What are Berry Bite Fruit Chews

Berry Bites are a great tasting fruit chew that are designed to supplement the diets of both young people and adults when they are not able to get the recommended 5 to 9 fruit and vegetable servings (based on the newly released USDA Dietary Guidelines 2005). 3 individual Berry Bites provide the same antioxidant power as a serving of fruits and vegetables (an ORAC value of 700).

Did you know that in a recent teen survey, 81% were familiar with the USDA Food Pyramid and 98% believed there is a link between diet and chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease. BUT – a whopping 73% ate less than the recommended 5-13 servings of fruits and vegetables.

Berry Bites, along with other products curently under development in Artemis International's Berries for Life™ division, were designed to help consumers address concerns about their diet. We believe, and market research supports, that consumers are simply asking “I know I don't eat right, can someone help me do better?!” While you want to eat enough fruits and vegetables you cannot overcome the freshness and convenience barriers. That's where Berry Bites can help! On those days when you know you are rushing from one event to another and you are driving through the fast food lane, here is something to supplement your fruit and vegetable intake. Likewise, your kids are not likely to throw away the Berry Bites, unlike that apple you pack for their lunch.
