Carrageenan triggers migraines for me so it's a problem when I need to find whipping cream. I'd like to see it eliminated in organic products.

Try Agave or "raw" honey for sweetner, both are organic

Try Agave or "raw" unprocessed honey, both are true organic sweetners

A simple organic sweetner with the full body taste of refined sugar is Agave, another alternative is "raw" unprocessed honey. Both are pretty interchangeable in taste to me.

My kids liked it with maple syrup. Do you carry dairy that is 100% grassfed? Organic with some grass is great but we are hearing a lot about the benefits of 100% grassfed.

I'm with Kaitlin - why the controversy over carrageenan???? Yes, fewer ingredients are better, but if you need to add them for stabilization in shipping (the reason in the case of whipping cream) then it's best to use a natural ingredient - which carrageenan IS - instead of chemicals.
If you want the MOST minimal ingredients in your whipping cream - buy a cow.

Thanks for this simple ice cream recipe! Why is there controversy in the use of carrageenan in whipping cream? Is it not a vegetarian ingredient created from seaweed?
