LITTLE ROCK — General Mills recently added Nutty Clusters and Almonds to its line of Fiber One Cereals, which includes Original, Honey Clusters, Raisin Bran Clusters and 80 Calorie Honey Squares. The cereal should be sold at most stores for about $4 a box.
If you’ve never heard of Buddy Fruits, they’re an interesting line of pouched fruit purees and beverages, created by a French couple living in the United States who saw a need and set out to fill it. Such items are popular in France, so that’s where they got the idea. Buddy Fruits’ products line consists of:
Pure Blended Fruit in banana, apple cinnamon, strawberry, multifruit, and mango passion and banana.
Pure Fruit Bites come in orange, pomegranate and acai, apple, raspberry, banana and black currant.
Blended Fruit & Milk smoothies in banana, mango and peach.
Coconut Milk & Fruit blends in tropical and raspberry flavors.
Superfruit is a blend of pure fruit that comes in blueberry and black currant, and raspberry and cranberry.
According to the company’s website, Fruitsnack. com, Buddy Fruits products are sold at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Harps, Piggly Wiggly and City Market stores, or online at Amazon.com, where boxes of 18 packets sell for under $25.
