Elmhurst Milked: Continuity, Ingenuity, Sustainability Elmhurst Milked, formerly Elmhurst Dairy (est. 1925), is a family-owned company that keeps the promise of dairy values and trans- lates them to its new vegan products. Utiliz- ing patented technology, Elmhurst Milked offers wholesome nutrition and clean label solutions with innovative new product offer- ings. As CPG companies push further into the frontier of vegan nutrition and clean label technologies, Elmhurst Milked stands out as a pioneer. Using patented "cold-milled" technology, Elmhurst Milked has created a nutritious, clean label nut milk that embodies the creamy nutritious ideals of dairy milk in a way that no other vegan milk can, all while creating a story of continuity, ingenuity and sustainability that brings trust and hope to entire categories of vegan products. Elmhurst Milked provides a chance to ex- perience what nut milks should be: native nut flavors in a creamy beverage that derives its properties from the nut itself. Consumers will no longer be confused by an endless list of additives, or by excessively expen- sive "fresh" nut blends from unre- fined pastes and HPP technologies. The possibilities of Elmhurst Milked are virtu- ally endless. One can expect to see vast expansion beyond its first four products, made from al- monds, walnuts, hazelnuts and cashews. These are already changing the very idea of nut milk in the marketplace. Elmhurst Milked's technology will enable it to channel many more vegan staples to their full potential, as beverages that invigorate life. Elmhurst Dairy started in a milk house in Queens, New York. No one could have ex- pected that a small door-to- door fresh dairy delivery business would, almost a century later, become a game-changer in a rival cate- gory. It is a story of innovation, but also ap- plying old traditions in new ways. Elmhurst Milked's products are an answer for a world that is realizing a call to greater conscious- ness.

New Options for Snack Attacks from Simple Mills Snacking just got cleaner with new Simple Mills Crunchy Cookies and Sprouted Seed Crackers – the latest additions to the com- pany's top-selling lineup of grain-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, nothing-artificial- ever baking mixes, crackers and frostings. Simple Mills' new ready-to-eat Crunchy Cookies go easy on the sugar by using co- conut sugar that limits the glycemic impact while also helping reduce sugar content by 25-40 percent compared to most cookie brands. Other ingredients include a naturally gluten-free base-flour blend consisting of al- monds, coconuts and high-fiber prebiotic root vegetables called tigernuts that were a corner- stone of Paleolithic diets, plus coconut oil, tapioca, arrowroot, vanilla extract and sea salt. The cookies are vegan, paleo-friendly, crisp to the bite (no mushy texture) and available in Chocolate Chip, Double Choco- late, Cinnamon and Toasted Pecan varieties. Bonus: each cookie has just 40 calories. Simple Mills' new 2-inch-round Sprouted Seed Crackers feature a high-bioavailability sprouted seed blend that delivers more nutri- tional bang per bite, real cracker crunch that makes them a perfect foundation for your fa- vorite toppings and the same gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, paleo-friendly, lower- carb, non-GMO good- ness found in all Simple Mills products. Offered in Original, Everything, Jalapeño and Garlic & Herb fla- vors, the new crackers are made from a blend of sunflower, flax and chia seeds that have been sprouted for greater nutrient absorption. This seed base also lowers the carbohydrate level by 20-50 percent compared to leading cracker brands, supplies 3 grams of protein per serving, is a good source of Vitamin E and manganese, and provides more than 1,000mg of ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) Omega 3s. The new products, launched at the beginning of the year, join Simple Mills' portfolio of eight natural baking mixes, six almond flour crackers and two organic frostings. Simple Mills is the No. 1 fastest-growing natural baking mix and cracker brand, the No. 2 natural bak- ing mix brand by dollars sold, and the No. 3 natural cracker brand by dollar volume. It's that simple. For more information, visit www .simplemills.com or stop by booth #848.
