(Apr 1, 2008) Green Living investigative writer Graeme Stemp-Morlock visited the Guelph Organic Festival and found the best in organic snacks.

There was a time not that long ago when I dreaded visiting the health food stores. I’ve got nothing against organic face moisturizers but I usually wanted something I could really sink my teeth into -- literally -- that didn’t taste like cardboard. Well, the days of slim organic pickings are over.

Long tradition of organic
The Guelph Organics Festival celebrated its 27th anniversary this year with more than 75 exhibitors showing off their latest farming methods as well as offering samples of delicious green goodies.

Jams and jellies
... Around the corner was GoBIO! - an irresistible booth for me, a mere mortal greenie, powerless against the call of the organic gummy bears. That’s right -- organic gummy bears -- sweetened with organic cane juice and flavoured with caffeine-free organic fruit.

The company also offers fruit jelly mixes and puddings that are gluten-free and vegetarian. The chocolate pudding was especially tasty.

Chocolate to go green over
GoBio! is also the distributor for Vivani organic chocolate. Now, being a card carrying chocoholic with a conscience and discriminating taste buds, I have sought out the best organic Fair Trade chocolates for years. Vivani is the best. Four Times Gold Medal 2006 winner for the best selling organic chocolate with all Fair Trade and organic ingredients.

In the name of research, I tried several flavours. The Ecuador Chili was by far the best bar among the bunch. How can something this sweet, rich and spicy be bad? For tamer taste buds, check out their orange or lemon flavored chocolate bars.

Anke Kruse Launches New GoBIO Organic Product Line

Anke Kruse has recently announced the launch of a new product line called GoBIO!, short for Go Biologique! – Go Organic! Only certified organic products will be marketed under the GoBIO! name.

GoBIO! products might be new on the shelves of your local food store, but the new line was created by Anke Kruse, former President of Anke Kruse Organics Inc., and a true pioneer in the Canadian organic food industry with over 20 years of experience.

"We are very passionate about Organics and take pride in offering you only the highest quality organic products. We are always looking for unique products that fill a niche in the organic market and offer consumers new options. Watch out for more GoBIO! products in the near future. Our guarantee to you: You hear GoBIO! - you know it's Organic," says Anke.

The GoBIO! line includes exciting products like Certified Organic Gelatine, something many organic chefs and bakers will be happy to see, as it wasn’t readily available before. As well, their line of delicious organic desserts cater to a variety of diets, such as sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, fat-free, low-calorie and vegan. These include: Organic Pudding Mixes, Organic Chocolate Mousse, Organic Vanilla Mousse, Organic Vanilla Custard, Organic Cherry Jelly Powder and Organic Lemon Jelly Powder. Yummy snacks such as Organic Gummy Bears, loaded with organic fruit juices, are available in three different varieties: organic gelatine, vegetarian Gum Arabic, or the unique caffeine-free Cola Bears made with organic Cola flavouring.

GoBIO! Products are available in stores now and online at www.gobiofood.ca. For more info or wholesale inquiries please view the website at www.anke.ca, call 519-853-2958 or email info@anke.ca.

Visit Anke Kruse and try out some of the new GioBIO! products at Whole Life Expo, where she will be sampling and sellling them at the Organic Horizons booth (51).
