NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n SEPTEMBER 2017 n GOURMET NEWS N H 1 2 6 with the most beneficial omega-3s, EPA and DHA, from deep, cold-water fish. It's mild, smooth and comes in four flavors: natural, lemon, garlic and basil. It's never been easier to add healthy heart nutrients into your diet. Extra virgin olive oil from high-quality olives naturally contains important antioxi- dants, called polyphenols. Like other antiox- idants, polyphenols help fight oxidative stress and promote a healthy inflammatory response. The company recommends 1 table- spoon of Olive your Heart per day for opti- mal nutritional benefits. Olive your Heart starts with Quality Terra Creta Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Terra Creta olive oil is derived from ancient olive trees in the Kolymvari region of western Crete, Greece. The family-owned trees are culti- vated with a long tradition and passion, en- vironmental awareness and scientific support by Cretan farmers. Every single bottle of Terra Creta extra virgin olive oil must meet four strict quality measures: healthy attrib- utes – it must be low in acidity and have a significant amount of polyphenols, vitamin E and other beneficial elements; organoleptic evaluation (taste-flavor) – it must have organoleptic properties well above accepted average levels in each category; contami- nant-free – every batch of olive oil is ana- lyzed for undesirable elements to ensure they exceed international standards and have guaranteed consistency; and special analysis – the olive oil undergoes further analysis re- quired by the International Olive Oil Council and the United States. Each serving of Olive your Heart also of- fers a healthy dose of the important omega- 3s EPA and DHA. The American Heart Association suggests we eat at least two 3.5- ounce servings of salmon or other oily fish per week in order to receive the recom- mended intake of omega-3s. Since most Americans don't get this amount from diet alone, Olive your Heart can be a smart and delicious option. Carlson Olive your Heart also naturally provides omega-9 oleic acid (a staple of the Mediterranean diet). Omega-9 supports a healthy inflammatory response, and pro- motes immune and cardiovascular system health. When our body has enough omega- 3s and omega-6, it can produce omega-9. However, if we don't have enough omega- 3s and omega-6, then we must get omega-9 from our diet. For a delicious, premium olive oil that packs the powerful punch of polyphenols and sneaks in the health benefits of omega-3s and omega-9, choose Carlson Olive your Heart.

The Conger family, based in Fitzgerald, Georgia, the heart of peanut country, has long espoused the benefits of peanuts as a nutritional food source, having been in the peanut business for more than 40 years. The Congers founded Protein Plus, LLC in 2008 after selling their company American Blanching, which is a leader in the production of peanut butter for many na- tional brands. Allen Conger Jr., President of Protein Plus, LLC, said, "We started Protein Plus to create peanut-based products that are healthy and taste good. Peanuts are high in protein, rich in vitamins and minerals, and are natu- rally cholesterol and gluten free. They add a nutritional boost as well as great flavor when used as an ingredient in cooking or baking, mixed or sprinkled on prepared foods or con- sumed as a protein drink." Today, Protein Plus is a producer of top quality powdered peanut butter, defatted peanut flour, premium roasted aromatic peanut oil and Protein Energy Power ® , a great tasting, all natural peanut protein pow- der drink. Its powdered peanut butter is used as the core ingredient of several leading powdered peanut butter brands. Consumers can purchase Protein Plus peanut flour in 16 ounce and 32 ounce pack- ages, while food and confectionery providers can purchase 12 percent and 28 percent fat, light and dark roast flour offered in 25-pound vacuum packed boxes, 50-pound paper bags and 1,600-pound super sacks. Protein Energy Power can be mixed in 8 ounces of water or milk for a great tasting snack or meal replacement. It contains 17 grams of protein per serving, is high in fiber, low in sodium and is cholesterol free. It also contains 25 essential vitamins and minerals, as well as a probiotic blend to aid with diges- tion. It is genetically modified organism (GMO) free and contains no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no artificial sweet- eners. Protein Energy Power comes in four flavors, including original, chocolate, honey and banana, and is currently available in 1.81/1.85 pound containers offering 20 serv- ings, or 1.44/1.48 ounce single serve packets. Harold Conger, Vice President of Sales for Protein Plus, added, "We are very pleased with the enthusiasm we continue to receive from the food, confectionery and health and fitness industries. It's no longer just bodybuilders scooping peanut butter into their protein drinks to improve the taste. Every day more and more health-conscious individuals are recognizing peanuts as a great tasting plant-based protein that has many different nutritional applications like meal replacement, part of a weight loss program or breakfast drink to start the day."
