In creating our small family farm, we realized how good it feels to get back to the roots of how food is grown - understanding the soil, when to harvest and how food is best prepared. Our experience inspired us to make CLIF Nectar®. Our organic fruit and nut addition to the Clif Bar family is bursting with flavor and pure to its roots. Clif Nectar is the essence of nature. The essence of simple. Eat well, and feel good about it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Clif Nectar Raw?
CLIF Nectar is not raw.
While Clif Bar Inc supports the concept of the raw food diet, we also understand some of the concerns around eating raw food. Raw seeds and nuts contain compounds known as enzyme inhibitors. Enzyme inhibitors make digestion of these foods much more difficult for us. This is one of the benefits to eating roasted nuts, since the enzyme inhibitors are destroyed during the roasting process. To destroy these compounds, raw foodists generally soak their nuts and seeds in water prior to eating.
We have chosen to use roasted nuts so that they will be more easily digested, while still getting the health benefits of these foods.
Also, many raw dried fruits and nuts naturally contain high quantities of yeast and/or mold. To enable us to provide safe food to our consumers, we have decided to use roasted nuts, which have much lower quantities of these microbial issues, and we also heat the dried fruit in our bars to a safe internal temperature.
We also pay close attention to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans food safety recommendations, which include guidance on how to avoid microbial foodborne illness:
Cook foods to a safe temperature to kill microorganisms
Avoid raw unpasteurized juices, and raw sprouts
Are CLIF Nectar bars kosher?
CLIF Nectar bars are Kosher Dairy. CLIF Nectar does not contain any dairy ingredients, however, it is produced on the same manufacturing equipment as some other products that do contain dairy ingredients. Therefore, CLIF Nectar must be labeled as Kosher Dairy.
