Dipperz (MSRP $3.99) are the very first pre-dipped and ready to munch broccoli, cauliflower and carrot crunchies and allow health conscious consumers and savory snack lovers alike to enjoy an entire pound of delicious pre-dipped veggies in conven- ient 1.5 ounce packages. Not only does de- hydrating the veggies at 118 degrees allow Wonderfully Raw to fit so much nutrition into such a handy pouch, it keeps all of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes intact! This ensures optimum nutritional delivery in every delectable bite. One serving of Dip- perz delivers a healthy dose of calcium, iron, protein and vitamins C and A in just 120 sat- isfying calories. Customers can get their munch on with three scrumptious Dipperz varieties: Cheezy, Ranch and Lemongrass Chili!

In addition to Dipperz, Wonderfully Raw is also introducing a new Coco-Roon flavor, Orange Dreamsicle, to its award-winning line up of Coco-Roons!
