20 years ago Seeds of Change began with a simple mission: to preserve biodiversity and promote sustainable, organic agriculture.  They back that pledge today by donating 1% of net sales to promote sustainable organic farming initiatives worldwide and their line of great tasting, certified organic foods also includes salad dressings, frozen entrees, pasta sauces, rices, grains and now…delicious chocolate!

Last month Seeds of Change kicked off its national product rollout in Boulder, Colorado, chosen specifically because Boulder is on the path to becoming a Zero Waste city and has been pursuing positive environmental initiatives since it was founded over 100 years ago.  With the launch, the company announced their “Change Tastes Good” environmental initiative contest.  People can submit videos (up to 3 minutes long), photos, or stories (here) describing what they’ve done to help the Earth.  The Grand Prize is a 365~day supply of Seeds of Change Chocolate plus a varity of their other organic products.  The contest deadline is July 31, 2009.   

I was recently sent samples of all six of the Seeds of Change chocolate bars to put to the test, and as an unwavering dark chocolate fan…my favorite of the bunch is definitely the Cashew and Mango Dark Chocolate Bar.  What makes Seeds of Change Chocolate unique?  Their chocolatiers only the finest USDA Certified Organic cacao beans and pair that with Certified Organic fruits and nuts for certifiably delicious flavors.  Their milk chocolate is made from 43% cacao, with a smooth texture and a rich chocolate flavor and their Organic Dark Chocolate is 61% cacao with a smooth, bold flavor.
