del Carmen Mentioned in Post Dispatch Article About Local Healthy Food

Estie — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:24:04 +0000

Our products were mentioned this week in a St. Louis Post Dispatch newspaper article. The article highlights a local St. Louis couple and their dedicated quest for local, healthy food. The article points out the versatility of our beans.

At home, he does most of the cooking. “The focus of our meals is vegetables. We use meat as flavoring,” Castulik said. “We’re lazy cooks, so we approach things in a least-work manner. For breakfast, we like scramblers — farm eggs with greens, a little meat, vegetables. We’ll buy wonderful cooked Cuban black beans from Del Carmen at the farmers’ market to add to soups or as a side dish. Stir-fry meals, salads with a little meat mixed in; we’re easy.”
