Tu B’Shevat Taste Test - The Bible Bar
Some of you may recall my earlier post about the Logia Bible Bar - the nutritional bar that includes all of the Sheva Minim. This Tu B’Shvat I felt compelled to purchase the bars and try them (having confirmed their COR hechsher). I purchased a box of 18 bars (after all, I have kids who need school snacks) for $34 + S&H.
The list of ingredients confirmed that all 7 kinds were in there - if you incorrectly translate D’vash as honey, when the proper translation is dates. Crisped brown-rice seems to be the most prevalent ingredient. Truth be told, these aren’t half bad. I could easily identify the flavors of figs & raisins - I’m not sure what wheat and barley flakes taste like. They are pretty big bars - the standard Quaker granola bar is 1 ounce; these are a whopping 2.1 ounces. At a little over $2 a bar, I’m not going to be buying these regularly - but they make a nice treat for Tu B’Shvat. All of the bars by Logia have a COR hechsher, so if you want to eat something called Abrahams’ Bossom or Elijah’s Fire, be my guest.
NOTE: the shipment contained a christian-themed lapel pin, which I promptly threw out. If you order more than $100 worth of products, they’ll send you a King James Bible.
I don’t understand who organizations like that think they’re attracting. J for J, I guess?
Suzanne,
I am not sure what you mean. These types of products are marketed towards evangelical x-ians, many of whom are into the bible and the Holy Land.
