About Us
Our Principles
Organic
We all know that organic foods contain no additives, no chemicals, and no preservatives, and by consuming organic foods - neither will you. We 
know that organic farming does not just take, it gives something back. Give and take - balance. These are important principles that we passionately support. But more importantly for Organic Bistro, organic vegetables, grains, nuts, fruits and spices taste better and provide higher levels of essential minerals and vitamins than conventional foods. Studies have shown that some organic vegetables contain more than 10 times the nutrient levels of their conventional counterparts.
At Organic Bistro we build our Whole Life Meals to provide the highest levels of nutrition, so organic ingredients are the smart choice. But that is not all; we believe that organic vegetables, grains, nuts, fruits and spices taste better. It's not scientific; we just eat the Whole Life Meals, then compare them to other frozen entrees made with conventional ingredients. Meals made with organic ingredients taste better. We believe it enough to pay the market premium for organic ingredients. You should try it for yourself.
Natural Health
For thousands of years we have relied upon the bounty of nature to provide the vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, anti-oxidants and other nutritional needs our bodies require to stay healthy. Only in the past half-century have we reached the point where heavy industrial agricultural practices and efficiency at all costs processing has reduced the nutritional value of our food so dramatically that in spite of eating more, we are actually receiving less nutrition. Dr. Don Davis of the University of Texas-Austin refers to this decline as dilution, or the reduction in concentration of some nutrients due to agriculture methods*. Dr. Callaway summarizes - "we are a nation nutritionally starved and calorically overdosed".
From the organic origins of our ingredients, through our culinary approach to meal preparation and even in our flash freezing which seals in the flavor and nutritional freshness as if it were only hours from the farmer’s field, the Organic Bistro approach to healthier eating is truly inspired by nature.
Nutrition Science
As a practicing naturopathic physician, our founder, Dr. Callaway, uses the best nutrition science to guide her patients toward optimal health. Making great food choices is her first line of treatment for patients seeking a healthier lifestyle and those with heart disease, adult-onset diabetes and obesity. Good nutrition comes from natural, unprocessed whole foods. Organic Bistro puts the science together with flavor to bring you nutritionally rich gourmet food for a healthy lifestyle.
Gourmet Ingredients
Gourmet Ingredients lay the foundation for the great taste of our meals. Organic shitake mushrooms, basil, edamame, sun-dried tomatoes, quinoa grain, wild-caught salmon and many other unique and delectable ingredients are combined to make a meal that is delicious, well balanced and satisfying. Organic Bistro Whole Life Meals challenge the traditional notion of frozen dinners by delivering truly Bistro style recipes for you to eat and serve without apology; secure in the knowledge that they are as good for you as they are good tasting.
Sophisticated Sauces & Spicing
Sophisticated Sauces & Spicing are another way in which our meals achieve their Bistro appeal. Here again, at the heart are organically grown spices, oils, fruits and vegetables that are carefully blended to add richness and character to each meal. Whether it’s the orange-ginger sauce on the Ginger Chicken, the raspberry vinaigrette sauce on our Wild Salmon or the lemon-herb sauce on the Chicken Citron, you can be confident that each meal affords a unique and extraordinary culinary experience that you will truly enjoy.
Organic Bistro sauces and spices are carefully integrated into the entire meal; tying the vegetable, the grain and the meat protein deliciously together.
Balance
Each meal is a balanced, whole meal containing distinct servings of vegetables, grains and a lean animal protein; a savory array of recipes that work together for maximum eating pleasure. Naturally high in fiber and other vital nutrients, the meals are filling and satisfying even for larger appetites.
Eat More
Eat More, Feel Better is a unique concept in a culture consumed with diet fads interspersed with super-sized failures. Because our meals are rich in essential nutrients that your body needs every day, the more often you eat them, the more help your body receives .... naturally. And you are less likely to overeat with our Whole Life Meals. Due to the way each meal is designed - well balanced, low-glycemic with high fiber content – most people feel naturally full after completing a meal. There is no need to eat more or to feel obligated to diet more.
