Question 5

Testimonials

I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your wheat roast. There are so many uses for it, but first I always marinate it in balsamic vinegar and fresh rosemary...after that, the sky's the limit. Salads, sandwiches, fajitas, wraps, pasta dishes. It's delicious every time! Thank you!

─ Stacey

White Mountain is my go to for vegetarian fajitas ... and wheat roast. A staple in my home.

─ Windy I purchased your Vegetarian tamales from my local Whole Foods store . I was surprised when I ate the tamales. They were beef. Just to let you know there was a packaging mix up ─ Louisiana [Sometimes our customers have a hard time believing our products contain no meat - WMF]
I am a super fan of Wheat Roast. I started using it as part of my staple diet. Under (a) physician's directives(,) I followed the guidlines of the American Heart Association. In 2 years I lost 35 pounds & drastically reduced my cholesterol levels. Before changing my diet I was a heavy carb & meat eater. Wheat Roast is very dense & filling. Not only is it part of my meals, but it is the perfect 'snack' to help keep me feeling full instead of eating junk. ─ Eric
I love your vegetarian tamales! They are more spicy and tasty than the usual meat tamales! My extended family during Christmas makes it a tradition to serve tamales, and now we can serve these healthy vegetarian tamales! My dad, a big meat eater, even loves these! How do you make the spices and flavor so well? I want to know the recipe! haha.... Anyways, thanks for the BEST tamales in the world! ─ Krista
Hey there! I know I sound silly for writing this, but I'm obsessed with your 'Wheat Roast'. I've been a vegan for 14 years, and have never found a food that satisfies the protein craving of my body and taste need. I get worried when I travel because I don't know if I will be able to purchase it where I'm going. Some days I go through an entire loaf; grilled for breakfast, chopped up in salad for lunch and with veggies at night. I am a huge supporter of everything your company strives for and represents! ─ Vanessa
Thank you for making delicious, nutritional products for people who care. Some of us really appreciate what you do. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye" - Antoine de Saint Exupery ─ Kathy
I tried the Veg-itas [No-Meata Fajitas- WMF] at the block party yesterday and had them for lunch and dinner today, I'm bowled over by how good they are (I'm not a vegetarian) but they sold me, I'm hooked. ─ Neville
I enjoy and appreciate your company's products. It's so nice having healthy alternatives available at my local store I especially love the ... Wheat Roast, Veg-itas [No-Meata Fajitas- WMF] and the plain yogurt!! They are delicious! ─ Amanda
A few months ago my boss brought some of your vegetarian tamales to a company luncheon. His wife owns a health food store and they bought them from their distributor. I thought they were the best things I have ever eaten. ─ Pandy
White Mountain Foods products, particularly the vegetarian tamales, work so well in my department because now I can also satisfy the needs of my vegetarian Rotisserie customers. The products are of high quality and they are very consistent. White Mountain Foods is a local and unique company with great customer service; it feels like the store next door ─ Amy, Central Market Rotisserie, Austin, TX
I am a vegan and extensively thank you for making a variety of great vegan food! - Sean
My family enjoys the delicious Vegetarian Fajita Fixins [No-Meata Fajitas - WMF]. The consistency is close to the meat fajitas we used to eat so therefore it is very satisfying. ─ Mrs. Wallach
We came upon your Wheat Roast last summer at a Grateful Dead concert in Kentucky and absolutely loved it. ─ Keari

I just recently tried your Vegitas (No-Meata Fajitas) for the first time. I've been a vegetarian for several years now but haven't had anything that tasty to date! I went out to this hippie-fest called Burning Flipside (burningflipside.com), and I tell ya what, the whole festival was practically a campaign for your product. Flipside is a camping festival, so I'd wander around with my friends going from camp to camp meeting people. They were ALL cooking Vegitas, and keeping with the "commune, peace, love, herbal, crunchy, hippie" theme, they were happy to offer me huge tortillas full of it. After about day 3, I found myself walking about a mile to one specific tent who had bags of Vegitas in their cooler and asking them for more; even offering to barter with my beer (which isn't like me at all). Anyway, they're fantastic! What a refreshing product among such bland, tan-colored, mushy vegetarian options.

Thank you again for your help! ─ Austin

My friends and I thoroughly enjoy your vegetarian tamales. I smuggled a load of them on the plane the last time I was in Las Vegas, NM. However, we can't find your stuff in these carnivorous gringo places this far East! Help. ─ Bill

Question 6

Are your products vegan or vegetarian?

Answer

We consider White Mountain Foods a Vegetarian Food Manufacturer. We produce a Bulgarian yogurt made with cow’s milk which is vegetarian and our only non-vegan product. We also produce a line of plant-based products all of which are 100% vegan. We keep the production of our plant-based products completely separated from the production of the dairy yogurts to ensure there is no cross contamination. We are working towards getting the plant-based products certified vegan for an added layer of assurance for our vegan consumers.

Question 7

Where can I buy your vegan products?

Answer

White Mountain Foods Wheat Roast is available retail in select Whole Foods Markets in the Southwest region and through UNFI. All other White Mountain plant-based products are available in bulk in the Austin area through Segovia Produce. Our plant-based products are also found on many local vegan and vegan-friendly restaurant and food truck menus in Austin. Find out how and where to get our vegan products here.

Question 8

What is the best way to prepare the tamales?

Answer

The tamales are pre-cooked and ready to eat out of the package so it is only a matter heating them. When heating the tamales care must be taken not to dry them out too much, which can make them crumbly. We recommend you allow the tamales to fully thaw in the refrigerator and steam them in a steamer basket. Stack the tamales up criss-cross in the basket and steam until hot throughout. Check out our tamale recipes for other mealtime suggestions.

Question 9

Are any of your vegan products gluten-free?

Answer

Our sweet potato and pecan tamales are gluten-free. We are currently working on gluten-free certification for these products as an added layer of assurance for our gluten sensitive consumers.
