Baobab Powder Imported by Baobab Foods Receives National Organic Product (NOP) Certification From USDA

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:17:24 +0000

BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

After months of thorough review of baobab growing and harvesting
practices, Afriplex,
Baobab
Foods’ processing partner in South Africa, earned the prized
National Organic Product (NOP) certification from the USDA. The
certification confirms the status of Baobest™ brand baobab—delivering
140,000 antioxidant ORAC units per 100-gram serving—as an organic food.

“USDA Organic” certification is issued by the organic certifying agency Ecocert
and is fully accredited by the USDA. According to the USDA Web site, the
“National
Organic Program regulates the standards for any farm, wild crop
harvesting, or handling operation that wants to sell an agricultural
product as organically produced.” Baobab fruit grows in the wild, with
fruit pods ripening and drying naturally on the tree. Once dried, the
fruit requires minimal processing—no heat extraction, freeze drying or
pasteurization. The dried fruit is simply milled and sieved into a fine,
edible powder.

Baobab Foods is the exclusive U.S. and Canadian supplier of imported
baobab products from Afriplex, the world’s premier producer. In addition
to selling pure baobab Fruit Powder to food and beverage manufacturers,
Baobab Foods is expanding its own Baobest line of foods, introducing
Baobest Drink Mix and Baobest Fruit Cubes in the second quarter of this
year. This month’s arrival of the container of baobab at the company’s
West Coast warehousing facility gives Baobab Foods the largest stockpile
of baobab in North America.

Growing interest in baobab products and as an ingredient is largely due
to the fruit’s unique nutrient synergy, made possible by the minimal
processing required to prepare the Fruit Powder for consumption. This
nutrient synergy can help lower inflammation, and support a stronger
immune system and healthier digestion.

The baobab superfruit’s unique nutrient properties include:

Antioxidants – 140,000 ORAC units per 100-gram serving, according to
the latest tests by Brunswick Labs.
Fiber – composed of 50% total fiber, of which 75% is soluble fiber.
Calcium – gram for gram, more calcium than milk.
Vitamin C – six times more than orange juice.
Magnesium – one of the highest levels of any fruit.
Iron – more than red meat.
Potassium – more than bananas and sweet potatoes.

“NOP certification is a fantastic testament to the quality and high
standards our Afriplex partner employs to make our Baobest Fruit
Powder,” said Stephan Broburg, general manager of Baobab Foods. “As of
this month, we own more baobab superfruit than any company in the
Western Hemisphere and expect increasing demand to necessitate more
shipments later this year.”

About Baobab Foods

Baobab Foods is dedicated to introducing Americans and Canadians to the
baobab superfruit, dubbed “The Vitamin Tree” by National Geographic
Magazine and “The King of Superfruits” by other national
publications. The company is the exclusive North American importer of
baobab products from Afriplex of South Africa, a leading international
supplier of wellness products and solutions. Baobab Foods markets its
own line of baobab consumer products as well as Baobest Baobab Fruit
Powder to food, beverage and supplement manufacturers for use in their
own product lines. Baobab Foods and the Baobest trademark are the
property of Baobab Foods in the United States and other countries. Learn

Family + Friends + Food + Fitness: Heart-Healthy Habits Add Up

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:19:21 +0000

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Could you be at risk for heart attack? According to physicians of the
Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, protecting your heart boils
down to four fundamentals: family, food, fitness and friends.

Family

Discussing health history with family members may be just as priceless
as a prized heirloom. If you have a family member who had heart disease
at an early age (for example, a mom or sister younger than 65, or a dad
or brother younger than age 55), it’s important to tell your doctor and
get screened for additional risk factors such as cholesterol and blood
pressure. You can’t control age or your family history, but knowing if
you’re at risk can help you maintain control of your life.

Food

It’s never too early or too late to develop heart-healthy food habits.
Try to avoid foods high in fat and cholesterol, and limit the sodium in
your diet. And remember: a heart-healthy diet isn’t about saying no,
it’s about saying yes to nutritious and delicious whole grains, lean
meats, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy.

Fitness

Regular physical activity can help control blood cholesterol, diabetes
and obesity, and may help lower blood pressure. You can exercise in a
fitness facility or as part of your regular routine – such as walking
your dog, gardening or playing with your children or grandchildren. The
important thing is to find something you enjoy and do it regularly.

Friends

A 2007 report by The New England Journal of Medicine suggests
that obesity can spread through social ties. In the study, a person’s
chances of becoming obese were greater if he or she had a friend who
became obese in a given interval.

Fortunately, friends can also have a huge effect on each other’s weight
loss. Instead of inviting a friend out for a 350-calorie latte, catch up
over a brisk walk. Or sign up for a community education fitness class –
you might even make some new friends!

Total Heart Care

Have questions
about heart health? Your doctor can give you a complete checkup as
well as information about appropriate screenings and personalized care
to help you keep it healthy. Request your free heart-healthy
living calendar or visit the Methodist
DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center to learn more.

Signs to Identify Healthy Food Options

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:10:55 +0000

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore officials are unveiling new signs to make it easier for consumers at city markets to identify healthy food options.

On Wednesday, officials will unveil new signs that will make it easier for customers to identify healthy food options when purchasing prepared foods at Lexington Market.

Eventually, officials hope to expand the strategy to more than 100 carryout vendors across Baltimore’s six public markets, which are visited by more than 4.2 million customers annually.

It’s part of the Get Fresh Public Markets initiative, which aims to increase the availability of healthy foods and local produce.

Officials also hope to increase demand through nutrition and fitness activities and coordinate existing health and educational resources in the public markets.

Heart-Healthy Food No. 1

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:18:05 +0000

It’s possible the quote, “Oh boy, oatmeal!” has never been uttered, but anyone looking to eat with their heart in mind should try to say it.Sure, oatmeal gets a bad wrap; you could be eating it on a speed boat and still be bored. But with a little spice, some crunch and taste of sweetness, that oatmeal will be at the top of your heart-healthy breakfast menu.Like other heart-healthy foods, oatmeal lowers bad LDL cholesterol and is filled with cholesterol-absorbing fiber.The best thing about oatmeal is that you can add just about anything, and it’s still a good hot breakfast. Cinnamon and raisins are a popular way to kick up the taste. But almonds, walnuts and even soy nuts can really bring some texture.It might sound simple, but a simple bowl of oatmeal with some honey and a piece of toast can be a great staple breakfast — and one that won’t clog arteries like bacon and eggs.

Whole Foods Market: A Steady Diet of Growth and Profit

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:17:36 +0000

Despite a grim earnings year for the grocery sector, there is one bright, shining light: Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFM ) reported its Q1 2012 results on Feb. 8, beating analysts’ predictions on profit and store sales growth.

Earnings per share were $0.65 per share versus the forecast $0.60, and sales growth weighed in at 8.7% to analysts’ expected 8.3%. Whole Foods accomplished this feat with a market strategy that, unlike that of conventional food stores, takes the spotlight off of cost-cutting and trains it on customers’ health and the state of the world at large. In fact, if you see any signs using the word “save” in a Whole Foods store, it is most likely referring to the environment, not your cash.

Traditional grocers suffer more than natural food stores
Grocery stores, with their notoriously slim profit margins, have struggled through the recession, and some are now looking the worse for wear.

The granddaddy of all grocery stores, Kroger (NYSE: KR ) , has had a particularly bad time lately, shouldering a heavy debt load and suffering from consumer belt-tightening. As CEO David Dillon put it, the company suffers from “increasing stress” and “smaller baskets.”

Worse off still is SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU ) , currently implementing layoffs in an effort to bring some balance to its books by the end of its fiscal year on Feb. 25. This is unlikely, given the company’s crushing debt, $750 million loss, and stock value that has plunged nearly 20% over the last year.

The Fresh Market (Nasdaq: TFM ) , while smaller than Whole Foods, is another natural food store that has seen its fortunes rise over the past three months. Although its 15% stock value increase during that time period can’t rival Whole Foods’, it is certainly moving in the right direction. Considering that its growth for all of last year was a bit flat, this is quite an accomplishment. The Fresh Market had raised its outlook for this year after releasing a glowing third-quarter report last November. So far, it’s right on the money.

Whole Foods, meanwhile, has been growing by leaps and bounds and showing a rise in stock value of nearly 37% year-over-year. The company is all about growth and expansion, as it has been gobbling up smaller natural food stores for years on its way to becoming the dominant force in this market sector. Over the past year, it has been opening new stores in and around college towns, targeting a younger generation that it hopes to nurture into lifelong customers.

Are people really that enamored of natural and organic foods? The answer, it seems, is a resounding “yes.” Whole Foods knows its customer base, and it’s not only 20-somethings. College towns supply a well-heeled population of instructors, professors, and administrators who do not mind paying higher prices for just about everything in the store — hence the nickname “Whole Paycheck.” I can attest to this, as the store in the college town near me is always brimming with customers, no matter when I drop in.

Whole Foods has raised its outlook on 2012 sales growth and has plans to open between 24 and 27 new stores — and the company can well afford it. Management reports generating more than $340 million in cash during the last quarter, and they are using approximately one-third of it to maintain older stores and open new ones. Whole Foods returned $18 million to stockholders in the form of dividends, as well.

Smaller stores and an expanding customer base bring home the (organic) bacon
Whole Foods has realized greater profit in shrinking the size of its stores, finding that they outperform the larger ones. Stores opened in 2011 averaged 38,000 square feet — smaller than those brought online in 2010 — and yielded 29% higher sales per square foot. For 2012, the footprint is smaller still at 33,000 square feet, and the company plans to realize even higher productivity.

Whole Foods is finding that moving to communities with college campuses translates into lower development and business costs while still providing a large customer base. Additionally, the stores provide goods that other grocery chains do not. They also stock a large supply of natural supplements, as well as non-toxic household products. Management prides itself on offering a large array of perishable goods, and it believes this area is largely responsible for the company’s loyal contingent of customers.

A natural investment strategy
Whole Foods Market has a perfect recipe for continued growth and earnings, both of which increased despite rising food prices. Its core customer base is extremely loyal, and its new customer retention rate is excellent. Its increased guidance for this year shows a confidence borne out by its stellar market experience. This company offers a full plate of positive indicators for the savvy investor to chew on, no doubt about it.

What about The Fresh Market? I say this stock looks very tempting. The company appears to be on the right track for growth and earnings and, like Whole Foods, tends to concentrate on perishable grocery items. If it is smart, it will take a page from Whole Foods’ book. Another thought: Perhaps they will attract the behemoth’s attention and become part of the Whole Foods family. Now, there’s a tasty tidbit to savor.

If this article has whetted your appetite for more information about retailers who profit by setting their own pace, take a peek at our report, The Motley Fool’s top Stock for 2012. It’s chock-a-block full of great investment advice — and, best of all, it’s free!
