GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com n JUNE 2018 n GOURMET NEWS 9 4 Three B17-Infused Products from Apricot Power Apricot Power has been selling B17 and B17- related products for over 19 years. The com- pany has made it its mission to help get B17 "back into every body." Its wholefood prod- ucts, SuperFood Mix, seed caps and exclusive AP skin care line are products the company innovated to support that mission. Here are three of its latest B17-infused products: ApriSweet Dark Chocolate Bars Apricot Power's new 2.5 ounce, B17-en- hanced ApriSweet Dark Chocolate bars are infused with up to 10 finely ground, bitter, raw California-grown apricot seeds. Each bar has approximately 250mg of B17 in it or up to 14mg per piece. Thanks to an ingen- ious and exclusive food profile, you'll taste rich, smooth, dark chocolate without any bit- terness from the seeds. ApriSweet Dark Chocolate is made using 60 percent smooth dark cacao. The company uses only 100 percent certified organic, fair- trade cacao beans for its dark chocolate. There's no need to worry about any allergens in this bar; no dairy, soy, gluten or nuts. In- stead of sugar, the company uses organic Stevia so ApriSweet is completely safe for diabetics. Plus, it uses 100 percent natural and organic ingredients, so it's vegan. Two other unique ingredients set it apart from other chocolate. A safe and natural en- zyme inhibiter has been added to help block the absorption and diges- tion of sugar and starch, as well as prevent spikes in blood glucose levels. Spe- cial fat-binding complexes from soluble plant fibers bind the tails of fatty acids so your body's enzymes can't grip or digest them. This holds the fat in the chocolate. You get the smooth, creamy taste of the fat, but it's not absorbed in your digestive system. All of this adds up to one thing: net zero calories from carbs and fat. ApriSweet is sold individually or in a 10- pack display box. B17-Infused, Anti-Aging AP Skin Care Line Apricot Power has added four new products to its exclusive line of B17-infused AP skin care products. Its Anti-Aging Sunblock, Anti- Aging Lip Scrub, Anti-Aging Lip and Cheek Rescue and Anti-Aging Facial Scrub are available and ready to ship. The AP line is handmade using organic, natural and wild- harvested ingredients. They all work very well on their own, but together they deliver a complete, unique anti-aging skin care solution like no other. The entire line is available in an AP Skin Care Pack that comes packaged in a customized, zippered, lined cosmetics bag. Apricot Seed Meal The latest innovation from Apricot Power to "get B17 back into every body" is its Apricot Seed Meal. Made from the company's own bitter, raw, California-grown apricot seeds, this convenient product is ready to add to your favorite hot beverages, smoothies, baked goods and other food items. Available in a sealed 6.5-ounce deli-style container. Deliciously Authentic Flavor from Loma Linda Blue There's something about the concept of pro- tein-rich food bowls that brings out the best in our appetites. A hearty, steaming hot bowl – whether a sunny Mediterranean pasta, a comforting American stew or a spicy Asian curry – promises abundant flavors, an invit- ing variety of textures and a nourishing, sat- isfying balance of complete vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins. Unfortunately, because food bowls are traditionally made with beef or chicken stock bases and almost always include meat, they've often been off- limits to vegetarians and vegans. Over the last decade, as national culinary tastes have become more adventurous and schedules have become more demanding, At- lantic Natural Foods has responded with its signature innovation and creativity. Its new Loma Linda ® Blue line features shelf-stable, ready to heat-and-eat pouches of vegan- friendly international bowl-style meals, made with clean, plant protein, and 100 percent non-GMO ingredients from around the world. These Loma Linda Blue pouches are not only deliciously satisfying, they're mi- crowaveable and ready to eat in just 60 sec- onds. (They can also be made on the stovetop – just boil the unopened pouch in water for five minutes – perfect for camp- ing!) Available in 10 varieties – everything from exotic Thai Curry and Tikka Masala to ele- gant Italian Bolognese and Mediterranean Tomato & Olive, to the down-home comfort of good old American Hearty Stew – each recipe is made with an ir- resistible, nourishing balance of pasta or grain and vegetables, tossed in an au- thentically seasoned, flavor-forward sauce, and topped off with a signature plant-based meat alternative protein as the star of the dish. Because they're shelf-stable, they're easy to keep on hand and even easier to take with you on-the-go. They're perfect for everyone from busy families, hikers and college students to people looking for healthy, convenient and delicious meat-free lunches at the office. Whether the diet they're fol- lowing is vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian, people are cutting back on meat for a myriad of rea- sons – from dietary and health considerations, to personal phi- losophy, to environmental and budgetary concerns. As more and more consumers look for healthy, deliciously satisfying and convenient vegan-friendly meals made with simple ingredients, Loma Linda is proud to be at the forefront of the plant-based food revolution.
