I would like to make ice cream that doesn't taste like carageenan and preservatives. Thanks! Mon Jan 28 09:20:47 -0800 2008 161333 Conundra 1 3340880 Sea Breeze Farms has it often. They sell at the U-district (Saturday) and Ballard (Sunday) farmers markets. Get there early though as it often sells out. Mon Jan 28 10:35:04 -0800 2008 3340568 111701 patriciajane 2 3341327 I'm pretty sure they sell to the Ballard Market (grocery store) as well. I could be getting mixed up on the name but the Ballard Market does sell a local, organic cream that I believe has no additives. So does PCC, in glass bottles ($1.50 deposit), from a different company. Mon Jan 28 12:05:22 -0800 2008 3340880 12186 christy319 3 3341833 Much to my surprise, I've noticed that carrageenan is used in organic products. Hopefully a local source would not. Mon Jan 28 13:52:32 -0800 2008 3341327 56054 dave_c 4 3342341 carrageenen is ground-up seaweed and there is no reason for it not to be organic. Mon Jan 28 16:08:19 -0800 2008 3341833 15855 mrnelso 3 3342880 Okay, it's actually called Fresh Breeze and the only ingredient is cream. Their website shows where you can buy it besides Ballard: http://www.freshbreezeorganic.com/retailers.php Mon Jan 28 19:20:05 -0800 2008 3341327 12186 christy319 4 3343063 We (patriciajane and I) mildly prefer Fresh Breeze's heavy cream for what we need it for. Sea Breeze's is usually so fresh it doesn't beat well. Mon Jan 28 20:26:04 -0800 2008 3342880 102157 jaydeflix 1 3340946 I've had a hard time finding cream without carrageenan. However, I did see some at Pike's Place market. I think it was in a dairy store near the fish tossing stall. To be honest, I'd have to walk the Market again to find the place. I know it wasn't Beecher's. Mon Jan 28 10:46:35 -0800 2008 3340568 56054 dave_c 2 3344879 pike place creamery in the sanitary market on the east side of pike place behind jack's fish spot carries a range of creams including unpasteurized (which is what one needs to make real clotted cream) Tue Jan 29 11:31:10 -0800 2008 3340946 14758 howard 1st 3 3379003 I second the PP Creamery. Fri Feb 08 16:48:38 -0800 2008 3344879 126958 StripperingGourmet 1 3346782 at Madison Market there are multiple brands of cream from local dairies, Golden Glen Creamery (glass bottles) Sea Breeze and Fresh Breeze Some of these might be available at PCC & Whole Foods too ... I think the national brands of organic have carageenan in them and some are ultra pasteurized ... Tue Jan 29 20:00:26 -0800 2008 3340568 32946 oliveoyl 1 3347049 I just noticed that Alpenrose, which I get at a regular grocery store, has no additives either. Tue Jan 29 22:34:39 -0800 2008 3340568 12186 christy319 1 3351978 In addition to Alpenrose, Sunshine Dairy also does not use additives in their heavy cream (both are Portland based, I believe). If you want organic, Trader Joe's brand and Organic Valley are two other brands that do not have additives. Thu Jan 31 09:39:07 -0800 2008 3340568 11210 JillO 2 3353074 I think Organic Valley has carrageenan in it. At least it did last time I looked. Thu Jan 31 13:32:59 -0800 2008 3351978 86802 vanillagorilla 3 3354483 yep it does .... Thu Jan 31 21:54:54 -0800 2008 3353074 32946 oliveoyl 1 4182315 I have helped Fresh Breeze Organic get going and know the attention to detail they involve themselves in. Their cream is "heavy" cream and is available at a couple of stores in the Seattle area. It has no additives. I worked for Darigold for many years and they never added anything to their heavy cream either. The one thing to avoid is ultra pasteurized cream, or milk for that matter. To me it always tastes burned. All cream should whip well so long as it wasn't homogenized, it doesn't matter how fresh it is. Tue Nov 18 04:37:25 -0800 2008 3340568 241138 dairykeith
