rawtidbitsAs some of you might know, I don’t own a dehydrator and thus never had the chance of trying an extensive array of raw dehydrated treats. I went down to the health food store to get my cat some cranberry extract when I saw lil’ darlings:

1) Biosphere’s raw chocolate cookies

Ingredients: organic cashews, organic raisins, raw cocoa nibs and organic peppermint

About 8-10 pieces for CAD$4 ++

2) Sunza’s Raw Kale Buckwheat Crackers

Ingredients: Sprouted organic buckwheat, organic brown flax seeds organic kale, organic oregano, organic extra virgin olive oil, Himalayan salt crystals

3 crackers for CAD$3.75

Both are locally handcrafted, therefore  they are fresh and taste amazing!

The raw chocolate cookies taste like a crisper version of my chocolate/carob mint bars.

rawtidbits2Judging from the ingredients, I would guess these babies are really easy to replicate if you have a dehydrator but it is sure worth the price tag for the time and effort that went into making them. Really delightful.

At the back of the label, Sunza lists the potential health benefits of the grain fruit, buckwheat:

  • high quality of rutin (bioflavonoid) not found in other grains or beans
  • contains choline (vitamin B compound)
  • the only significant source of vitamin P
  • enhances immune system
  • helps fight free radicals
  • supports circulatory system
  • effective for poor circulation, high blood pressure, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, etc.
  • helps lower cholesterol
  • increases absorption of vitamin C
  • improve liver functioning
  • helps prevent accumulation of body fat
  • stimulates the intestines
  • slows aging process

Pretty much spells AWESOMENESS. :) Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
