The Cincinnati Post: PostScripts, "Nutty Bars"
Know a foodie who loves all kinds of nuts and is devoted to good health and world peace? Even if you don't, try to snack responsibly while being kind to your taste buds; Kind Fruit + Nut Bars are chewy and delicious. The hand-shaped bars by Peaceworks (machine-cutting would make too many nut fragments) are basically nut slices or pieces and chunks of dried fruit. Ten varieties have 150-225 calories each, high on the wholesome scale. After all, a handful of nuts such as almonds and peanuts several times a week may contribute to heart-health.
The award-winning KIND snack bars were just requested by a student group representing various community colleges in Cleveland to be among healthier snacks on campus. Recent numbers for 2005 sales indicate that KIND may be the fastest growing bar in the healthy snack category. Peaceworks Foundation's OneVoice Movement receives 5 percent of profits to help foster peace in the Middle East. Online: www.silentnolonger.org.
KIND nut bars are available in many Greater Cincinnati stores, including Jungle Jim's, Kroger and Wild Oats.
