Truly Good Foods www.trulygoodfoods.com/treat4u trEAT4u Snack Bags Niwri is a unique beverage cold brewed from green tea and coffee cherries, also known as cascara. Cascara, which means "husk" or "skin" in Spanish, is the dried skins of coffee cherries. These pulped skins are collected after the seeds (i.e., the cof- fee beans) have been re- moved from the cherries. People often inquire whether cascara is a coffee or tea. It's something in between; cascara does not come from coffee beans or tea leaves but from the fruit of the coffee tree. However, even though it comes from the coffee plant, it does not taste like coffee. Cascara has a sweet, fruity taste with notes of rose hip and hibiscus. The essence is similar to a su- perb blend of fruits including raspberry, currant, cranberry and cherry. Aside from its taste, Cas- cara is reputed to have many great health benefits. The coffee cherry fruit has higher antioxidant levels than many other fruits high in antioxidants.

Specialty Food Association 646.878.0301 www.specialtyfood.com/gn2 Fall River Wild Rice: New Ways with America's Native Grain Interest in plants and grains is soaring, as shoppers look for new ways to eat healthy. High in protein and fiber, nutty and with a striking visual appeal, wild rice is one of the healthiest grains available. It was a staple food of several Na- tive American tribes, who called it "manoomin" or "precious grain." Fall River Wild Rice brings this culinary gem to your store shelf. This natu- rally cultivated wild rice is great in salads, soups and stir-fries. However, it also works well in mixes for pancakes and muffins and even in chocolate and desserts. Fall River's Fully Cooked Wild Rice is high-pro- tein goodness in seconds. The only cereal grain native to North America, wild rice is not even a rice at all. It is the seed of Zizania plustris, a tall, blooming water grass that prospers in the Great Lakes region, as well as in the fruitful valley in the shad- ows of the Sierra Nevadas and the Rockies. Fall River Wild Rice is a small grower- owned cooperative in the Fall River Valley, a rural mountain valley nestled be- tween the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges.
