Function-forward salad dressing brand is recognized for outstanding health benefits and flavor by Taste of Life Food Essentials Awards
Queen of Hearts, an Oregon-based company leading the 100% plant-based, nutrient-dense dressing space, has been awarded the Taste of Life Food Essentials Award for best Salad Dressing in the recent 2023 competition. Sassy Italian, just one of several delicious and nutrient-packed dressing varieties offered by Queen of Hearts, was the top winner in its category. Consumers can learn more about Queen of Hearts and locate the product on shelf in the Pacific Northwest and online – and at many other retail grocery shelves, soon, nationwide. The dressings are available at an SRP of $9.99 to $11.99.
Queen of Hearts’ Sassy Italian is comprised of cold-pressed hemp seed oil, expeller-pressed organic sunflower seed oil, water, organic raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, hemp hearts, hemp protein powder, sea salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic, basil, organic dijon mustard. This clean ingredient profile not only tastes incredible, but is sustainable in every sense of the word.
“It’s so rewarding to see these innovative and vibrant dressings get the fanfare they deserve,” shares Queen of Hearts Founder Tonia Farman. “This award fuels us in our efforts to encourage clean eating consumers to ‘dress differently’ with sustainable choices and cleaner alternatives to traditional dressings.”
Queen of Hearts addresses the lack of nutritional quality typical to dressings and marinades with a thoughtful approach to ingredient and process integrity. The hemp seed ingredients of the dressings also excel in helping improve the health of our food system agriculturally. Nutritional hemp makes up almost 30% of each flavor, playing a vital role in supporting the carbon-capture and soil-remediation efforts of the plant on which the hemp seed is grown. Industrial hemp grain plants also reduce water reliance and provide bees a vital source of food during the late, nectar-deprived summer months. Bottle by bottle, Queen of Hearts continues to revolutionize clean and sustainable eating.
