In recognition of May being Mediterranean Diet month, Mediterra grows its Mediterranean Diet-inspired namesake nutrition bar line with two savory offerings. The Mediterranean Diet has been studied and noted by scores of leading scientists as one of the healthiest lifestyles in the world. It emphasizes eating more whole grains, fruits, greens and healthy fats. All Mediterra bars are non-GMO and gluten-free and feature ingredients native to the Mediterranean region.
The new savory varieties are: Black Olives & Walnuts with chives and Sundried Tomato & Basil with capers. They are rich in vegetable content, as they start with a base of pea crisps. Inclusion of amaranth puffs makes them a source of whole grains and fiber. The latter gets a boost from the addition of chicory inulin. Each savory bar is 1.4 oz. and contains 6g of protein and fiber. They are certified kosher and dairy-free. The savory varieties join two Sesame Energy Bars, which come in Orange & Honey and Pistachio & Honey varieties, and two Yogurt & Oat Bars in Apricot & Pistachio and Cherry & Pistachio varieties.
