SAFE SNACKING – BACK TO SCHOOL TREATS

August 8, 2018 by Gerbs Eating Well Blog Leave a Comment

SAFE SNACKING - ALLERGY FRIENDLY GERBS

 

 

SAFE SNACKING – BACK TO SCHOOL TREATS

Yep, it’s that time again. Back to school. As our readers already know, many of the allergy friendly foods here at Gerbs are suitable for snacking…….Dried Fruits, Seeds, Seed Mixes, and even the Granolas make excellent snacks. But were you aware that there is also a Healthy Snacks category? We’d like to highlight two in particular, as snack treats because they both contain dark chocolate. They are allergy friendly safe, Gluten-free AND delicious.

Our allergy friendly snacks have crunch in them because crunch is actually important.

The sound of crunchy food is as important when it comes to how much people enjoy eating as color and taste is, scientists say. Scientists at the University of Leeds found that people’s ‘enjoyment of biting’ increased with louder, crunchier foods. We also associate crunch with freshness.

Is snacking helpful? For many adults and children, the long hours between meals may be difficult. Snacks are important for the energy and nutrients needed throughout the day. For children who are active and growing, snacks also give them the energy they require to grow and play. Snacks actually help keep you from getting hungry and overeating at mealtime. First up.


CRUNCHY MONKEY SNACK MIX

As the name suggests, there are indeed bananas in this yummy snack. And not just any bananas. These are snappy little bites bursting with flavor and without added sugar. Unsulphured and they contain no added preservatives or nitrates.

Safe Snacks for Kids - Gerbs Crunchy Monkey

So what else is in Crunchy Monkey? Roasted sunflower seed kernels, dried banana chips, dark chocolate chips (evaporated cane juice, natural chocolate liquor, non-dairy cocoa butter), and roasted pumpkin seed kernels. No added salt. The dark chocolate is Gluten-free!

  • Sunflower seed kernels are high in polyunsaturated fats – specifically, linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid also known as Omega-6. This fat is considered “essential” because our bodies cannot synthesize it, we must get it from food sources. This healthful fat helps keep our heart healthy, cholesterol levels in check and contributes to healthy skin and hair.
  • Pumpkin seed kernels are of the best, most alkaline sources of nutrition you can eat. Pumpkin seeds are incredibly high in iron and magnesium, and contain a larger amount of protein than chia or flax per ounce, boasting a total of 5 grams per ounce. They’re also rich in B vitamins They even contain high amounts of anxiety-relieving trytophan, an essential amino acid, which helps improve serotonin levels. most helpful for school stress!

SWEET & SALTY SNACK MIX

This is safe snacking satisfaction on so many levels we can’t even begin to tell you. It usually produces a smile. Gluten free, Vegan and Kosher, this is a mix of dark chocolate, plain Gluten Free Bagel Chips, Pumpkin Seeds and Sunflower Seeds, and some Sea Salt. Nothing phony and no baloney.

Allergy Friendly Snacks - Gerbs Sweet & Salty Snack Mix

All of our raw snack ingredients are processed, packaged, handled, stored, and shipped by trained staff in our family owned & operated facility in Johnston, Rhode Island on dedicated non-GMO, Vegan, and Kosher Equipment. No Co-packers. No Co-manufacturers. For anyone with a mild to severe food allergy or a family with one, we wish to assure you that this is why Gerbs handles all aspects of production & operation, and we are among a handful of companies in the world who can state this.

Our goal is to give the Allergy Community relief in the battle of living with food allergies.

Take a look at all of our Healthy Snacks. FREE SHIPPING for orders above $59.99! Stock up. School is in session.

5 Reasons to Eat Sunflower Seeds Every Day!

April 15, 2018 by Sennen Conte 4 Comments

5 Reasons to Eat Sunflower Seeds Every Day!When you think of baseball season, you probably don’t think of nutritious foods- hot dogs, cracker jacks, ice cream, beer- there is no shortage of junk food at the ball park. But, there is one healthy, delicious, allergy-friendly food found in most dugouts across the country: sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds became part of major league baseball tradition once we learned that chewing tobacco was unhealthy. Fast forward a few decades and now, sunflower seeds are a favorite of little leaguers, big leaguers and fans everywhere. And, if you’re looking for a healthy snack, sunflower seeds are perfect. So, what is it about these tiny kernels that makes them such a good choice? Here are 5 reasons to eat ‘em every day!

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can protect us from cardiovascular disease and can reduce inflammation linked to many other diseases such as arthritis, cancer and asthma. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E-  a ¼ cup serving provides over 80% of your daily needs.

Portability

Sunflowers are the perfect on-the-go snack! They contain protein, fiber and healthy fats to help you feel full. They don’t require refrigeration and are allergy-friendly. Keep a bag of Gerbs in your car or travel bag for emergency snacking!

Trace Minerals

Trace minerals support many functions in the body. You don’t often hear about these nutrients, but they are incredibly important to your health. Trace minerals are involved in everything from cell function to hormone regulation. Sunflower seeds are a great source of several trace minerals, including copper, manganese, selenium, magnesium and iron.

Versatility

Sunflower seeds can be added to a vast array of dishes. At breakfast, add some to your oatmeal or pancake batter, stir them into a yogurt or on top of a smoothie bowl. For lunch, throw a handful on a green salad or even in a chicken salad. At dinner, use sunflower seeds in place of almonds in green bean almondine.

Fat (the good kind!)

Sunflower seeds are high in polyunsaturated fats- specifically, linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid also known as Omega-6. This fat is considered “essential” because our bodies cannot synthesize it, we must get it from food sources. This healthful fat helps keep our heart healthy, cholesterol levels in check and contributes to healthy skin and hair.

There are many reasons to enjoy sunflower seeds- whether you’re at a ball game or in your office. Check out these fun, healthy recipes, featuring sunflower seeds! And, please tell us…how do you like to eat them?
