"The low-fat doughnut is the Holy Grail of the food industry. Food companies have been able to take most of the fat out of everything from cheese to Twinkies. But no one has succeeded in designing a marketable doughnut that dips below the federal low-fat threshold of three grams per serving. Doughnuts typically range from eight grams of fat for a glazed French cruller to more than double that for a cake-like doughnut."
*Holey Donuts!(tm) Frosted ring donuts were lab tested at an astonishing two point eight (2.8) grams of total fat per donut..Now you know why we have been the darling of the celebrity community for so long and finally the secret is out for all to enjoy!
Q. I see other donuts advertised as Trans Fat Free. What makes Holey Donuts!(tm) different?
A. There is a huge difference between Low Fat and only being Trans Fat free. Many donut companies are jumping on the trans fat free bandwagon but those donuts are still deep fried and loaded with fat and calories. Trans Fat free only means those donuts don't contain harmful trans fats, which is good but that's only half the story.Only Holey Donuts!(tm) has a unique cooking process that avoids deep frying altogether, creating a truly "low fat" donut and we have always had zero Trans Fats even before it was so chic.
After all, total fat is what makes you fat.
Q. Does Holey Donuts!(tm) use artificial sweeteners?
A. No, we do not use any artificial sweeteners or fat substitutes like Olestra. So our donuts are healthy and safe whether your pregnant or just concerned about what's in the foods you enjoy.
Q.Are your Donuts "Low Carb"?
A. Our donuts have carbs just like any ordinary donut. The goal at Holey Donuts!(tm) was not to make a diet donut, but to make a better donut. As donut lovers ourselves, we always hated that we had to limit our enjoyment of donuts because they were just so fattening. We set out to cook our donuts differently and as a natural side effect they happened to be Zero Trans Fats and have a total fat between two point eight grams(2.8) and three point eight grams per donut (3.8), whereas the average donut (even those that are trans fat free) can have as much as twenty (20) grams of total fat per donut. Our donuts are included on some of the countries largest and most successful weight loss/food delivery programs across America.
Q. Why does it cost so much to ship your donuts?
A. Our donuts must be shipped frozen due to the lack of hydrogenated vegetable shortening (this is the harmful ingredient in other donuts that keeps them "fresh" for days or months).We prepare your donuts fresh, then flash freeze them to lock in the freshness.
Your donuts are carefully hand packed in a special cooler box with dry ice and shipped across the country, either overnight or second day. All of this care and special packaging creates a 12 to 15 pound package that is costly to ship via express services. Sometimes we even lose money on shipping.
Q. I am allergic to nuts, dairy and wheat. Can i eat your donuts?
A. We do not use nuts in any of our donuts but we do use coconut on select donuts. Our donuts do contain wheat and dairy. Please check with your physician.
Q. Can I eat your donuts if I am watching my cholesterol?
A. Holey Donuts!(tm) are cholesterol free
Q. I've had other "low fat " products that taste terrible. Do you donuts taste low fat?
A. That's the most amazing thing about our donuts. There is nothing low fat about the taste!They taste like any other donut but without the greasy aftertaste or that heavy feeling that stays with you for hours after eating fried foods.
Q. What is this secret cooking process? Do you bake your donuts?
A. Actually, if you just try to bake a donut you'd get something like bread. Holey Donuts!(tm) took five years to develop. Everything had to be reinvented from the moisture content in the mix to the frostings. Obviously somethings must remain "trade secret" but if it were that simple everyone would be doing it. Our process includes using the best ingredients, skilled bakers who cut every donut by hand and a large team of specially trained "donut finishers" who artfully hand frost ,fill and decorate every donut. It's a time consuming process that accounts for a lot of the expense in every dozen Holey Donuts!(tm).
Q. Can I refreeze my donuts or should I put them in the refrigerator?
A. Yes, you can refreeze your donuts and store them in the freezer for up to one month. The refrigerator is not recommended. Your donuts will become dry and hard if stored in the refrigerator..always keep frozen for the best donut experience.
Q. My donuts arrived slightly defrosted. Are they still good?
A. Yes just refreeze them and they should be fine. If you feel they are really damaged, please email us for a refund or replacement
Q. The box is too large for my freezer.What is the best way to store my donuts?
A. While frozen, you can place your donuts in a large zip lock bag and place in your freezer, this saves considerable space.
