welchs-fruit-snacks-300We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.

Apples and autumn go hand-in-hand so it is not surprising that new to the market are two apple inspired products.

Welch’s Apple Orchard Medley Fruit Snacks is one of 10 fruit snack varieties. Orchard Medley Fruit Snacks are gummy fruit treats that represent Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious apples along with pears and apricots. They are available in single serve 0.9-ounce bags, 2.25-ounce bags or 25.5-ounce bags. One serving (1-ounce) has 90 calories, 12 grams of sugar, 1 gram of protein and 100% (60 milligrams) of your daily need for vitamin C, 25% (1,000 IUs) of vitamin A, 25% (8 IUs) of vitamin E and 10 milligrams of sodium. Fruit Snacks contain no preservatives and are gluten free.

sparkling-ice-300Sparkling Ice Crisp Apple is a slightly effervescent, zero calorie, apple-flavored drink. It comes in a 17-ounce bottle and has 10% of your daily need for vitamin D plus five vitamins from the B-complex family. Crisp Apple is sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) and contains green tea extract but is caffeine free. It is kosher certified (OU).
