What is it?
What you Always wanted to know about Mama Nano’s
What is it? We call it Mama Nano’s, a chunky Italian style vegetable ‘sauce’, with flavors to stimulate the taste buds and a versatility to ignite your imagination! Just for starters, try using it on pasta of all kinds, as an appetizer, on seafood, in a meatloaf, lasagna or omelets, on baked potatoes or scrambled eggs, BBQ sausages, burgers and chicken… or even enjoy it ‘right out of the jar’!
What does it taste like? Because we ‘pickle’ the vegetables before cooking, you’ll get a light vinegar tang in combination with a gentle sweetness, and the robust flavors of 17 healthy ingredients. The vegetables are still crisp, and each bite will be delightful, fresh and different!
What are the Ingredients?
- (Traditional Recipe) * Red Ripe Tomatoes * Celery * Cauliflower * Mushrooms * Green Beans * Carrots * Onions * Green Peppers * Olive Oil * Distilled Vinegar * Stuffed Green Olives * Garlic * Cucumbers * Jalepeno Peppers * Ripe Olives * Light Tuna
- (Vegetarian Recipe) * same as above, but without the tuna.
Tuna ? You're kidding! I don't taste it ! That’s because the tuna is right on the threshold of taste. It is there for the flavor-enhancing effect it has on all the ‘other’ ingredients. You'll enjoy the difference when you try it!
So which is better?, the 'Traditional' or the 'Vegetarian'? The happy answer to that question is that they’re both yummy. The Vegetarian style is more of an ‘open’ flavor… while the Traditional is more robust. Try both!
Is it 'spicy'? Both styles (Vegetarian and Traditional) come in a ‘Mild’ and ‘Just Right Zesty’ version. So no, in a word it is ‘not hot’. When you cook with it, the flavors 'brighten' to an enjoyable level.
How long will it last? - Do I need to refrigerate it? Unopened, the shelf life is indefinite. It can be refrigerated safely for weeks (if there is any left!)
It tastes so good, is it ‘healthy’? With only 90 calories and 5 grams of fat per ½ cup serving, it is also very low in sodium and carbohydrates; it’s even ok for diabetic diets.
Check the ingredients list and nutrition panel, and you’ll discover that this is a ‘good news’ product, which is not only tasty, but also nutritious!
How do you get the vegetables to be so 'crunchy'? The cooking process is done very quickly, with the entire batch reaching the boiling point in about 25 minutes, so the vegetables are not 'overcooked' and remain crisp, crunchy, and full of flavor!
How do you get so much flavor in it? The chemical action of the vinegar brings out a natural sweetness from the fresh vegetables. There is ‘NO high fructose corn syrup or salt added. The interaction of all the different ingredients is nearly magical. But that's part of the secret recipe!
