Newman's Own Organics began as a division of Newman's Own in 1993, and was started by Paul Newman's daughter Nell with her business partner, Peter Meehan. Their first product was a line of organic pretzels and they have now expanded to candy, coffee, snacks, cookies, olive oil and vinegar, mints, dried fruit, and pop corn. There is even a separate line of products for dogs and cats.
All proceeds from the products are given to educational and charitable organizations. To date, more than $200 million dollars have been donated. The pureness of Newman's Own Organics is unparallel, as all products are made of ingredients that have been grown on farms free of artificial pesticides and fertilizers for at least three years if not more.
As a reflection of how people are starting to feel about the food they put into their bodies, Newman's Own Organics' slogan was created as: Great tasting products that happen to be organic". All of the food that is part of the product line consists of great tasting snacks that you would have no idea were really good for you. While a lot of organic products sometimes tend to be a little flavorless, or have an opposite consistency from what you're usually used to, Newman's Own Organics have excellent flavor, sometimes even better than your traditional non-organic products.
Newman's takes the food and the tastes that people love, and they turn around and make them with the highest quality ingredients available. Of course, just because it's organic, that doesn't mean you can safely devour an entire package of the cookies- but you definitely will want to!
"Pa" Newman always had a love for pretzels, so it was easy for Nel to decide what the first product would be. A number of varieties are now available including some different types such as Salt and Pepper Thins, Hi-Protein, Spelt, Bavarian Sour Dough and Salted Rounds among others.
The next product line was based on Nel's personal love for chocolate, and the organic chocolate bars were created which are now available in six flavors (Sweet Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Crisp Rice Milk Chocolate, Sweet Dark Espresso, Sweet Dark Orange Chocolate, and Butter Toffee Crunch Milk Chocolate).
The line didn't stop there. Once it was apparent that the line of organic products was going to be successful, the line branched out to include cookies that include fat free, low fat, wheat free, and dairy free options. There are traditional cookies such as the Newman's O's which come in chocolate, vanilla, and ginger. More unique cookies include the Hermits which come in original, ginger, and cinnamon. The cookie is a very soft and chewy consistency and the ginger ones have a very spicy, rich taste to them. They're very good and a favorite of mine.
We all love our sweets, but sometimes you need a little salty in there as well. The new Soy Crisps product is very good, not to mention, good for you. They come in lightly salted, white cheddar, cinnamon sugar, and barbeque. I absolutely love the barbeque variety. They are jammed pack with flavor, and are jam packed with protein. You can feel good about popping a bag of Pop's Corn which comes in butter flavored, light butter, and a variety with no butter and no salt. Each kernel is certified organic, made with organic palm oil and vitamin E to preserve the freshness.
A great and healthy snack to grab when you're going to be on the run is the dried fruit which comes as raisins, prunes and cranberries (This line was started in 2004). You've never tasted dried fruit like this before. Each piece is so flavorful and juicy, you feel like you're eating a real piece of fruit. These varieties come in regular sized bags; some come in mini bags, boxes, zip lock bags, and canisters. You have no excuse for having some of these healthy snacks around to munch on all day long.
I found it's a great idea to mix some of the dried fruit in with some oatmeal for a little variety. That way you get the added sweetness you crave, but it's still very healthy. Start your day of with that, and a cup of Newman's Own Organics' coffee and you're set to have a great day. With flavors such as French Roast, Café Almond Biscotti, and Columbian Especial (As well as the Special Blend and Decaf variety).
Newman's Own Organic products are truly a treat. The prices of the products are very reasonable, so you will be able to stock your cupboard shelves with them and snack on them all day everyday! You'll feel much better based on the quality of the products you are eating. Each and every ingredient that is put into Newman's Own Organics products are pure and organic.
You don't have to worry about where the ingredients came from, what kind of processes they endured during the making of the food, and you will feel confident in giving these products to your family. Newman's Own Organics can be found all over the United States at health food stores and mass retailers.
