FAQ

Why eat organic whole grains, nuts and fruit?

Pure Bliss Organics creates a variety of unique products from a few simple and nutritious ingredients - chiefly organic whole grains, nuts and dried fruits. These core ingredients are nutrient-rich sources of B and E vitamins; minerals like iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium; and dietary fiber.  Nuts and seeds also contain high-quality, heart-healthy fat.  Including plenty of nuts and whole grains in your diet will satisfy your appetite, and studies suggest they may help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.

 

As our name implies, Pure Bliss Organics chooses to use exclusively organic ingredients, and each product we offer proudly carries the USDA Organic seal.  The green-and-white USDA Organic seal indicates our company meets rigorous federal standards for organic food production.  This means that when when you enjoy Pure Bliss Organics products, you’re getting all the nutritional benefits of our wholesome ingredients without consuming synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, artificial food additives or genetically modified organisms (GMO’s). We also use organic ingredients because we believe they  taste better!  Compared to conventional growers, organic farmers tend to have relatively small yields, which means organic crops tend to be cultivated with greater care and attention.  We can tell the organic difference, and we think you will, too!

 

We also choose to be an exclusively organic company because we care about the environment.  The use of chemical pesticides in non-organic farming disrupts ecosystems by killing off insects and other creatures. Over time, organisms can develop tolerance for pesticides, and heavy use threatens to disrupt the natural process of evolution. Pesticides also threaten to leach into groundwater, soil, and the air, meaning they have the potential to spread far from their intended concentration. Organic farming practice offers a sustainable alternative that is healthier for people and for the planet. For crops to be certified organic, they must be cultivated in soil that has been free of prohibited pesticides for a minimum of three years.  For more information on organics, visit the following Web sites:

Are Pure Bliss Organics products gluten free?

Pure Bliss Organics does offer a number of gluten free products, but not all our products are officially gluten free.

 

With the exception of Blissful Trails, our organic Gourmet Nuts ARE gluten free.  In the near future, we plan to introduce two new gluten free Energy Bars & Energy Bites.


At this time, our organic Granola and organic Energy Bars & Energy Bites ARE NOT officially gluten free.  The reason for this is that these products contain organic oats, which are commonly grown and processed alongside wheat.  Consequentially, it’s possible that trace amounts of wheat gluten may occasionally spread to the organic oats used in our production.  Since even a small incident of cross-contamination may sicken a person with extreme gluten sensitivity, we recommend such individuals avoid these products.  Those customers who simply wish to cut the gluten out of their diet should enjoy our products, as no wheat is used in anything we make.ure

What gives the Energy Bars & Energy Bites

Just natural goodness!  Unlike many other bars, Pure Bliss Organics Energy Bars & Energy Bites contain no artificial sweeteners or nutritional supplements.  All the energy you get from our bars comes from all-natural, certified organic whole grains, fruits and nuts.  Our Energy Bars & Energy Bites are also relatively low in sugar; with the EXCEPTION of Mocha Java, all are sweetened with low-glycemic alternative sweeteners (primarily brown rice syrup) rather than cane sugar. The lasting energy you get from our Energy Bars & Bites comes from healthy protein and carbohydrates, not a short-term sugar rush.  Whether you’re an athlete, busy professional, or parent looking for a healthy snack for your kids, our Energy Bars & Energy Bites provide a convenient, nutritious and great-tasting source of lasting energy.  

Why are Pure Bliss Organics products high in calories?

First, remember that “calorie” is not necessarily a bad word!  Calories are simply units of energy, and the number of calories each person should consume daily is a function of several factors, including age and level of physical activity.  Moreover, not all calories are created equal.  It’s important to look beyond the simple number of calories you eat and consider what kind of calories you’re consuming.  Pure Bliss Organics products come from simple, certified organic ingredients only.  These healthy calories contribute to a balanced diet, especially when you consider mounting research evidence of the health benefits of nuts and the USDA's recommendation that you "make at least half your grains whole grains."

Which Pure Bliss Organics products are highest in protein?

Pure Bliss Organics does not add protein supplement to any product.  Nevertheless, many of our products are rich in natural protein, which is mainly derived from the organic nuts or house-ground nut butters we use in our recipes. 

 

Most of our organic Gourmet Nuts contain 4-5 grams of protein per serving.  In the organic Energy Bars & Energy Bites category, Naughty But Nice is the highest protein product, with 4 grams per serving.  Naughty But Nice is also the highest-protein product in the organic Granola category, with 7 grams per serving.  Old School pulls a close second with 6 grams. 

Which Pure Bliss Organics products are lowest in sugar?

While we strive to not make anything too sweet, some Pure Bliss Organics products contain less sugar than others.  If you’re cutting back the sugar in your diet, we recommend these products:

 

Organic Granola: Gingerbread Flax, No Sugar Buzz and Old School contain no added cane sugar; they are sweetened with agave nectar and molasses.

 

Organic Energy Bars & Energy Bites: Acai Coconut, Lemon Cranberry and Naughty But Nice contain no added cane sugar; they are sweetened primarily with brown rice syrup.  Naughty But Nice is the lowest-sugar product among our Energy Bars & Energy Bites; it is sweetened with brown rice syrup and agave nectar and contains 5 grams of sugar per serving.  

 

Organic Gourmet Nuts: A Hot Mess and Fired Up Nuts contain no added sugar or sweetener.
