Because this fruit represents our very own Washington State, we’re eager to highlight them this month! In this ingredient highlight, we’ll talk about the A’s, B’s, and C’s of apples and why we’re particularly crazy about them here in Washington State.
Ingredient Highlight: Sea Salt
November 14, 2016 by
Salt has a pretty bad reputation. The American Heart Association has warned people against too much consumption because it is known to raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other fatal illnesses. However, not all salt is bad for you, just table salt. In fact, research has shown that sea salt, also known as or natural salt, has a number of health benefits. When natural salt is processed into table salt, it is heated up to 1200° Fahrenheit, completely altering the chemical composition and destroying all nutritional benefits. This is the kind of salt that the American Heart Association warns us about, but it is not the kind of salt that we use here at BumbleBar.
Ingredient Highlight: Cocoa
November 2, 2016 by
Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Mint, and of course Chocolate Crisp (now on sale!) BumbleBars all contain delicious rich cocoa! Even our JunoBar recipes, like Brownie Batter, include bittersweet cocoa. Did you know that cocoa is not actually brown in color when it’s first grown? It’s actually has a very bright white hue and looks nothing like your average piece of chocolate.. Take a quick peek at the infographic below to see what you’ve really been snacking on!
Seed to Feed
March 30, 2016 by
Ever hear of the seed-to-feed movement? Actually, I just made it up this morning to describe some of what we do. I bet you did not know that we grind our own seed and nut butters to put in the gluten free cookies and bars we make! Each small batch is made fresh.
Check out the humble yet nutrient-dense sunflower seeds we use in our handcrafted seed butter for the clean label food we make for our co-packing clients. First, we start with super fresh delicious raw unsalted sunflower seeds. Then, we mill them in our floor standing food processor. Next, we cool the sunflower butter on trays to maintain its’ freshness. Finally, we make delicious, simple clean food with our premium sunflower seed butter!
