Watch the SALT

I RAW so I could eat healthy and stay medication free.

Just when I arrived, was I happy when I saw a waiter carrying an armful of whole romaine, I heard the Vita-Mix going, and saw WHEATGRASS on the menu. BUT, the sides and dressing that accompanied my salad had tons of salt. I thought everything tasted GREAT, so I took some mock egg salad, and mock chicken salad home, not knowing I just got an overdose of SALT. So much so that my mouth was super dry and by the morning my blood pressure shot through the roof. I had to fill a blood pressure medication prescription the next day. I talked about RAW and Ann Wigmore and the chef hadn't even heard of either.

VEGANS - get your act together. KILLER SALT!

If they use 1/2 the salt, everything would still taste great...so I hope they read this review.

I learned my lesson. Next time, If I can't read the ingredients - I won't eat it. I should have has just a plain salad and no dressing.

Pros: HEALTHY , VEGAN, WHEATGRASS

Cons: TOO SALTY, NO INGREDIENTS ANYWHERE

Thank you for your constructive criticism. In regard to your comments about our usage of salt in our products, when asked, we gladly told you exactly how much was in the products you purchased. One teaspoon of salt per 2 pounds of tofu seems like a sufficient amount, not only to us but our regular customers as well. You, having purchased an 8oz. container has roughly a 1/4 teaspoon. For someone watching their salt intake, such as yourself, they might want to consider that before purchasing said products. As for your comments on Raw Dieting, we certainly know what a Raw diet is and all it consists of. We do not claim to be Raw and the items you purchased were certainly not raw. That being said, we will easily accomodate a Raw diet through our extensive salad selection. Being on a barrier island in southern New Jersey with restaurants on every block that serve the same seafood and meat dishes, we'd like to think that our "act" is as together as its going to get. Granted, there will always be room to grow and learn. The fact that we even exist in said environment speaks volumes. Moving forward, you should heed your own advice and not purchase items you are unsure about, especially if your own health is an issue. We want to thank you for your patronage and want to offer a full refund for the items you purchased to go. We hope you are in good health.
