MoreFiber Baking Blend

MoreFiber Stevia Baking Blend can be used to reduce or remove sugar from conventional baking recipes. The dietary supplement contains naturally derived ingredients including: NuStevia, acacia gum, tapioca flour, oat fiber, guar gum, xanthan gum, and maltodextrin. MoreFiber consists of multiple fibers, both soluble and insoluble, and does not contain any soy, yeast, wheat, milk, MSG, artificial colors/flavors, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, or sugars. Since MoreFiber is sweetened with stevia it is very sweet, so for every part of MoreFiber used, the same amount of sugar should be reduced from a recipe. The ingredients in MoreFiber help to improve the texture, shelf life, and overall quality of the baked goods they are used to produce. This product is available in 14.1 oz. containers and 5 lb. bulk bags. SRP for the 14.1 oz. size is $9.99; there are 12 contains/case; no minimum order is required.

On Track Bars

ON TRACK bars are made with mostly California grown sun-dried fruit and nuts and are raw, so are not enriched with added proteins or vitamins. The bars are high in fiber and antioxidants, contain no added sugar or trans-fats, and are a natural source of Vitamins C and E. Shelf Talker: ON TRACK bars are tasty, portable, affordable, and provide sustainable energy. Because ON TRACK is fruit based, the fructose goes to the liver, dissipates at a much slower pace than many energy bars, and provides sustainable energy. Available in peaches and cream, mixed berries, chocolate cherry fudge, strawberry banana, fig raisin, blueberry nut, apple cinnamon, raspberry pomegranate and chocolate banana flavors, SRP is $0.99-$1.25/bar. The bars are packaged 16 bars to a POS; 4 POS to a case, 120 cases to a pallet; minimum order is 2 cases.
