No Nitrate Hot Dogs that Actually Taste Good!

January 11, 2010 by Lisa

I am so excited! I have FINALLY found a hot dog that seems to be as healthy as possible AND it actually tastes good! and the kids like it too! I have fed it to four kids, ages 5, 6, 7, and 8, all of whom are totally familiar with regular hot dogs. They all ate it the whole hot dog, and none of them even said anything. They just thought they were regular hot dogs.

The hot dog is Applegate Farms The Great Organic Uncured Hot Dog. The ingredients on the package are organic grass-fed beef, water, sea salt, spices, garlic powder, paprica, celery powder, onion, lactic acid starter culture (not from milk).

No nitrates, no preservatives, no gluten, and no FILLERS.

To me, they taste just like hot dogs except they aren’t as soft as regular hot dogs – I think regular hot dogs must achieve that softness with some sort of fillers or major processing. These hot dogs obviously strive to be as healthy as possible so they forgo a bit of softness for that healthiness. I say YES, and good for them.

I found them in a regular grocery store.

    2. Celery contains plenty of nitrates.

    3. hmm, I guess it’s not so much nitrates that I would like to avoid in hot dogs – but rather chemicals created in a lab.

Tell me what you're thinking...
