mtewnjawlmpwzw-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.

Absolutely Gluten-Free released Absolutely Organic Superseed Crunch in August which extends their line of gluten free foods. Superseed Crunch is bite-sized, crunchy snack squares which are lightly sweetened and made of sesame, flax and chia seeds. The snack is USDA Organic, Certified Gluten Free, and kosher certified (OU). The Superseed Crunch also carries the Naturally Better With You In Mind symbol.

It is available in three flavors – Original, Toasted Coconut, and Cinnamon. One serving of any flavor equals a half cup with 140 calories, 9 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein, 14 grams of carb (8 of which are sugar and 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of fiber in Toasted Coconut) and 5 milligrams of sodium.

Bakery On Mainbom_bunchocrunches_group300dpi-300 has as its core mission to produce good tasting gluten-free foods. We have highlighted this brand in the past.  New to the brand is Bunches Of Crunches, a grain-based snack, aimed at kids, made with gluten free oats, amaranth and millet which the brand calls superfood grainola.

Bunches of Crunches is available in two flavors – Coconut Cacao and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt With Chia. They are crunchy grain nuggets with tastes that will appeal to kids and adults alike. One serving, ½ cup, has 130 calories, 2 grams of protein, 8 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of fiber. Coconut Cacao has 35 milligrams of sodium and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt has 170 milligrams. Both flavors are Certified Gluten-Free, NonGMO Project Verified and kosher certified (OU).

We shared these samples with some preteen boys who gobbled down the snacks, a pretty good endorsement.
