Wholly Wholesome Review...

Thanks to Wholly Wholesome, we recently had the chance to try an organic whole wheat pie crust:

About Wholly Wholesome:
"Founded in 1996 in historic Morristown, New Jersey, Wholly Wholesome, from its inception, has been dedicated to ensuring that its ready-to-eat and ready-to-bake products taste as good or better than any other baked product produced, not only for the natural foods marketplace but for the conventional market as well. In 1972, Bob Wintz started a family business, which focused on conventional baked goods with a geographic reach of the Northeastern United States. In the late 70's, the company was instrumental in introducing natural foods to its Northeast supermarket customers. By 1987, when Doon Wintz joined the family's growing business, he had already come to share his father's dismay over the sad fact that "you could tell it was a natural bakery product if it tasted no better than the cardboard package." What was even more disturbing was the prevalent notion within the industry that natural food consumers fully accepted that taste had to be sacrificed on the altar of natural ingredients. So, in 1996, Wholly Wholesome was born.
The company's passion to create a natural baked goods product line that could deliver great tasting treats for ingredient-conscious consumers led to the savory pies, cookies, cakes, rolls, breads and pie crusts that Wholly Wholesome offers today.
Though it took decades to come to fruition, Wholly Wholesome has churned out a steady stream of great tasting baked foods that serve the ingredient standards of the most discerning natural food devotees and the taste standards of foodies everywhere!

Wholly Wholesome's mission is to provide Wholicious™ Goodness Through:
-Delicious treats made with truly natural and organic ingredients... So good they taste like homemade.
-Relationships based on honesty, integrity and fairness: with our associates, customers, suppliers and communities.
-A path towards a sustainable future with a clear focus on the environment, social equity and economic growth.Dessert is a fun item to make but sometimes the thought of making pastry from scratch is too much for busy lifestyles. We have the perfect solution – use Wholly Wholesome™ Organic Pie shells as your dessert base (or top!) and get creative with your fillings and toppings. Lemon Meringue, Apple Streusel, Quiche Lorraine all seem so much easier to complete when the pie shells are there in the freezer waiting patiently to be created into something delicious.
All the fun and taste of baking without the hassle."

What we thought: We went to our local health food store to purchase the review product with the free coupon provided by the sponsor. Unfortunately, the only Wholly Wholesome product the store had was the Whole Wheat Pie Crust...we were hoping for one of the desserts:) However, we were not deterred. We used our Whole Wheat Pie Crust to make pecan pie. You could definitely tell the crust was whole wheat, which wasn't a bad thing for our family(we prefer wheat) but it was noticeable. We served the pies at a family get-together and the general concensus was that maybe these crusts would be better on a salty dish like chicken pot pie rather than a sweet dessert. I liked that Wholly Wholesome products are made with quality ingredients that are good for you and I'm hoping our local health food store gets a larger variety of these products soon:) Overall, ABCD Diaries gives Wholly Wholesome Whole Wheat Pie Crusts a B+!
