Sometimes what is old can be brand new again. Uncle Sam cereal, first produced in 1908, looks like a product recently developed to meet current nutrition trends. Made from red winter wheatberries (whole wheat kernels) that are rolled, toasted and flatten and mixed with omega-3-rich flaxseeds, plus a little salt and barley malt (no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives). The cereal is rich in healthy fat and fiber and contains only a trace of sugar.
It is crunchy and holds up well in milk and works as a topping on yogurt or as an added crunch in soup or a salad.
Company legend has it that the founder Lafayette Coltrin was told by his doctor to add flaxseed to his diet. He enjoyed it mixed with whole wheat flakes that he ate for breakfast. He decided to market the combination and Uncle Sam was born. Until recently a profile of a top-hated man adorned the box, which was supposed to be Coltrin who resembled the mythical Uncle Sam, hence the name… … Read More

Jerky is traditionally made from lean meat, trimmed of fat, cut into strips and dried to prevent spoilage. Most varieties are dry and chewy. Perky Jerky is much more moist.
Company legend has it that the founders of the company, after a hard night of partying on energy drink-cocktails, headed out to go skiing the next morning. They grabbed some leftover jerky that had been drenched in spilled energy drink. To their amazement the jerky tasted the same but was less chewy and had taken on some of the boost from the energy drink. And, so Perky Jerky was born… … Read More

Free of sugar, lactose and gluten and they still taste good. Clemmy’s Ice Cream Bars are a very good product at only 70 calories a bar.
Are you wondering, as we did, that Clemmy’s is an odd name for an ice cream company? The company’s founder, Jon Gordon, was diagnosed as prediabetic and loved ice cream. He and his trusted cat Clemmy, worked in his kitchen on batch after batch of sugar free ice cream until he came up with the recipe for the current products. He decided that the company should be named after his cooking buddy, and so Clemmy’s was born… … Read More
