Spotted: New products from some of our go-to brands on grocery shelves.
Emerald 100 Calorie Packs, flavored cashews (a pack has 100 calories and 8 fat, 5 carbohydrate, 1 fiber, 1 sugar and 3 protein grams): Emerald's 100 Calorie Packs of nuts have helped us keep from going nuts while eating from snack canisters. Now the line features cashews in bold flavors: Dill Pickle, Jalapeno, Sriracha and Salt & Pepper. So far, we've only sampled the Dill Pickle and found them to be the right amount of salty and sour. Seven packs per box. Visit emeraldnuts.com.
Fiber One 90 Calorie Soft Baked Bar, Orange Cranberry (a bar has 90 calories and 2.5 fat, 19 carbohydrate, 5 fiber, 8 sugar and less than 1 protein gram): Orange Cranberry is the latest flavor to join Fiber One's inventory of individually wrapped 90-calorie baked bars. Fruity in a fall way, it's probably a combination we'd prefer in a candle. Other flavors are Chocolate Fudge, Lemon, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie and Fudge Brownie. Six bars per box. Visit fiberone.com.
