Food Sources
Polenta is a corn meal that comes in a transparent plastic tube with metal rings at the ends. It comes in plain and multiple flavors and can be found at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Henrys. It can be a little hard to find in the stores. In Whole Foods, it is in the section with pasta noodles on the very bottom shelf.
No-oil spaghetti sauce can be found at Trader Joe’s – its the one with mushrooms. Whole Foods has a no-oil spaghetti sauce that is labeled almost identically to the one with fat in it, except the no-oil version has a small “No Fat” on the top of the label.
