Nutritious Mixed-Seed Bars

The following is a sponsored product review and is of my own opinion and is not influenced by being paid. If you’re interested in having me review your product, please view my advertising page.

Introduction
Eating healthily is something that is slowly becoming the trendy thing.  Moving away from eating vast quantities of fast food and ready-made meals is opening up the market for natural products that are both tasty and nutritious.  Wholebake is a small firm based in North Wales that has been running for close to twenty years producing the most popular mixed seed bar on the aisles of major retailers around the UK.

Products
All the products produced by Wholebake are just what is requested by the customer: nutritious, healthy and made using only natural ingredients.  Each seed bar is vegetarian as well as being gluten, dairy and wheat free in order to make the products available for everybody.

The 9bar comes in four flavours: Original, Nutty, Flax and Pumpkin.  The original flavour (pictured right) is what was tasted for this review.  Having received the pack of bars I was taken aback on seeing that they contained hemp seed.  My understanding was that hemp was another word for marijuana and this bar contained the drug.

After a little research, I quickly understood that although it is produced from the same plant – it is in-fact different parts of the plant that is used to develop marijuana along with a different growing process along with different processing methods.  Once I had gotten over my initial worries, I went ahead and went for the major test – the taste test.

Taste Test
The initial bite was different to what I was expecting (I have only just begun trying healthy foods), but the bar tasted great.  The original bar contains the following ingredients:

Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Carob topping, Honey, Raw cane sugar, All vegetable margarine, De-hulled hemp seeds (3%), Sesame seeds, Poppy seeds.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first bar (having received three for the purpose of the review) and I am saving the other two to take with me to work next week.  Although I enjoyed the taste of the bar, I’m not sure that is something I would purchase from a supermarket.  If you are somebody who is wanting to eat foods that are both tasty and full of healthy, natural products I would recommend giving them a try.
