If there is one thing I am grateful for, it is that Miss Grace LOVES Loves her fruits and veggies, and wants to take raisins for school snack every day!
Did you know that raisins not only fuel hungry brains and keep the learning wheels turning in school, but have also served as amazing energy sources to power entire armies! Yup- History Corner time (aha- why this post is on Thursday!)- around 218 BC, one of the greatest military leaders in history (Carthaginian commander Hannibal) led massive troops over the Alps, fueled by none other than raisins! AHA!
. Multiple Organics celebrates the power-packed constitution of Mother Nature’s nutritious little dynamos through ensuring that only the highest quality raisins factor into the health equation. Raisins are antioxidant-filled stewards of essential nutrients like iron, potassium, calcium, and B vitamins. And Multiple Organics’Thompson seedless raisins earn an A+ when it comes to being fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium. They even contain boron, a mineral critical to bone health, Studies also show that the oleanic acid found in raisins helps to promote dental well-being, so eaters can let their chompers indulge in the mouthwatering bursts of deliciousness that these tiny fruit specimens inevitably spark. You see, Mom did know a thing or tow, when she kept trying to get you to eat your raisins!
Multiple Organics’Thompson seedless raisins really do look like this picture above- all yummy goodness- they are all natural and grown at home in the USA right under the California sun, and lightly coated in organic sunflower oil. They are also certified organic, Kosher, and non-GMO, so they are SAFE for your kids to eat. And thanks to the company’s food safety program, MOST (Multiple Organics Safety and Testing) they are well screened and inspected BEFORE they reach your table! After careful screenings and personal visits to supplier grounds, each lot of food is sent to an independent lab for the testing of harmful pathogens, radiation, and even random inspections for heavy metals and pesticide residue,before it enters their production line! You have to love that type of commitment! Founder and CEO Dave Lanstein says, “We feel it is our duty to provide only the cleanest and purest foods so that high-quality becomes the standard. For us, it always will be.”
I have to tell you. these are the SWEETEST raisins I have ever tasted! They taste like they were just picked and dried and sent straight to you- they are just that GOOD. They are so good, they make me want to head on out and find other Multiple Organics foods to try! And Miss Grace? She has chowed down on them for school snack and after-school snack! I also noted she ate less of them, than our typical raisin brand, and seemed more satisfied with them- probably due to their sweetness!
