A few years ago, I began looking at our allergy-friendly foods a bit more closely. I have been an avid label reader ever since NutriSon was diagnosed with food allergies but when my own intolerances became apparent, I had to look even closer at ingredients. Being the kitchen geek that I am and always cooking, trying out new allergy-friendly products and perusing the baking aisle of the stores, I was intrigued when I came across Winona Pure Oils a few years ago. Since, then, I have never had another brand of oil in my kitchen pantry. Or, even under my bathroom sink (whaaat?! What is she talking about? Click here).
Pure Oil, Nothing Else- That's what I said and it's completely true. Winona Pure Oils are spray oils that are in a non-aerosol cans with no additives, propellants, soy or anything else, JUST OIL. As a food allergy mom, I love this and as a woman in her forties (hey, very early forties!!) having no soy added into the oils I can use safely for my entire family is a life-saver. (FYI- soy has been shown to effect hormones so we try to avoid it as much as possible).
Prizes? What Are the Prizes??? There will only be 2 winners (1 winner participating from the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference and 1 winner that did not attend the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference but played along online). Both of the winners will receive:
A surprise gift box of goodies from Winona Pure Oils
(Contest begins Friday, November 13th and ends at midnight on Sunday November 15th. Entries will be chosen ONLY if all of the contest details are followed and posts contain all of the required information. Both winners will be announced on Wednesday, November 18th. Should a winner not claim their prize within 48 hours of announcement, an alternate winner will be chosen. No replacement prizes will be given and items included in the surprise gift boxes may not be safe for any specific allergy need so please check all labeling and ingredients.)

Tell Us, Winona! I reached out to my contact at Winona Pure Oils and they answered a few questions so I could share with all of you.
Q: How long has Winona Pure been in business? A: The brand has been around for five years but the family company has been in business for twenty years.
Q: Is there anything that your oils cannot be used with or on? A: They can be applied to any food and also many household and beauty uses. They are pure oils.
Q: How did the idea of a pure oil come about? A: Our owner brought the technology over from Germany and wanted to be the first company to offer a healthy spray cooking oil option after his wife beat breast cancer.
Q: Sprayed, streamed or dripped- was this a consumer request? A: No, this was developed for ease of use for consumers. We have an actuator that is patented.
Q: Will you have additional products in the near future? A: We are always developing new flavors and watching consumer trends.
Q: Not only are your oils pure, your website states that the container can be recycled, is it true? A: You bet!
