It has been providing raw, bitter Cali- fornia grown apricot seeds since 1999. Since then, Apricot Power has grown to sell more than 100 different high quality products and supplements to health-conscious customers around the world.

Apri- cot Power natural B17 is extracted from apri- cot seeds and made into 100mg and 500mg tablets and capsules. It's perfect for those that want to enhance their intake of B17. B17 Seed Capsules Apricot Power found innovative ways to get B17 into a host of convenient items. One of the more unique products is its seed caps. Some find the seeds to be too bit- ter, so Apricot Power created seed capsules for those that want all the nutritional benefits of apricot seeds without the bitter taste. Each seed cap contains the equivalent of 2-1/2 seeds. That means each one has about 60mg of B17 along with B-15, and the naturally occurring enzymes found in apricot seeds.

Frontier Soups Offers New Clipper Display Frontier Soups' new standalone floor clipper display for its quicker-cooking Homemade- In-Minutes™ line of gourmet soup mixes can help retailers capitalize on the rising popularity of meal kits that allow consumers to get healthy meals on the table quickly. The new four-sided, black floor clipper display is on wheels and is designed to help retailers easily create an attractive soup pres- entation for cross-merchandising with com- plementary products needed to complete a soup meal kit. In order to prepare the recipes for the mixes, home cooks add fresh and pantry items such as broth, canned tomatoes, produce and meat, and merchandising the soup mixes in those areas has helped retailers capture added sales, according to Matt An- derson, Frontier Soups co-Owner. "The bakery is another good opportunity for cross-merchandising. Great Harvest Bread Company has carried our mixes for many years because home cooks like the idea of rounding out a soup meal with a good loaf of bread," Anderson said. "Salads are a natural accompaniment for those who want to eat on the lighter side, so a merchandising display near the leafy greens in the produce depart- ment also provides opportunities for add-on sales." The clipper display holds retailers' choice of 64 Homemade-In-Minutes soup mixes. "Consumers like the idea of creating healthy meal kits with our mixes be- cause they contain no added salt and are free from any additives or preserva- tives. For the display, we suggest retail- ers choose a variety of soup mixes such as our top selling South of the Border Tortilla Soup Mix and Arizona Sunset Enchilada Soup Mix. Those flavor profiles are con- sumer favorites along with comfort food classics, such as the gluten-free Connecticut Cottage Chicken Noodle Soup Mix and Mis- sissippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup Mix," said Jon Anderson, company co-Owner. "Our West Coast Kale and Quinoa Vegetable Soup Mix also is popular with consumers who want to add ancient grains and superfoods to their diets." The display is 10 inches in diameter and 66 inches high, and it may be used as a standalone or end-cap display. Frontier Soups also has a stand- alone shipper display for its Hearty Meals™ line, which holds 48 gluten- free soup mixes and includes the com- pany's top-selling Illinois Prairie Corn Chowder Mix, Colorado Campfire Chicken Stew Mix, Indiana Harvest Sausage Lentil Mix and Minnesota Heartland 11 Bean Soup Mix.
