Yumnuts Receives an A+

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Hey Guys!

Great product! I agree with the YUM!!!!…….you give YUM a new meaning. The nuts are light with your roasting process and the flavors subtle.

I was shopping at the Stew Leonard’s store in Newington, CT today (2/26/10) for my weekly fresh goodies and I met your representative offering samples of new YUMNUTS! I bought the Honey for my husband and the Coconut for me to take to work to much on for a satisfying, up-lifting snack between teaching my university classes. I will now be looking for your product display at Stew’s when I go back for my next shopping trip.

It was funny, I asked the gentleman if these cashews were a Bear Naked product….I’m a fan of their granola also. He told me one of you “original YUMNUTS” were associated with that company in the past. (I read your BIOS and see how you blend well together). I knew I could recognize quality again!

Well…keep up the great product line and I hope to see in the future the addition of new, exciting flavors and different nut products as you expand your horizons.

Five Foods You Should Eat Everyday

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Immediately I would like to point out that #4 - Whole Grains help to flatten your belly. Now who doesn’t want that?!

#1 Leafy greens
Medical experts call them one of nature’s miracle foods. Leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale are high in nutrients like folate and vitamins A and C that can lower your risk of cancer. Just one cup of dark, leafy greens a day could also prevent diabetes and high blood pressure.
#2 Nuts
Many nutritionists recommend nuts like almonds, cashews and walnuts because they’re high in natural fiber. Fiber slows your digestive process, keeping hunger and unhealthy mid-afternoon snacks at bay. Goodbye vending machine runs!
#3 Onions
Studies show that consuming onions on a regular basis may reduce symptoms of asthma and the risk of developing stomach cancer. Add them to soups and stir-fry, and just remember — the stronger the onion, the greater the health benefit.
#4 Whole grains
Refined grains, like white rice and pasta, have lost 90% of their nutritional value through the refining process. As if that weren’t reason enough to choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa and whole oats, a recent study showed that a diet rich in whole grains actually flattens your belly by reducing fat storage in your lower abdominal region.
#5 Yogurt
Making yogurt part of your daily eating routine can improve your digestion — if you’re buying the right stuff. Check that the label lists “active cultures” to make sure you’re getting healthy probiotics, and pick a yogurt rich in vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis.

YUM on a Snow Day

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

What better way to say YUM than on a snow day, all warm and snugglie by the fire with your favorite bag of Yumnuts. Here is what our newest customer, Lisa Jo has to say about that.

Hi Guys!

It’s a snow day here in CT and one of my daughters and I went to get some “snow day food” at Stew’s. It was here that we met Kevin and fell in love with Yumnuts (and Kevin)! We had a sample of the Honey and Chocolate Yumnuts and it was all over but the crying!  WE LOVE THEM!! I’ve already called my friends and got them hooked on the best nut snack available!

Mike, Tyler and Jerome (and Kevin) - thanks for your vision, hard work and determination to make your dreams come true! We are thrilled for you and the lucky ones who come across your product. YUM!

We can confirm we have an interesting, comical and memorable product name. We can guarantee that Yumnuts is a healthy snack anytime, anywhere. We unfortunately cannot guarantee that eating Yumnuts will miraculously tone your thighs, though I agree, that would be a nice selling feature.

Say Yum For Flavored Cashews

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Nuts are a $2.3billion dollar category, and cashews are in more than half of Americans’ pantries, according to Mintel. Norwalk, Conn.-based Yumnuts, founded in 2009 by Mike Cochrane, a lifelong nut, and Tyler Ricks, the No. 1 Yumnut, introduces Yumnuts all-natural flavored cashews. Hand-selected for flavor, the jumbo cashews are slow dry-roasted in small batches without added oils, and are packaged in portable and resealable bags for on-the-go snacking.
