The Simple Mills Soft-Baked Cookie lineup includes Chocolate Chip, Snicker- doodle, Peanut Butter and Dark Choco- late Toasted Coconut varieties. Each SKU uses an almond flour base, is smartly sweetened with honey and coconut sugar, and is formulated with a handful of other whole-food ingredients. All varieties contain up to 20 percent less sugar content than other soft-baked brands (5-6 grams of sugar per serving compared to as much as 13 in competing soft-baked products). They are also paleo-friendly and contain none of the dextrose, potato starch, xanthan gum, soy lecithin, sodium bicarbonate or am- monium bicarbonate that are common even in "natural" cookies. It's the latest addition to a Simple Mills portfolio that also includes eight baking mixes, six almond flour cracker flavors, four sprouted seed cracker varieties, four crunchy cookies and two frostings.

High in protein and fiber, nutty and with a striking visual appeal, wild rice is one of the healthiest grains available. It was a staple food of several Na- tive American tribes, who called it "manoomin" or "precious grain." Fall River Wild Rice brings this culinary gem to your store shelf. This natu- rally cultivated wild rice is great in salads, soups and stir-fries. However, it also works well in mixes for pancakes and muffins and even in chocolate and desserts. Fall River's Fully Cooked Wild Rice is high-protein goodness in seconds. The only cereal grain native to North America, wild rice is not even a rice at all. It is the seed of Zizania plustris, a tall, blooming water grass that prospers in the Great Lakes region, as well as in the fruitful val- ley in the shadows of the Sierra Nevadas and the Rockies. Fall River Wild Rice is a small grower- owned cooperative in the Fall River Valley, a rural mountain valley nestled between the Cascade and Sierra Ne- vada ranges.
