Theo Chocolate

One of the vendors I was excited to see at the Boston Vegetarian Society Festival was Theo Chocolate. Have you tried it? You can find it at Whole Foods, or order it directly from their website.

I picked up a couple of bars at the festival, including their sea salt 70% dark, which I HIGHLY recommend!

Boston Vegetarian Society Festival

Last Saturday I attended the Boston Vegetarian Society Festival in Boston and got to talk to some great vendors.

This company, Biena, makes a delicious roasted chickpea snack, sold for $3.00 a bag, which seemed reasonable. The chickpeas can be eaten right out of the bag as a snack in their own right, or tossed in a salad as a crunchy topping!

From their site:

Biena Roasted Chickpeas are available in 3 delicious flavors:

Cinnamon Maple: Bold Vietnamese Cinnamon, a touch of Pure Maple Syrup and Evaporated Cane Juice. They’re sweet enough to satisfy those sweet cravings, without being too sweet. Ingredients & Nutrition Facts

Lime & Chili: Tangy, real lime with a spicy chili blend made from ancho chilis and cayenne pepper. It’s a bold flavor with a spicy chili kick that builds over time. Ingredients & Nutrition Facts

Sea Salt: Lightly dusted with sea salt harvested from the Atlantic Ocean. The original crunchy roasted chickpea snack that started our brand! Ingredients & Nutrition Facts

2012 Boston Vegetarian Society Festival

Saturday I attended (my second) Boston Vegetarian Society Festival. It's a very popular event (i.e. super crowded!) held in a college gymnasium. The event draws people from all over New England, excited to hear speakers, meet cookbook authors, mingle with food/clothing vendors and sample lots of food and drink samples.

One of the vendors I like is the Herbivore Clothing Company. I didn't get a t-shirt this year, but if you've seen me wearing a "I'm vegan and I love you" shirt, this is where I got it last year!
