Inulin -- the latest "hot" nutritional additive -- can be seen in many products these days, from breakfast cereal to cottage cheese. The makers of this tiny new candy bar have added inulin and probiotics to justify their claim that this is a "Powerhouse Probiotics" bar. It tastes good -- a bit on the sweet side, but with only 7g of sugar that's probably due to the inulin which can be sweet. There's a grainy but not at all unpleasant texture, and a nice blueberry tartness to the flavor. This bar hits the spot if you're in the mood for a sweet treat with less guilt. The only problem we have is with the labeling -- there is no mention of just how much inulin or probiotics are contained in each bar, and since inulin is not well-tolerated by everyone, it would be good to know how much it contains (it is the fourth ingredient). Probiotics can be taken daily, continually, but we would like to see consumers getting the info they need. Retails for $1.19/0.07 oz. Available in other flavors and varieties.
