Who doesn’t love cranberries?

I think it doesn’t get enough attention. Sure every Holiday Season we all make sure it’s on our tables, but the rest of the year, it’s a wonder if we get as much as we should. Yes, even this writer doesn’t have enough of it and maybe gets a splash of the good stuff with his Vodka every now and then, but now there are two new reasons to have more!

Fruit Essentials, a Wisconsin food technology company, is introducing Forti-Fruit™ fortified cranberries and Omega-Mix™ trail mix as a healthier and more nutritious option to satisfy our snack cravings.

Sweetened with natural fruit juices instead of refined sugars, every ounce of Forti-Fruit is fortified with antioxidants and over 1 gram of healthy omega fatty acids (Omega 3, 6 and 9).

“Dried cranberries and unsalted nuts are an easy and health-beneficial alternative to other processed snack foods,” according to Ralph Pullmann, president and CEO of Fruit Essentials. “Busy families don’t have a lot of time to search food labels for hidden sugars and fats, so Fruit Essentials created Forti-Fruit and Omega-Mix to make it easier for active kids and adults to fit better nutrition into their diet and busy lifestyle.”

Using these fortified cranberries, Fruit Essentials Omega-Mix takes the classic trail mix to a whole new level, by packing 8 grams of a balanced ratio of Omega 3-6-9 essential fatty acids into every ounce. They start with only nuts that have a sufficient amount of antioxidants and healthy fats. These raw nuts are minimally processed and have no salt. The mix does not use the candy found in many trail mixes, instead, Forti-Fruit juice-sweetened cranberries are used to complete the mix’s flavor profile.

Fruit Essentials has a whole line of products that harness the health benefits of all parts of the cranberry and amplify it with a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids. Other products include the N’Mia™ Cranberry & Olive Oil Blend, Cranberry Women’s Formula Supplement and Cranberry Seed Oil, which comes in both liquid and softgel forms.
