Almonds for Food Bars
Talk about a healthy category! Not only are food bars taking the marketplace by storm, but bars with almonds showed a 10% jump in sales at grocery stores in the last two years. In fact, three of the Top 10 Health & Energy bar products contain almonds, and all three grew at least 20% in 2010. Why? Beyond crunch and flavor, almonds have a visual appeal and the health benefits consumers seek.
