I can’t believe it’s almost a week since I posted about the Genius bread – I only just finished it, so tomorrow I’ll be trying out some more of Artisan’s bread.
But today, I’m blogging about Eat Natural bars. These are gorgeous and come in no less than eleven different flavors, six of which I would try if I saw them. The ones I wouldn’t bother with contain enough peanuts to be mentioned by name and/or a yogurt coating. Though you will find them in supermarkets and some garage forecourts, it’s unlikely they will stock more than 2 or 3 of them.
They range in price from 60-99p a bar, depending on where you buy them. The ingredients list for the bar in the picture is as follows: almonds 15%, peanuts 15%, glucose syrup, sultanas 13%, brazil nuts 11%, hazelnuts 9%, puffed rice (rice, raw cane sugar), dried apricots 7%, honey.
Underneath the ingredients it says Food sensitivity and allergy advice: Contains nuts (including peanuts). In our makery, we use sesame seeds, soya and cows milk. We can’t be absolutely sure they won’t find their way into this bar.
As you can see, it’s not exactly a “natural” bar, because it contains at least 13% glucose syrup (as ingredients are ordered by quantity in this country). But I don’t care! These bars are so nice, they are definitely worth eating at least occasionally.
This is a list of the different types which I got from their website:
- with…almonds apricots and a yoghurt coating
- with…brazils sultanas almonds and hazelnuts (the one shown here)
- with…macadamias brazils and apricots
- with…blueberries pistachios and a yoghurt coating
- with…dates walnuts and pumpkin seeds
- with…cranberries macadamias and dark chocolate
- with…peanuts almonds and hazelnuts
- with…peanuts cranberries pistachios and milk chocolate
- with…100% organic brazils hazelnuts and sultanas
- with…blackcurrants walnuts mango and dark chocolate
- with…cherries, almonds and a yoghurt coating
A good number of these I’ve never seen on sale…
Anyway, I can recommend these bars. If you see them on sale, jump on them. But remember to check the label. So far as I know, they’re all gluten free, but as it doesn’t emblazon the fact on the front, this may change at any time.
