No Calories, Fat, Carbs, Gluten or Sugar.... With Walden Farms!

No taste? You would think so... but it's worth the try! Walden Farms’ mission has been to develop healthy specialty foods, helping people control their calories, fat, carbohydrates, gluten or sugars of any kind…without giving up great taste, ”The Walden Way.”

The company mainly sells in the US but I've heard that their products are available in some grocery stores, like IGA, in Quebec
