What are those strange sounding words anyway?

You may have seen the commercial of the youngster who can't read the words mono- diglycerides. Although the sound of these words is rather exotic and do not convey a sense of purity, the fact is that these ingredients are all-natural. In ice cream, they act as emulsifiers - another exotic name. Emulsifiers are simply fatty substances used to keep the ice cream mixture consistent and to improve its whipping ability. When eggs are used in ice cream, they are also generally used as emulsifiers.

Some people, for religious or dietary reasons, worry that the mono- diglycerides in our ice cream might come from animals. Our ice cream use mono- and diglycerides that are completely plant based.
