Top Specialty Food of the Year. Last year our Top Specialty Food of the Year 2016 was Dave’s Killer Bread–Good Seed Bread. Now, they don’t know who I am and have never sent me anything. I just discovered Dave’s Good Seed bread on my own at my local Sam’s club. Visit the review here to discover why I and my whole family are still hooked on this marvelous bread.

The base of the spreads is organic sesame seeds that is slowly ground in stone wheels for hours, with dates, carob, figs and beets. These spreads are vegan, paleo, and don’t contain any gluten, preservatives, dairy, nuts or added sugar. They are an incredible substitute for peanut butter. I love all the varieties that I have tried and I am sure I would enjoy them all! Flavors include:

  • Strawberry
  • Mighty Date
  • Carob Chocolate

    I think I would really like the Sesame Kingdom Mediterranean Spread. Sounds delicious. I have been wanting to try Wild Planet also because I love tuna.

    It is a chore to get my (adult) son to eat anything even remotely healthy, but he loves Dave’s killer bread.
