Mountain Organic Foods adds Bear Fruit Bar to list of snack foods
The bar is available in 4 flavors and made entirely from organic apples and organic fruit juice concentrates.
15/07/05 The new Bear Fruit Bar from Mountain Organic Foods has been added to a list of snack foods with "great taste and good nutrition" at Winningfoods.com. The bar, available in 4 flavors and made entirely from organic apples and organic fruit juice concentrates, was selected for its nutrition merits and its "winning" taste, texture and convenience -- qualities that encourage consumption of healthier foods such as fruit.
Each bar contains more than one apple, with no added sugar or citric acid (a tart-tasting preservative). Dried apple, the primary ingredient, contains soluble fiber from pectin, making it heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly (it's low on the Glycemic Index) and dieter-friendly (it provides satiety longer than most "carbs," for fewer calories). Because of its fiber content and lack of fat, the Bear Fruit Bar meets newly enacted school nutrition criteria for snacks in various states (e.g., California, pursuant to SB19). The bars contain no allergens such as wheat, dairy or nuts.
Bear Fruit Bars are a convenient "organic apple a day" for those at work, school or backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail.
Since 2003, www.winningfoods.com has been a consumer-friendly showcase of food products selected for their winning combination of taste, nutrition and convenience.
