Va-Va gourmet specialties are available at SRPs of $3.99-$7.99, contingent on size and recipe. The company offers over 30 unique vegetable products and recipes in over 100 sizes.

Va-Va Mediterranean Specialties Remain True to Their Roots Free Your Taste Buds with Free For All Kitchen "Free Your Taste Buds ® ," and experience what gluten-free snacking can be – delicious for all to enjoy. Last year, Part- ners, A Tasteful Choice Company, maker of all-natural, non- GMO, wholesome and delicious crackers, cookies and granola, recently introduced its first gluten-free line, Free for All Kitchen ® , and the line is already winning awards. Since 1992, founder Marian Harris has taken great care to create and perfect every one of her recipes, and the gluten-free additions are no exception. Made without rice, corn or soy, Free for All Kitchen gluten-free crackers debuted in three of Partners' most popular flavors: Olive Oil & Herb, Roasted Garlic & Rosemary, and Olive Oil & Sea Salt. The crackers are available in a variety of pack- aging styles. "I was looking for an alternative to the gluten-free crack- ers in the marketplace that are heavily processed or rely on rice fillers," said Marian Harris. "Our new gluten-free crackers are made from cassava root flour and a blend of five ancient grains: amaranth, quinoa, millet, sorghum and teff. It's a flavorful cracker that by virtue of its ingredients, happens to also be gluten-free." Free for All Kitchen gluten-free crackers have already received recognition as an innovative and creative prod- uct, honored by The Gourmet Retailer (Editors' Pick 2013), Grocery Headquarters (Selling Wellness Trailblazer Awards 2014) and Seattle Business Magazine's Washing- ton Manufacturing Awards (Food Processor of the Year 2014, Silver). If you have a sweet tooth, Partners will be expanding the Free for All Kitchen line later this year to include some sweet, crispy and crunchy gluten-free treats.
