100% Pure Puffed Fruit that Crunches

When Peter, Paul and Mary released the single “Puff the Magic Dragon” in 1962, the song soared to the top of the Billboard music charts. Now, almost a half century later, another newly debuted puff is skyrocketing to the top—this time in the organic foods market. Just released by Explorer’s Bounty, Gallop-A-Loozas, the company’s new line of puffed fruits that crunch, are taking the healthy snack food craze by storm. Currently available in six delectable varieties, Gallop-A-Loozas are USDA certified organic and adhere to Fair Trade practices.

According to a Michigan State University study, “Sales of organic snacks increased from $418 million in 2004 to $556 million in 2006. As of year-end 2007, SPINScan estimates that “dry fruit snacks boasted dollar sales in excess of $424.5 million.”

Gallop-A-Loozas consist of 100% pure fruit that is grown via sustainable farming practices. The proprietary puffing process that is used to make these puffed fruit snacks adds extra crunch and infuses them with flavor. The six adventurous varieties Gallop-A-Loozas come in include organic cinnamon-infused banana and pineapple as well as plantain, pineapple, banana and pineapple-banana. These latter two offerings are particularly good news for lovers of the world’s best-selling fruit, the banana.

With no added sweeteners, a bag of Gallop-A-Loozas contains under 100 calories per serving. And because they are made from real fruit, Gallop-A-Loozas provide the genuine nutritional value their grocery store 100-calorie snack pack competitors are lacking. The convenient way in which the puffed fruit snacks are packaged also makes Gallop-A-Loozas easy to carry for healthy on-the-go hunger busting.
