3 Colleges that Turn Tailgate Parties into an Art

As sure as football season brings in throngs of frothing fanatics to the bumper, camping out with bags of Whale Tails Tortilla Chips and bratwurst in hand in the most traditional way, there will always be college students with unique ideas on how to make tailgating an art.

Take for example The University of Washington. On the cold, jagged waters of Lake Washington, situated near the east end of the stadium resides moored boats. And on game day, these boats become a makeshift parking lot filled to the bow and stern with Huskies drinking and cajoling. What the Husky Harbor lacks in concrete, they make up for with ingenuity. Truly original.

Travel to the East Coast and you'll find the venerable, old soul known as Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish dress up their events with good old fashioned Irish revelry. Dressing up tables with Irish floral arrangements, donning traditional garb, drinking Irish beer and eating Irish food. Wonder if they could use some Whale Tails Tortilla Chips and salsa to mix things up with?

Finally, we head to the Deep South, the culturally-rich geographic sub-region where Louisiana State lives and, according to some, actually breathes. LSU students have turned tailgate cooking into a professional arena. They have replaced typical tailgating dishes like hot dogs with ribs; scrapped hamburgers for jambalaya; and turned bratwurst into roasted pig. Honestly... roasted pig. Who knew LSU was more than a great place to go to school and a superb football team?

The trouble can be finding affordable and tasty foods to eat when trying to cut gluten out of your regular diet. We have a perfect organic snack for you.

Gluten is a protein found in most wheat, barley and rye. New research has found that more and more people have an allergic or negative reaction to it. These negative reactions can lead to harmful symptoms like cancer and infertility. However, gluten is present in everything from pizza dough to many soups.

No Whales Were Harmed During the Making of This Chip!

These days you can never be too sure about what’s in the food you’re eating or where it came from.  Many companies go to great lengths to hide and disguise this information, because the facts are typically horrifying. Whale Tails Tortilla Chips is proud of the ingredients they put in each and every chip and is happy to share with their customers where those ingredients came from.

The word ‘chip’ has a bad rap.  It is often associated with grease, fat, and high levels of sodium. But people continue to eat chips because of the great taste.  Whale Tails Tortilla chips transforms what we thought we knew about chips by making it a healthy snack and still maintaining that same delicious taste every chip eater wants.

• The Original Flavor Yellow Organic Corn with “Alaea” Red Gourmet Hawaiian chip contains Alaea, a salt that is a product of the Hawaiian Islands.  Alaea is unique because of its low sodium content and is an essential mineral that our body requires on a daily basis.

• The Hawaiian Barbeque tortilla chips take a new spin on the long standing concept of the barbeque chip.  It contains a savory island barbeque flavor with a light trace of mango and a splash of lime for zest.

• We can’t forget about the Organic Blue Corn Infused with Chia tortilla chips.  This flavor contains the super seed chia.  This small seed packs a punch.  It contains high amounts of omega-3, more than any other vegetable.  The seed has essential amino acids, and five times more calcium than milk.

All Whales Tails tortilla chips are made with organic corn grown in the USA.  These chips are gluten free and contain zero transfat. Chip eaters will be thrilled to know Whale Tails Tortilla chips contain no GMO’s and are kosher.  Enjoy this guilt free snack and relax knowing no whales were injured in the making of this chip!

The Search For Gluten Free Chinese Food Ends Here

One of the most difficult things about trying to live gluten free today is attempting to figure out what is safe to order from your typical restaurant menu.  Eventually, most establishments will probably offer a separate menu for those who are sensitive to gluten.  Until then, there are some foods that you can feel confident in ordering at the restaurant where you get your favorite chinese take-out.

• Desserts

Chinese New Year's cookies, almond cookies, steamed puddings and Chinese rice cake.  Some examples include Tangyuan (a dumpling), Nian gao (Chinese New Year Cake), the ear-shaped Erkuai and Tainan Bowl Rice Cake.

• Appetizers

Dim Sum is a favorite dumpling made with rice and Spring Rolls are often made with rice flour wrappings.  Fried Bean Curd is another good choice in appetizers.  Fried foods are often made with a corn starch coating so inquire if your favorite is gluten-free.

• Entrees

Most rice dishes are gluten-free including steamed and fried rice, sizzling rice and rice noodles.  Also, Stuffed Bean Curd and Bean Thread noodles are good choices.

• Rice Flour

Rice flour is used in steamed noodles, rice buns, pancakes and wraps that surrounding fillings (make sure they do not contain soy sauce), steamed dumplings and many types of traditional cookies.
At Whale Tails Chips, we hope we can help made sticking to your diet while eating out much easier.  It is always a good idea that you inquire of your server which foods will fit your needs for a gluten-free meal.
When it comes to your questions about healthy eating and snacking, we want to assure you that all of our products are kosher, organic, GMO-free with zero trans fat and, of course, naturally gluten free.  In addition to all natural ingredients, our unique shape for an organic tortilla chip is a reminder that Whale Tails Chips is actively involved in worldwide marine conservation and educational programs.  Contact us to learn more or to find your new favorite snack!

Five Things Shaped Like A Whale's Tail

Nature's beauty has often inspired mankind to imitate its shapes and colors.  Here are five things--natural and not--that are shaped like a whale's tail.

Which one's your favorite? Can you guess ours?
(Hint: It's Number Five!)

1. Thong underwear poking over low-rise jeans.  Popular since the early 2000s, this  "whale tail" is often seen at frat parties, celebrity dos and episodes of "What Not to Wear."
2. Some turbine blades for dynamic efficiency in aeolian power generation.  Just like a whale's huge tail and fins propel the animal efficiently, some wind turbine blades have ridges inspired by cetaceans in hopes that they'll produce more energy and less noise.
3. The reef in beautiful Uvita, Costa Rica. This sandbar leading to a tropical reef is shaped like an elegant, yet humongous, whale's tail, and is clearly visible from the air. This is a popular tourist destination for water sports--really, what better place to splish splash than by a reef that looks like a whale's tail?
4. It makes sense that the next invention took its inspiration from our whale friends--boaters are at the water more than most people (excepting surfers, of course). The "whale tail" attachment for outboard motors on boats is designed to help the vessel stay on plane easier.  
5. Saving the best for last, of course,  is our own Whale Tails Tortilla Chips, available in three flavors and made using natural, organic,  gluten-free, non-GMO ingredients. Bite into some of our chips for a whale of a snack! Be sure to contact us for more information about our yummy, nature-inspired chips.

Tummy Growling? Look for Healthy Vending Options

I am sure you have been there. You have spent the day surfing or on the beach with your family. All the snacks were eaten on the beach, or perhaps they were eaten in the car on the way to your next destination. You are trying to eat as healthy as possible, but your schedule sometimes gets tight, which causes you to eat on the run occasionally. Whether you are at work on an empty stomach or at the hospital visiting a loved one, you will find healthy vending options in your nearest snack machines.

One of those healthy vending options is Whale Tail's Blue Corn Tortilla Chips infused with Chia. Chia seed is a super food that contains omega-3 fatty acids, and omega-3's are known to lower cholesterol. 

They are also a good source of fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. For hundreds of years, this tiny seed was used by the Aztecs as their main energy source. Plant Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Cleveland Clinic

Not only is it healthy to eat our chips, it is incredibly fun too. The tortilla chips are shaped like a whale's tail. 

Having the Chia infused into the Corn Chips is not the only reason that the chips are healthy for you. All varieties of Whales Tail's Chips are made with Organic Corn that is grown in the USA. Our chips are naturally gluten free. They do not contain any genetically modified organisms or Trans Fat, and they are kosher.

Next time your tummy is growling, and you are far from a carrot stick but near a vending machine, look for our organic tortilla chips. We have 3 varieties.

• Original Yellow Corn Chips with “Alaea” Red Gourmet Hawaiian Sea Salt
• Hawaiian Barbeque Flavor Chip
• Blue Tor"Chia" Chips

Contact us if you have any questions, or to find a distributor near you.

The Many Benefits of Chia Seeds

You might have seen our Organic Blue Corn chips, which advertise that they are infused with chia seeds and you may have found yourself wondering, "So?"  If that's gone through your head, allow us to take a minute to talk about the benefits of chia seeds.  Yes, we're dedicating a whole blog to chia seeds, because they are just that cool.

Chia seeds are considered a superfood, which is to say it is a food that contains a high amount of nutrition per bite.  Chia seeds are taken from a desert plant, Salvia hispanica, which is a member of the mint family.  Mainly grown in southern Mexico, it is said that Indians used the seed for energy and substance.  They are flavorless on their own and magnify the flavors they are mixed with, which means you get the benefit without any weird tastes.

So what can the seed do for you?  

• Help you lose weight.  If you were to take some chia seeds and put them in a glass of water and return in about an hour, the water would become gelatinous because of all the soluble fiber in the seed.  This gelatin property helps you feel fuller longer.  In addition, it prevents calories from being absorbed since the gel provides a coating and prevents caloric absorption.
• Chia seeds are high in calcium.  In fact, they have more calcium than whole milk.
• Chia seeds have tons of anti-oxidant properties.  The same thing you find in blueberries and exotic fruits.  Anti-oxidants help you stay younger longer.  That's why chia seeds are capable of staying fresh for so long at room temperature without preservatives.  You can leave them on the counter for two years and they'll still remain fresh and ready to eat.
• Chia seeds have omega-3.  They have more omega-3 than salmon!  Omega-3 helps heart disease and other inflammatory causing problems, like arthritis.  In addition, they help to reduce blood pressure.
• Chia seeds give you energy.  Because they contain complete protein, and balance that with other vitamins and minerals, you'll have more energy that is long lasting.

There is an abundance of ways to include chia seeds in your diet; we've found just one tasty way by including it in our Organic Blue Corn Whale Tails!

3 Healthy Lunch Ideas for Gluten Free Kids

Coming up with new ideas for lunch every day while trying to maintain a gluten free diet for your child can be a daunting task; just when you think you’ve cracked the code, they get bored. Their tastes change, or they discover “Lunchables” in the grocery store and refuse to discuss a rice cracker and vegan cheese option.
Here are 3 complete lunch plans that will spark your kid’s appetite for healthy, gluten free food.

1. Oceans of Lunch; Hawaiian BBQ Whale tail chips with a build it yourself wrap. Try putting a favorite lunchmeat, small slices of cheese, a gluten free wrap cut in half, and raw vegetables sliced thin in a container so your child can build their own lunch. Include a small container of slices of starfruit.
2. Dip It; Many kids will try a new vegetable if it’s accompanied by a favorite dip. Try broccoli cut up so it looks like little trees and washed and peeled carrots cut in half lengthwise so they are still very long. Cut an apple off of the core, and then carefully reassemble it. Hold it together with one hand and wrap a rubber band around the thickest part of the apple. It looks whole, now. But the cut sides of the apple won’t turn brown. Include a small container of fruit dip. Don’t forget the Blue Corn Whale tail chips and a small container of salsa!
3. Fiesta on Friday; A soft gluten free taco shell, Mexican rice, your meat of choice (or omit the meat for a vegetarian  option), a small container of shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa are all you need to provide a fun Friday lunch. Add Original Whale Tail chips and expect an empty lunchbox at the end of the day!  

For extra credit, slip a joke in your child’s lunch. Here’s a freebie:
What time is it when a whale runs into your boat?
Time to get a new boat!

The original flavor Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt was the by far the best dipping chip I have ever had with guacamole.
