Crunchies Food Company<br />
Meet the ever-rising demand for gluten<br />
free snacks with Crunchies, the natural<br />
snacks that provide a sweet or savory<br />
crunch without a trace of gluten.<br />
Crunchies Food Company LLC was established<br />
in response to the dearth of<br />
good-tasting yet truly healthy snacks. The<br />
company sought to develop a line of pure<br />
foods that would blend the taste and<br />
crunch of a potato chip, but be completely<br />
free of the preservatives, added sugar,<br />
trans fat and excessive sodium so prevalent<br />
among snack foods.<br />
The result was Crunchies freeze-dried<br />
fruits and vegetables: a breakthrough product<br />
which has proven hugely appealing to<br />
everyone from school children to seniors.<br />
The snacks are produced by placing individually<br />
frozen fruits and veggies in a refrigerated<br />
vacuum chamber that removes up<br />
to 97 percent of moisture. This assures<br />
consumers of a unique crunchy treat that<br />
retains virtually all of its nutrients and enzymes<br />
(unlike conventional heat drying<br />
methods), while still maintaining its shape<br />
and intensifying flavor. Crunchies have no<br />
added sugars, no preservatives, are non-<br />
GMO, vegan, Kosher and Made in the USA.<br />
The brand has fruit, organic and veggie<br />
lines, as well as single-serving Munch<br />
Paks. Seven new veggie items and four<br />
new veggie Munch Paks are set to be introduced<br />
this year.<br />

Euforia cakes: thousand-layer cake goes gluten free<br />
Rarely do I come across gluten free products<br />
that are true standouts and Euforia<br />
cakes are definitely among the select few...<br />
a luxurious gluten free experience.—<br />
MichaelDe Cicco-Butz, Gluten Free Mike<br />
Exotic spice cakes are a Dutch-Indonesian<br />
tradition, often called kue lapis, lapis<br />
legit or spekkoek. Dutch baking techniques<br />
and aromatic Indonesian spices create the<br />
signature texture and flavors. Served on<br />
holidays or as a dessert for the Dutch-Indonesian<br />
feast rijsttafel, it is a great complement<br />
to tea, coffee or wine. A slice of<br />
luxury that happens to be gluten free.<br />
Kartika’s Kitchen, based in Tucson,<br />
Ariz., creates this flourless cake using only<br />
all-natural ingredients: egg, butter, sugar,<br />
milk, spice or vanilla and salt. Available in<br />
three flavors (spice, vanilla and lemon); as<br />
whole cakes roulades (two sizes of each)<br />
or individually-wrapped 1 oz. slices<br />
(12/box). Also check out our cadeau gift<br />
boxes, individually-wrapped slices packaged<br />
with premium organic tea or coffee.<br />
No preservatives are used.<br />
Flavors and fillings can also be customized<br />
to create a gluten free dessert<br />
that is unique to your gourmet store, specialty<br />
tea or coffee bar. For inquiries, visit<br />
