My Desire to Be More Healthy
Hi, I’m Dave; developer and food connoisseur. Barefoot Kitchen was developed as a way to increase your food experience to what it should be and was so many years ago. Real food made from real food ingredients instead of foods made from synthetically made or artificially infused ingredients made with no real nutritional values. I’m a fairly healthy person. I was, I thought, until I hit my 40th birthday. I grew up eating breakfast cereals, full of artificial flavors and colors. Fast foods made with seed oils and who knows what. I drank soda pop from an early age and never really thought much about it. But when I hit my 40th birthday, wow! My body started to fight back. I found out I was type 2 diabetic. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and on and on, so and my doctor started a regiment of medicines that I would be locked to for life.
I finally decided to fight back. After many years in the food manufacturing industry developing some of the most popular foods and appetizers in our country, I realized these and many other foods were not meeting our daily needs for real nutrition. They may taste good and be fun to eat, but deep frying my original stuffed jalapeno’s in seed oils, or dipping them into refined sugar rich dipping sauces, just was missing the mark. So in 2020, I decided to take my award winning line of sauces, all made with refined sugars, soy and gluten, seed oils, artificial flavors & colors, corn syrup and other ingredients, and go back to the drawing board.
I replaced refined sugar and brown sugar with honey, maple or molasses. I replaced soy sauce with coconut aminos to remove the soy and gluten. I replaced the harmful seed oils with olive oils or avocado oil and other healthier choices. I basically went back to the drawing board with every recipe I had. In order to do that, I had to develop my own ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sweet Chile sauce and other crucial ingredients to remove all those components that we know now are fueling obesity and chronic diseases because there were no good healthy options available
The sauces you see here are all originals, based on my award winning recipes developed over the past 40 years. I wanted to make them healthier without removing the great flavors so many have come to enjoy. I encourage you to check them out. Compare any of my original fantastic sauces against your favorite brands. Read and compare the ingredient decks and nutritional panels. See why so many are making the switch because.
