Healthy Hash Browns? You Bet!

First, a Little Hash Brown History

Although the hashing of foods has been around for centuries, the first printed reference to hash browns appeared in the Minnesota Farmers’ Institute Annual of 1835.

Maria Parloa, cookbook author and food lecturer, was the first to include several healthy hash brown recipes in a cookbook. They appeared in Miss Parloa's Kitchen Companion: A Guide for All Who Would Be Good Housekeepers (Boston: Estes and Lauriat, 1887).

Not long after, in the 1890s, hash browns went mainstream and were served as a gourmet breakfast side in New York’s finest hotels.

“You break open our products, you see vegetables,” says founder and CEO of Strong Roots, Sam Dennigan. “When consumers look at the back of our packs, they understand the ingredients and what goes into their food. Something like a hash brown is a simple staple food and we wanted to bring a veg-forward and non-processed alternative to the market. They are now one of our hero products and the consumers really love them.”

Add a dash of salt, maybe some pepper, and enjoy all the health benefits that cauliflower has to offer.
