Is Orion’s Crunch just for kids?
Not at all! After giving thousands of samples of Orion’s Crunch out at local farmers markets, we’ve learned its loved by kids of all ages!
What’s the shelf-life of Orion’s Crunch?
As they are packaged, we recommend eating within 3 months of purchase for maximum crunch.
Freeze-dried food can last for up to 25 years when stored in a cool, dry place. Each bag contains a moisture absorber, but to extend the life of these bags for long term storage, we recommend storing in sealed food safe buckets with oxygen absorbers.
What are the macronutrient ratios of each flavor?
Each 2.5 ounce package contains 5 x 1/2 ounce servings. Each serving has:
3-5 g healthy fat (mostly omega-3)
2-4 g protein
3 g fiber
5-6 g total sugar (mostly from fruit)
1-3 g added sugar (from maple syrup)
*Refer to the product pages on our website to see nutrition facts for each flavor.
What is Orion’s Crunch sweetened with?
Orion’s Crunch is sweetened primarily with fruit and juice. Some flavors also have a touch of maple syrup and/or pure monk fruit extract to boost the natural fruit flavors.
Is Orion’s Crunch free of common allergens?
Orion’s Crunch is gluten-free. Please check ingredients for each flavor as some contain dairy and nuts. All flavors are made in a freeze-dryer that processes peanuts. As we expand, we plan to limit peanut processing to just 1 dryer and will update this page when that happens.
What’s so special about chia seeds?
Chia seeds offer a variety of potential health benefits due to their nutritional composition. Here are some of the things chia seeds are known for:
- Dietary Fiber: Chia seeds are rich in dietary fiber, which can aid digestion, promote a feeling of fullness, and support regular bowel movements.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.
- Plant-Based Protein: Chia seeds are a source of plant-based protein, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans and helping with muscle repair and growth.
- Hydration: When soaked in water, chia seeds can absorb liquid and help with hydration, making them useful for athletes and those in hot climates.
- Weight Management: The fiber and protein in chia seeds may aid in weight management by promoting fullness and reducing overall calorie intake.
- Nutrient Density: Chia seeds provide essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, as well as vitamins and antioxidants.
- Blood Sugar Control: Some studies suggest that chia seeds may help stabilize blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar.
- Cholesterol Management: There is evidence to suggest that chia seeds may help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
- Antioxidants: Chia seeds contain antioxidants that can help protect cells from oxidative damage.
- Bone Health: Chia seeds are a source of calcium and phosphorus, which are important for maintaining strong bones.
It's important to incorporate chia seeds into a balanced diet rather than relying solely on them for health benefits. Individual responses to chia seeds may vary, so it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized dietary recommendations.
What is freeze drying?
Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process that involves removing moisture from a product while preserving its structure, flavor, and nutrients. Here are some aspects that make freeze drying special:
- Preservation of Nutritional Value: Freeze drying retains the nutritional content of foods better than other drying methods like air drying or heating. This is because the process involves freezing the food at low temperatures and then gradually removing the ice (water) through sublimation, which minimizes damage to heat-sensitive nutrients such as vitamins and antioxidants.
- Longer Shelf Life: Freeze-dried products have a longer shelf life compared to fresh or dehydrated foods because the removal of moisture inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold that cause spoilage. Properly freeze-dried foods can last for months or even years without refrigeration if stored in appropriate packaging.
- Lightweight and Compact: Freeze-dried foods are lightweight and have low bulk density because most of the moisture has been removed. This makes them ideal for travel, camping, backpacking, and emergency preparedness, as they are easy to transport and store.
- Retention of Flavor and Texture: Unlike other drying methods that can result in a loss of flavor and texture, freeze drying preserves the natural taste, aroma, and texture of foods. Rehydrated freeze-dried foods often closely resemble their fresh counterparts in terms of taste, appearance, and mouthfeel.
- Versatility: Freeze drying can be applied to a wide range of food products, including fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, dairy, and even beverages. This versatility allows for the creation of a variety of freeze-dried snacks, ingredients, and meal options.
- Minimal Additives: Freeze-dried foods typically require fewer additives and preservatives compared to other preservation methods since the low moisture content inhibits microbial growth. This makes freeze-dried products a healthier option for those seeking minimally processed foods.
Overall, freeze drying is a specialized preservation technique that offers numerous advantages, including the retention of nutritional value, extended shelf life, lightweight and compact nature, preservation of flavor and texture, versatility, and minimal use of additives. These qualities make freeze-dried foods popular among consumers seeking convenient, nutritious, and flavorful options for various applications.
What’s the best way to eat Orion’s Crunch?
We always recommend drinking water when eating Orion’s Crunch since all of the moisture is extracted in the freeze-drying process. Chia seeds are amazing because they hold a large volume of water in their cell walls, so when paired together they will help keep you hydrated longer!
Beyond snacking on the bars, we love crumbling it over yogurt, ice cream, in cereal or fresh fruit. Please share your creative concoctions using Orion’s Crunch with us on Instagram! Tag @orionscrunch!
