Product Description
Our FruitChia Apricot Blast bar marries the sweetness of deep orange Pacific Northwest apricots and the sweet-tart of Pacific Northwest apple varieties with the mildly nutty flavor of chia seeds.Thousands of years ago, the chia seed was a staple in the diets of ancient Mayans and Aztecs. The word chia is derived from the Mayan language, meaning "strength," and Aztec warriors relied on chia seed to boost energy and increase stamina. Today this tiny seed is a favorite of athletes, especially distance runners, who tout it as an endurance enhancing super food.
Apricots are excellent sources of vitamin A, and carotenes. Both of these compounds are known to have antioxidant properties and are essential for vision. Apricots are rich in zea-xanthin, a carotenoid selectively absorbed into the retinal “macula lutea” in the eyes where it is thought to provide anti-oxidant and protective light-filtering functions helping to protect our eyes from age-related macular disease.
Apple's naturally occurring nutrients include vitamin C, antioxidants and insoluble and soluble fiber to aid in digestion and prevent cholesterol build up.
