Sometimes Organic isn't "Better"

A couple of weeks ago I splurged a little and bought some ice cream for desert. As I selected what flavor I wanted, I noticed that a mainstream main brand produced in a small, New England state had a line of organic ice cream. So, I bought a pint of organic cookies and cream.

Unfortunately, the pint tasted a bit flat. Over the Easter weekend, I tried another pint of organic ice cream from the same company, this time the vanilla. Same thing, flat and not very good.

I did a little leg work and compared labels of organic ice cream with regular ice cream. And while there were some things in the regular ice cream that I am sure weren't all that great from a health perspective, it sure did taste a lot better. Who would have thought that monoglyercides taste so good?

Has anyone had a similar experience? Anyone know of a good brand of organic ice cream?

I don't know of a good organic ice cream, but why would you ever want anything other than Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream? Especially when you can get it in your area from Kilwins. Kemps even does a decent job, but the best I've ever had is from Jilberts Dairy, in Marquette. You would have to check there website to see if there are any stores that carry Jilberts in the lower peninsula.

I've heard that Bryers is as close to organic as you can get for the taste.

I've heard that Bryers uses only the simple ingredients possible... milk,sugar, etc... I've checked it out personally too! It is true.. and I believe it is the best tasting ice cream out there. Especially the vanilla bean.

If you are trying to stay in the wellness paradigm/healthy...KUDOS to you! If you can't find an organic you like, try rice ice cream, it's better for you and pretty darn good!
