50 NATURALLY HEALTHY GOURMET NEWS SEPTEMBER 2013 SKINNY POP ALLOWS GUILT FREE INDULGENCE IN GOOD-FOR-YOU POPCORN In 2010, Pam Netzky and Andy Friedman were running a retail popcorn business in Chicago. They had an idea, and with it, they uncovered a tremendous opportunity in the better-for-you, ready-to-eat popcorn space. They pursued their idea with hard work and determination and, as a result, SkinnyPop Popcorn was born. Three years later, you can find their creation in most major food retailers nationwide. Currently, SkinnyPop is available in two flavors – Original and Black Pepper, and in several different sizes (including individual bags that are great for on-the-go, portion control, lunches, etc.). Look out for new flavors set to launch this January.

SOHGAVE: A SINGULAR TYPE OF AGAVE There are more than 168 varieties of agave in the world, but only one Blue Weber agave, and only one is Sohgave. Blue Weber agave is grown almost exclusively in Guadalajara, Mexico. Sohgave is a pure, unrefined, low glycemic sweetener–lower on the glycemic scale than sugar, honey, maple syrup and other sweeteners. Still, it is approximately 30 percent sweeter than sugar, so you'll use less. For this reason, it is an appealing sweetener for people who monitor their glucose intake. Sohgave. Nectar is nature's subtle concentrated sweetener, and remarkably, its flavor is neutral and adaptable for baking, cooking and grilling. It will not crystallize like honey and it dissolves quickly in hot or cold. Even better, this all-purpose sweetener is a good economical alternative to sweeteners. Why Sohgave? The low glycemic agave, tested at 17 GI labs in Toronto, is USDA organic certified and kosher – so it's trustworthy. It's also a trendy brand,with a BPA free re-useable and recyclable bottle. It has been tasted and trusted as well, as it's been endorsed by chef and author Ania Catalano who wrote "Baking with Agave Nectar." For more information, visit www.sohgave.com or head to booth #2815.
