Paleo Snacks & Bars (Vegan, Raw)

    Fruit & Nuts

• Blessing’s Alive and Radiant Foods makes dehyrated kale chips in four flavors with assorted spices. I would consider them all paleo, except for the one with agave. There is a minimum $25 to order direct. Alternatively you can buy two of the flavors at Amazon.com, where they are eligible for free shipping: Cheesey Kale Chips. 3.5oz and Habanero Ranch Kale Chips. 3.5oz. Can also find at ShopRawFoods.

• Blessing’s Alive and Radiant Foods also makes Raweo cookies (carob cookies on the outside, vanilla bean cashew cream on the inside). They are not completely paleo, and are sweet. Can find at ShopRawFoods.
• Awesome Foods makes raw “right carb” food. Based outside of Philadelphia, their varied line ranges froms bars to wraps. Most products are paleo or close to paleo, though a few with gluten clearly are not. It is quite interesting to explore their product line and see how using only raw foods they can create products for all parts of a meal. Many are refrigerated products. Can buy all their products online here, or some at ShopRawFoods.

• Grass-fed beef snack sticks aren’t jerky, but they are close. All ingredients of this paleo snack are paleo: grass-fed beef, water, sea salt, black pepper, red pepper, garlic, coriander.

• Raw nuts are a very paleo snack. I can buy them at any of the many health foods stores in my area. I can’t see spending more and buying them by mail. But possibly not everybody has as many local options. Bergin Nut Company [no website yet!] products are the bulk foods that Amazon.com stocks. There are lots. Many are not paleo. This search returns just Bergin’s raw nuts in bestselling order.

• Organic Berry Powerful Trail Mix is a paleo snack that is a unique trail mix containing the following list of ingredients: gogi berries, blueberries, cherries, cocoa nibs (not paleo), Hunza mulberries, cranberries, Hunza golden raisins, coconut, almonds, apricot kernels. Package weighs 7 ounces.

• Cavemen Cookies come in three flavors: The Original is made with honey, almond flour, walnuts, raisins, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon. The Tropical flavor has almond flour, honey, unsulfured coconut, macadamia nuts, and ginger. And the Alpine has honey, hazelnut flour, almond flour, and carob. Available at a few places in NYC. You can also buy this paleo snack through Amazon.com.

• ChoripDong Korean Seaweed Snack (Kim Nori), Roasted w/Olive oil & Sea Salted, 0.17-Ounce Bags. Seaweed has an abundance of minerals and vitamins. There are many seaweed snacks on the market. The problem is very few of them are paleo. They often will have seed oils, soy sauce with wheat, and/or sugar. I found this one that is roasted laver with olive oil and only lightly salted. Buy through Amazon.com.

• ChocolaTree produces a line of raw organic foods. Most are not paleo, but the following are:

  Kale Chips are available in vegan cheddar or chipotle. Kale chips are very tasty and addicting and make a great paleo snack. You can buy direct, or through Amazon.com. If you order through Amazon.com by default you get cheddar, but you may specify chipotle. Note that buying through Amazon.com will get you a plastic tub that will better protect the contents than the bag used if you order direct from the maker.

  Nori Nachos are similar to the Kale Chips but with a nori base instead of kale. You can buy this paleo snack through Amazon.com.

  Chia crackers are raw seed based crackers. They are paleo questionable per Loren Cordain. You can buy through Amazon.com.

• Dick Stevens has a product line called Life is nuts! They have paleo snack mixes that include jerky, nuts, and dried fruit, which makes for a very nice balanced snack. Available in both beef and bison. They also now sell Paleo Nut Cookies and Caveman Cupcakes. You can order on this page.

• Didi’s Baking For Health has an entire line of raw vegan snacks. Some products have vanilla, which was the only non-paleo ingredient I could find. No agave syrup, so not too sweet. I like the Cashew Ginger Cream. Available through Amazon.com.

• Earthling Organics makes Rawnola, Goji Bar, and Yogi Bar. Like many raw vegan products they contain high fructose agave syrup and vanilla bean. Can buy online here.

• Eat Natural in the UK makes bars that are nuts and fruit. Only the Macadamia and Fruit Bar is near paleo. You can buy in the US at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• At Element Bars you can design your own energy bars. Many ingredients are not paleo, but enough are that you can create your own date-based paleo snack bar. You can also personalize the label, which could make these neat party favors. A dozen will cost you $36 + $6 shipping.

• Gimme Good Stuff makes raw, organic, germinated, vegan, gluten-free, fruit sweet, snacks, like bars and brownies, cookies, snacks, cereals, and ingredients. Sold in stores scattered all over and online here with a $30 minimum. Their Pecan Pie Bar is not as sweet as Really-Raw Sweets (listed below under International Harvest).

• Freeland Foods Go Raw makes hand-crafted organic, raw living food. Product line includes bars, snacks, cookies, and real live chocolate. Lots of flaxseeds, which are paleo questionable. And those taste flaxseedy. Distributed nationally. Buy here or at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Gopal’s Healthfoods has a line of raw and sprouted wraps and bars. Many are paleo or very close. Some have high fructose agave syrup. Can buy online here or at Natural Zing or at the GlutenFreeMall.
• International Harvest, Inc. has several lines of organic and raw foods. The Really-Raw Sweets are a mixture of fruit, high fructose agave syrup, and nuts. Plus a little vanilla. Their Pecan Pie really does taste like pecan pie, and just as sweet. There is Go Take A Hike! trail mix. See other single ingredient products. Buying here requires a $50 minimum.
• Kookie Karma makes vegan flourless organic cookies and crackers. Lots of different seeds, nut flours, and other ingredients. Only the ones that they label Raw are semi-paleo (they all have high fructose agave syrup). Also see some of their gRAWnola. Can buy online here or Amazon.com or a couple cookies at ShopRawFoods and Natural Zing.

• Lärabars are a dried date-based bar with 19 flavors with many of them paleo. (The exceptions having peanuts or cocoa.) They are the favorite paleo snack of the paleo crowd. My favorite was the Ginger Snap, but it is now the new Tropical Fruit Tart. Similar is the Key Lime Pie. Both are descended from the Coconut Cream Pie. These are the least sweet. Available at stores or at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Living Intentions makes a line of sprouted and seasoned nut blends. Sold as Gone Nuts! in eight flavors. Some have wheat-free soy. Fully paleo is Cilantro. Can buy online here or at ShopRawFoods or Natural Zing or through Amazon.com.

• Living Nutz germinates nuts and then dehydrates them at low temperatures. Dates are added. They are spiced. Vanilla extract is present. In a dozen flavors, but many have soy sauce with wheat. Can buy online here or at ShopRawFoods.
• Livin’ Spoonful makes crackers made from sprouted sunflower seeds. They come in four flavors. No grains. You can buy online at this web site or some at ShopRawFoods and Natural Zing.
• Love Bites Organic Trail Mix Paleo Snacks. 100% organic and raw. Each package contains 4 ounces.

  Ginger contains a flavorful mix of organic almonds, cashews, apricots, coconut, dates and spices led by ginger. Pecan is a mix of whole pecans, dried apples, apricots, hunza golden raisins and organic spices. Tropical is a combination of cashews, mango, papaya, pineapple, coconut and spices.

• Lydia’s Organics creates combinations of sprouted grains, seeds, and nuts, along with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and seaweed. Dehydrated at low temperatures. Shaped into bars, crackers, and cereals. Can buy online here or at ShopRawFoods or Natural Zing.

• Organic Mystic Mountain Trail Mix is an exotic mixture of almonds, pecans, cranberries (apple juice sweetened, sunflower oil), hunza raisins and hunza mulberries. Caution . . . this mix is so good you can’t put it down. Young old will find this mixture habit forming. 6.5 ounce package.

• Clif Bar has the Nectar line of fruit and nut bars. Bars are made with five or fewer 100% organic ingredients. In five flavors. Find in your local store or maybe someday at Amazon.com. (Other Clif products are not paleo.)

• New York Naturals has three flavors of raw vegan kale chips. They are great to snack on. This is the one that I buy locally (they are made here in Brooklyn) and my favorite is the Vegan “Cheese.” They are addicting. You can buy through Amazon.com and they will be shipped direct from the manufacturer to ensure freshness.

• Organic Raw Nuts. 100% organic and raw. All hulled and unsalted.

  Walnuts. 4 oz. packages. Cashews. 6 oz. packages. Almonds. 6.5 oz. packages. Pistachios. 8 oz. packages.

  Pecans. 5 oz. packages. Brazil Nuts. 8 oz. packages. Macadamia Nuts. 8 oz. packages.

• Paleo Brands has a Paleo Snax mix, and bars/cookies. The paleo snacks are quite interesting with grass-fed beef jerky, macadamia nuts, pecans, blueberries, walnuts, cherries, sunflower seeds and goji berries. The bars/cookies all have honey as the first or second ingredient. A variety of frozen gourmet paleo entrees are now available.
• Paleo Treats makes two organic pseudo-paleo treats: Cacao Now!, a fruit-nut-chocolate cookie made from cacao powder, high fructose agave syrup, almonds, raisins, pistachios, raw goji berries. And Mac Attacks, a coconut and cacao treat (includes egg whites). Can buy online here.

• Paleo Women Snacks & Granola’s has four pseudo-paleo snack products. From what I can read (the website is among the most obnoxious on the web, but it is being redone) none of the four granola products (Cacao Nut, Apple Crisp, Cappuccino Crunch, and Banana Nut Crunch) are truly paleo. They either have cacao or coffee. More products are coming. You can buy online here, in some retail stores, and through Amazon.com you can get a variety pack.

• Steve’s Original makes PaleoKit, a medley of beef jerky, raw macadamias, almonds, pecans and dried fruits that are vacuum sealed. Available in original, grass-fed, and turkey recipe. You can buy online here or at Amazon.com. They also sell a Paleo Crunch, which includes the very non-paleo grapeseed oil.

• UliMana makes raw Lemon Fig Pecan Bars. It is not a 100% paleo snack as there is a little vanilla bean in it and it has high fructose agave syrup. Can buy online here.
• Weil by Nature’s Path is yet another line of fruit and nut bars. These are all organic and again dates is the first ingredient. I find five flavors. You can buy online here or maybe someday at Amazon.com.
• Wilderness Family Naturals makes Coco Bliss Raw Health Bars (coconut, almond butter, and agave) and Coconut Ambrosia bars (coconut, agave, almond butter, orange oil, and vanilla). Everything is organic and raw, but includes agave. You can buy online here or through Amazon.com for absurdly high prices. [Be careful. They also sell a Green Food Feast bar that has oats and rice.]
• If you are willing to lower your paleo standards just a little when it comes to snack bars, you can find a much longer list at the GF Mall.

    100% Fruit

• Bare Fruit Snacks makes organic bake-dried fruit chips. No oil is added. Products are just fruit. Available is a variety of fruits and package sizes. Some are mixed fruits. Some are spiced with cinnamon. You can buy online here or at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Bear Fruit Bars are organic fruit snack bars with apple as the primary ingredient. In four flavors: apple blueberry, apple cherry, apple raspberry, and apple. Can buy online here, or at TrueFoodsMarket.

• Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit is fruit twisted into a fun rope shape. Available in six flavors: Grape, Mixed Berry, Pineapple, Sour Apple, Strawberry, and Tropical Twist. At Amazon.com they are scattered about in different departments. Some are eligible for free shipping.

• Crunchies Food Company has a line of freeze-dried fruits that are crunchy. See Raspberries, Very Berry, Tropical Fruit, Mango, Pineapple, Mixed Fruit, Strawberries, and Organic Strawberries. Plus a few that are not paleo. Buy online here or at the GlutenFreeMall or Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Dried Organic Banana Slices 8oz. Now bananas have a lot of carbs. If you have problems controlling your weight you may not be able to eat these, except as a special treat. Sold by RawReform and ships free.

• I make my own applesauce. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it (and have a food mill). And I can load it up with cinnamon. But this is a snack section, and so I will focus on organic applesauce in snack-sized packaging that hasn't been sweetened. (Mott's is not organic and has HFCS, and while Santa Cruz is organic, it has been sweetened with high fructose apple concentrate.) Earth’s Best comes in cinnamon and plain. They get free 2-day shipping (as they are marketed as baby food, but of course people of any age can enjoy).

• Ariel Natural Foods makes Fruitwell, freeze dried snacks that are crunchy and crisp. Products are just fruit. In four flavors: apple, banana, mango, pineapple, and a variety pack. Buy online at Amazon.com.

• Funky Monkey Snacks makes crunchy freeze-dried fruit in bags. If you think Go Daddy’s site is busy, this is worse, and with motion and mouse overs. As far as I can tell--this is a form over content website--the products are just fruit and cinnamon. Available in many flavors: Applemon, Bananamon, Carnival Mix, Jibealime, MangOJ, Pink Pineapple, Purple Funk, and a variety pack. Buy online at Amazon.com with free shipping.

• Materne in France makes GoGo squeeZ, a 100% fruit squeezable applesauce in flavors: Apple Apple, Apple Banana, Apple Cinamon, Apple Peach, Apple Strawberry. Marketed to kids. Available at Whole Foods, or you can buy at Amazon.com with free shipping.

• Gorge Delights produces JustFruit Bars in at least eight flavors. Predominate ingredient is either pears or apples. Buy in stores or here or TrueFoodsMarket or GlutenFreeMall or Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• The Kettle Valley Dried Fruit Company produces premium, all natural fruit snacks. They start with a base of whole apples and use natural purees and juices to flavor as well as natural flavor extracts. Sold under the name Real Fruit Snacks that are available in both organic and non-organic. Flavors include: strawberry, raspberry, berry blend, orchard blend, blueberry, cherry, sour apple, wild berry, and grape. Buy at Amazon.com, where they are eligible for free shipping.

• Nature’s Envy Apple Chips Original are crispy like a potato chip. Some find them tough, chewy, and hard to eat. They are all-natural, no preservatives, no sugar. At Amazon.com they are available in 0.77 Ounce Bags or 2.8 Ounce Bags.

• Navitas Naturals has a line of raw dried superfruit. These are fruits with a high level of antioxididants. Some are berries and can be eaten as snacks. Some are powders that can be used in smoothies or drinks. Most are certified organic. All the below are shipped by Amazon.com and eligible for free shipping.

• Peter Rabbit Organics makes squeezable organic fruit snacks in three flavors: (1) Mango, Banana and Orange, (2) Apple and Grape, (3) Strawberry and Banana. Available at Starbuck locations and from Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Revolution Foods: Organic Mashups Squeezable Fruit is available in four flavors: Grape, Berry, Tropical and the new Strawberry Banana. Buy online here or at Amazon.com with free shipping.

• Açaí is a small purple berry from the Brazilian Amazon that is claimed to be packed with antioxidants, healthy omega fats, amino acids and dietary fiber. The problem is it is way overhyped. For antioxidants it is only middling. Darker fruits, like Concord grapes and blueberries, have more. Information on the berry can be found at Wikipedia. It gets listed here as it is a top seller at Amazon.com, and it is useful to add flavoring to paleo smoothies and other foods. Note that unit cost is cheaper for the pouch shown above under Navitas Naturals.

• Stretch Island Fruit makes a line of organic fruit leather and FruitaBü, a Smooshed Fruit. They are nothing but fruit. In eight flavors: Apple, Apricot, Blackberry, Cherry, Grape, Mango, Raspberry, Strawberry, and a variety pack. Available at TrueFoodsMarket and Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Trail Power Berry Mix Snacks. Each package contains 4 ounces.

  Wild Incan Golden Berries: an instant favorite for the U.S. Wellness staff. These berries are also referenced as Cape Gooseberry. The yellow berries are relatives of the cherry tomato and when dried, resemble golden raisins with a delicious tangy/tart flavor. 3 Berry (Gogi-Incan-Mulberry): Gogi berry, Incan berries and mulberries. This nutritious combination will pick you up as an emergency snack at work or play. Organic Dried Mulberries: Organic white mulberries have a subtle natural sweet taste with a soft crunchy texture that whets your appetite.

• Willamette Valley Fruit has three marionberry (a blackberry cultivar: see Wikipedia article) bars that also have other fruits (blueberry, apple, or strawberry). There is also a very non-paleo one with chocolate, sugar and soy. You can buy only at From The Farm.

    Meat Snacks

• US Wellness Meats (aka Grassland Beef) has grass-fed beef pemmican for sale, possibly the only source for pre-made paleo pemmican that exists in the US. This is the ultimate paleo snack. At times I make my own pemmican, but you can’t beat the convenience of buying it here.
     
  Direct from the freezer is an excellent way to consume pemmican to prevent a soft texture. When thawed 10-20 minutes, the bars have the texture of a snickers candy bar.
  The 3.2 ounce cryovaced bars are available individually for $3.56/bar and in 40 bar packages (8 pounds total) for $133.35 ($3.33/bar). Plus available in 2.25 pound pails for $37.50 ($3.33/bar equivalent). Shipping is free with $7.50 handling fee per total order. Note, however, that there is a $75 minimum. On this page I’ve highlighted other foods they sell to help you get up to it.

• Lowrey’s Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds are not only delicious, they’re high in protein, and contain 60% less fat than fried pork rinds. Eat them right from the bag or with your favorite hot sauce, dip, salsa or barbecue sauce. Apparently they are loaded with salt, which isn’t listed on the web. You can buy at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Golden Valley Natural Organic Beef Jerky is not paleo. It is loaded with additives. The cattle were fed grains. But it was the closest at Amazon.com that I could find. Best is to buy a dehydrator and make one’s own. But if you really want to buy, here it is at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• 100% paleo red meat jerky may not exist, unless you make your own. Climax Jerky has Smoked Elk Jerky with the only non-paleo ingredient being sugar. (Most of their other jerkies have soy sauce or soy powder.) Also see Salmon Jerky. They probably are sweet. Can buy online here.
• Native American Natural Foods produces Tanka Bar and Tanka Bites. They are grass-fed bison and cranberry in either bar or nugget form. In either traditional or hot. Unfortunately the cranberries are sugared making this a sweet product and not completely paleo. You can buy online here or in retail stores.

    Fish Snacks

• Sardines are not only a very paleo snack, but a convenient way to get healthy Omega 3s and calcium (if not boneless) in your diet. You don’t even need a can opener to open the can. Sardines, of course, come in dozens of varieties. There are different types and sizes of fish. They are prepped differently (boneless, skinless, etc). They can be spiced (some unnecessarily with salt). And they can be packed in olive oil or water (or non-paleo oils). Here are hundreds at Amazon.com. All of the ones that make the first page are eligible for free shipping.

• Crown Prince Natural Smoked Oysters in Pure Olive Oil is the best selling smoked oysters at Amazon.com, where it is sold by the case and ships free. See many other Crown Prince items.

• Polar Kipper Snacks is skinless, boneless, naturally hot-smoked (kippered) fillets of herring. It is just herring and salt. Can buy at Amazon.com, where it is sold by the case and ships free. See many other Polar items.

• Alaska Smokehouse has three wild Coho Salmon jerkies. Only two of them are paleo: Smoked, and Pepper Garlic. The new Pepper Garlic Salmon Jerky is generously sprinkled down with pepper and garlic before the Double Smoke process, providing a bold taste with a spicy kick. Buy at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping. See many other Alaska Smokehouse items.

• Portugese Sardines in Spring Water, with no added salt or oil. An easy paleo snack which you can alternate with your pemmican. They are packed when Omega-3 levels are at their highest, by a family that has been harvesting Sardines for over a century. Certified Kosher and packed with Omega-3s, protein and Vitamin D.

• Taste Specialty Foods Tsar Royale, White Sturgeon, Farmed Caviar, USA, 8-Ounce Tin. Here’s an exotic paleo snack. Cheap caviars have unpaleo artifical dyes and preservatives. But not this unpasteurized one. Included in the Amazon.com price is expedited shipping for this refrigerated item. This is a good item for the holiday season (which is when most caviar is sold). Hand carved Mother of Pearl spoons are the traditional accoutrements used to serve caviar. And it should be served over ice.

    Other Animal-Based Snacks

• Roland Quail Eggs. Are you wondering why quail eggs are listed here? Well, they are paleo. And while they would make an odd snack, they are ready to serve and would make a convenient paleo appetizer, which are snacks. You can buy at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• The Blue Mountain Cashew Creamery in Floyd, VA has a line of raw and organic non-dairy cashew-based frozen desserts. Can buy at US Wellness (which you can ship with your pemmican). In six flavors: Cappuccino Chocolate Goji Berry Mango Mint Cacao Chip Vanilla

• Dr. Cow has a line of tree nut cheeses in eight flavors. As a base they all use either cashew or macadamia, then flavor with brazil nut, hemp, or dulse. Can buy in some natural food stores around Manhattan, a couple places on the west coast, and online. They do have a nice sharp taste. They are expensive. The VeganStore sells seven of the flavors online. Six flavors are sold by VeganEssentials.
• EatintheRaw.com sells Parma!, a non-dairy parmesan seasoning. Made from raw organic walnuts, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. It comes in Original and Chipotle Cayenne (adds chipotle, onion, cayenne). It can be found at natural foods stores and at vegan web sites, e.g. VeganEssentials.

• Edward & Sons produces Let’s Do Organic Creamed Coconut. It is unsweetened. Replaces diary and coconut milk in sauces, curries, smoothies and more. You can buy at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• MimicCreme is a non-dairy cream substitute that is made with almonds, cashews, and a little rice starch. (Ok, it isn’t completely paleo.) Use the unsweetened one in any recipe in the same amount as cream. They also have sweetened ones which are clearly not paleo. In aseptic boxes. Can buy online here or at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Organic Nectars in Malden, NY makes raw products based on agave. Of interest here is their raw vegan gelato. It is made of cashews and sweetened only with their high fructose agave syrup. In 11 flavors. It can be purchased here by phone. (I found it in my local HFS.)
• The Vegetarian Express makes Parma Zaan Sprinkles in the shaker bottle. Made with almonds, sea salt, nutritional yeast, onion powder, and citric acid. Can buy online here.

• Roland Coconut Milk, Organic, 14-Ounce cans, is something you would have on hand for cooking. It is not 100% paleo, as it uses guar gum as a thickener. You can buy at Amazon.com, where a case of 24 ships free.

• Thai Kitchen Pure Coconut Milk, 13.66-Ounce cans, is something you would have on hand for cooking. It is not 100% paleo, as it uses guar gum as a thickener. This is the brand you are most likely to find in the store. The per can price is a little less than the Roland, but the biggest difference is this is sold as a case of 12 instead of 24. You can buy at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Tomberlies makes raw vegan ice cream. It is not really paleo, as it has high fructose agave syrup. Available in 14 flavors. Basic ingredients are coconut, cashews, agave, vanilla, and then the cocoa, fruit or nuts for flavoring. Store locations are all in Southern California. No online ordering. Phone or e-mail. The overnight shipping is expensive. Can buy a 6 flavor combo (12 8 oz. containers) at RawGuru.
• Turtle Mountain is a manufacturer of non-dairy Products under the So Delicious brand (and others).

  Their Coconut Milk Kefir is the most paleo with 10 active and live cultures making it the most worthwhile to seek out. Only the Original is unsweetened. It makes a good base for paleo smoothies. Here is a review of the coconut kefirs. There is the Coconut Milk Yogurt with active and live cultures. None of the nine flavors are fully paleo as even the Original is sweetened (though less sweet). There is a Coconut Milk Creamer with plenty of stabilizers to make it like cream. There is a Coconut Milk beverage. In three flavors with only the unsweetened paleo. There is a Coconut Water Sorbet that does not have agave. And there is a line of pseudo-paleo coconut ice creams called Purely Decadent that is sweetened with high fructose agave syrup.

    Coconut Water

• Coconut Water is “nature’s isotonic beverage” from the center of green young coconuts. Most are from Brazil (except one noted below). Coconut water contains potassium (more than a banana), calcium, magnesium and many trace minerals. It has an ideal balance of electrolytes so important to replenish after exercise. Naturally low in calories and fat-free, it’s the paleo way to quench your thirst and restore well being. Read more at the Wikipedia article on Coconut water. This product is readily available in natural food stores. Be sure to read the ingredient list, as some are sweetened and some have preservatives (generally the ones that are marketed to the Latin community). By law in the US all are pasteurized. All of the ones listed below are either eligible for free shipping from Amazon, or ship free by itself.

  Coconut Water: For Health and Healing by Dr. Bruce Fife educates the reader on the health benefits of coconut water. Coconut water’s unique nutritional profile gives it the power to balance body chemistry, ward off disease, fight cancer, and retard aging. History and folklore credit coconut water with remarkable healing powers, which medical science is now confirming. All Amazon.com reviews give it 5 stars.

  Amy & Brian Naturals Coconut Juice comes in three variations: With Pulp, without pulp, and With Lime. They came in 17.5-ounce and 10-ounce cans. Comments at Amazon say this one has a lovely light, clean, fresh taste, and is a little sweeter than the others. This is because their coconuts come from Thailand. [Note that for the rest of 2010 the coconuts used for the small cans are sweeter than the ones used for the large cans.] You can buy directly from Amy & Brian, use the store locator on their site, or buy from Amazon.com.

  Harvest Bay 100% Coconut Water, 11-Ounce Boxes. This is distributed to natural food stores in the East and West, and you can buy from Amazon.com. [Out of stock until September.]

  Naked Juice 100% Coconut Water. This is one of the sites designed entirely with the obnoxious Flash and you are forced to go through their art show and slow loading before getting to the information. Apparently the juice manufacturers have a competition to see who can have the most obnoxious site. Buy from Amazon.com.

  Nature Factor Organic Young Coconut Water from certified organic coconuts. This also has a lovely light, clean, fresh taste, but is less sweet than Amy & Brian’s. You can buy at Amazon.com.

  O.N.E. (One Natural Experience) makes a coconut water that is 100% natural coconut. (Only go to their website if you want to see how obnoxious and useless websites can be when you hire a graphics designer to design it.) Available in 11.2-ounce and 8.5-ounce Tetra Paks. They do not sell online, but you can find it at Amazon.com, where it is the second best-seller.

  Vita Coco makes a 100% pure coconut water. And another annoying web site that forces you to undergo their entertainment before you can get to the product information. This one is sour compared to the others. It comes in many flavors and is the best selling coconut water. You can buy at Amazon.com.

  Zico makes a coconut water that is now made from concentrate, and the only one in this grouping that is. Amazon reviews claim the taste has taken a hit (tastes and smells funny). It is bottled on a line that also bottles dairy and soy. You can find at natural food stores and at Amazon.com. (In contrast to the coconut water websites I trashed above, the Zico site is attractive and uses no Flash at all.)

 A very comprehensive Kitchen Equipment FAQ is on another page. Below are just a couple highlights.

• A dehydrator is a great implement for making your own paleo snacks. The Excalibur 9-Tray Dehydrator is the one I have and the one I recommend you get. You can buy the 3900 from Amazon.com. You can also buy the 2900 that lacks a timer (which I don’t have and don’t see a need for) at Amazon.com or Natural Zing. You can get disposable sheets for making raw food cookies, pizza and bars at Amazon.com or ShopRawFoods or Natural Zing.

• A burr grinder is the only type of grinder that is suitable for nuts (an oily food). This is the type used for coffee beans. There are dozens and dozens of burr grinders. A basic one will not grind fine enough for flour, so one has to look for one with coarseness adjustability. I selected the bestselling Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill, which has an 18-position grind selector, from ultra fine to coarse.

• Our Happy Homestead specializes in supplies for self-sufficiency. For us they have products like dehydrators, smokers, meat grinders, etc.

    Coconut Oils

• Nutiva makes a USDA-certified-organic, extra-virgin coconut oil that is cold-pressed from fresh coconuts within two hours of chopping. It has a light true-coconut taste, aroma. This is the one I buy and is by far the top selling coconut oil at Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping. There is also a more economical larger size that ships for only $0.99.

• Some people prefer truly raw coconut oil. Coconut Pacific (from Noni Pacific) is 100% raw coconut oil that is cold pressed from USDA certified organic coconuts immediately after picking to maintain the integrity of its active ingredients. It has an exceptionally mild taste. At Amazon.com it is the best selling raw coconut oil and is eligible for free shipping.

• For those that want to buy their coconut oil in the gallon size (you must be frying!) this Aloha Nu Coconut Oil (also from Noni Pacific) is the most popular at Amazon.com and ships free. It is Extra Virgin Cold Pressed, Raw, and Certified Organic. Also available in 32-Ounce jars, which are eligible for free shipping.

• And for the commercial kitchen you can buy coconut oil in the five gallon size! The best selling in this size at Amazon.com is Nature’s Approved USDA Certified organic extra virgin from Fiji.

• Tropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil, Non-Certified - 5-gallon pail is cheaper at Amazon.com than the organic one listed above. Read about expeller-pressed at the Tropical Traditions website. They import many virgin organic coconut products, including oil, cream, flour, shedded, flakes, and chips. Website includes lots of information on coconut. At Amazon they also have health and personal care products.

• Ultimate Superfoods has a virgin raw coconut oil. Lots of other raw foods, including sea vegetables. You can buy online here.

    Fruit Oils

• I hesitated putting olive oil here. It is so readily available. And at Amazon.com a search returns thousands, as it also returns every food that includes olive oil as an ingredient. The only oil that would be considered paleo is First Cold Pressed. This process is low tech, as a paleo food should be. Generally, but not always, if it is labelled Extra Virgin it will be First Cold Pressed. And of course organic is more paleo. So I listed just this best selling one: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is eligible for free shipping.

• Palm oil, is a paleo fruit oil that is excellent for deep fat frying. It has a smoke point of 455°F. Wilderness Family Naturals has an unrefined one that is available through Amazon.com.

• La Tourangelle Avocado Oil is the best selling avocado oil at Amazon.com. It is handcrafted from premium fresh avocados. This emerald green oil has a fine fruity roundness that makes it lovely for both sweet and savory applications. On salads, it contributes a hint of avocado flavor, and it is wonderful drizzled over slices of grapefruit and melon. It has a 500°F smoke point (the highest of any extra virgin oil) making it useful for any application (stir-frying, frying, sautéing). It is eligible for free shipping.

• Roland White Truffle Oil is a highly fragrant infusion of white truffle flavor in extra virgin olive oil. Imported from Italy, this product is golden in color and has an intense, earthy, flavor. White Truffle Oil should be used sparingly due to its intense flavor. A little goes a long way. Buy at Amazon.com where it ships free. Be careful. Some truffle oils are not paleo. The most popular one at Amazon.com is based on grapefruit seed oil. Fruit seeds are not supposed to be digested, but to pass through and still be viable. They would never have been a food.

• Roland Black Truffle Oil is a product of Italy. The ingredients include extra virgin olive oil, black truffle (tuber aestvum vin), black truffle aroma. Suggested serving size is 1 tbsp. Buy at Amazon.com where it ships free.

    Other Nut Oils

• Brookfarm Natural in Australia makes the bestselling Macadamia Nut Oil at Amazon.com. It has a nutty sweet taste. The 410°F smoke point is fairly high, making this good for high temperature cooking. It is eligible for free shipping.

• La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil is the bestselling Walnut Oil at Amazon.com. Adds a rich walnut taste to salad dressing, baking, and grilled meat or fish. Add towards the end of your beef bourguignon or meat dishes. Good with apples and pears. One of the highest natural sources of Omega 3. Suitable for medium-high heat and perfect for sautéing. It is eligible for free shipping.

• La Tourangelle Roasted Hazelnut Oil is the bestselling Hazelnut Oil at Amazon.com. Adds a rich hazelnut taste to salad dressing, baking, and grilled meat or fish. It goes better with lemon juice than with vinegar. Suitable for medium-high heat (smoke point 430°F) and perfect for sautéing. It is eligible for free shipping.

• La Tourangelle Roasted Almond Oil is the bestselling Almond Oil at Amazon.com. Adds a rich almond taste to salad dressing, baking, and grilled meat or fish. With a fresh roasted almond flavor, the oil reveals subtle nuances when combined with other ingredients. Its delicate character makes it a good substitute for olive oil in cases where walnut oil and hazelnut oil are just too powerful. Almond oil is very popular in India with duck and curry, and in China it is also used with chicken and duck. Suitable for medium-high heat (smoke point 420°F) and perfect for sautéing. It is eligible for free shipping.

• La Tourangelle Roasted Pecan Oil is the bestselling Pecan Oil at Amazon.com. Adds a rich pecan taste to salad dressing, baking, and grilled meat or fish.

    Fish Oils

• The benefits of Krill Oil have been touted by Michael Eades, MD in Why krill oil? and on many other websites. It is an extract from Antarctic krill that is rich in cell membrane building blocks and considered better than regular fish oil. You can buy by price, as it all comes from the same source. I have found that it is cheaper at Amazon.com than at my food coop. Buy a couple, or something else, and you get free shipping.

• Carlson Fish Oil is considered one of the best. It is available in many forms and sizes. This search here has it by bestselling items. I like the convenience of capsules. I take one of this a day along with one of the krill oil. See all at: Amazon.com. The capsules I buy are not shipped by Amazon, but shipping is only $0.99. It is an excellent price. You can use this Fish Oil Calculator to see how many capsules Robb Wolf believes one should take.

• Vitamin D3 in Wild Salmon Oil. This Vitamin D3 comes in a base of Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil, which is naturally rich in Vitamin D3 and certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council. Each 300 mg softgel contains 60 mg of omega-3s, including 46 mg of EPA & DHA along with the Vitamin D3.

    Animal Fats

• Pure Indian Foods is a family-owned New Jersey farm that makes organic ghee from grass-fed cows. Read on their website about the high standards they follow. Now dairy isn’t usually considered paleo, but ghee has almost all of the protein and lactose removed and one is left with a high smoke-point fat. You can buy through Amazon.com.

• Stocked and shipped by Amazon.com is Nanak Ghee. I was unable to find a manufacturer’s website. Grass is pictured on the label. I can only assume that the cows are grass-fed. At Amazon.com you have the choice of two sizes: 56 ounce and 28 ounce. Eligible for free shipping.

• Duck Fat is tasty and recommended for cooking, as olive oil breaks down at a relatively low temperature. Use as a substitute for butter or frying oil. All but the first are imported from France. None are shipped by Amazon.

  Hudson Valley Rendered Duck Fat: 1 Gallon

  Rougie Duck Fat

  D’Artagnan Duck Fat

  Graisse De Canard Duck Fat

  Rendered Duck Fat

• Suet is the fat from around the kidneys. It is much more saturated than regular fat (called tallow here) and is the fat that traditionally was used to make pemmican. If you make your own pemmican you should use this.

  Beef Suet - 5 lb bags. Course ground.

  Lamb Suet - 2 lb bags.

• Tallow Shortening, grass-fed. Beef tallow is what McDonald’s used to fry their French Fries in. The beef flavor made them the best. But then the saturated fat police made them change to fake hydrogenated oils. Now potatoes aren’t paleo, but there are paleo foods that can be fried.

  Grass-Fed Beef - 2.25 lb container. Lamb - 2.25 lb container.

  Grass-Fed Beef - 5 gallow pail.

• Grass-Fed Beef Marrow Bone Stock is a recipe direct from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cook book. This super healthy marrow stock adds both taste bud stimulating flavor and the well know health benefits of bone marrow from grazing animals. This stock will add zest to soups, chilli, meat loaf, burger and many other delicious meat recipes.

  14 oz. container. 2.4 pound pail. 5 pound pail (save 20%).

Nut butters can be used as a paleo snack. A popular way is dipping a stick of celery or carrot in. When creating this section I looked at many nut butters. I found that many are not pure. Often sugar and salt were added. Some have milk. Some have peanut oil. And one even had wheat in it! Then Amazon.com lists many that are not available. Following are the available paleo ones I found:

• Fastachi has a line of nut butters that you buy from Amazon, but Fastachi ships. This will ensure that they are fresher than having sat in some Amazon.com warehouse for months. Five of them are paleo, and all of them are pure. Try a sampler of one of each. Shipping starts at $7 and slowly increases by total dollars of the order. Fastachi is also a seller of nuts.

  Roasted Almond Butter

  Roasted Hazelnut Butter

  Roasted & Lightly Salted Pecan Butter

• Some people want to buy almond flour in bulk and store it in the freezer. These are available through Amazon.com:

  Almond Powder Raw/Unblanched, in 25 lbs

  Bob’s Red Mill Blanched Almond Meal/Flour, 25-Pound

• DigestiveWellness.com in Spring Valley, NY sells a variety of nut flours, including almond, hazelnut, cashew, pecan, Brazilian, coconut and walnut. They also have a few dried fruits and nut butters. The store specializes in Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) products and has some meals (e.g. cashew and walnut) that are not available through Amazon.com.
• GourmetStore.com in Gurnee, IL specializes in gourmet items, especially unusual and hard-to-locate dried items. See a variety of chile powders, and roasted chestnut and hazelnut flours. Everything ships for free, and sizes tend to be large.

• Green Valley Pecan Meal (and many other pecan products) is available from the Pecan Store.

• Honeyville Food Products provides wholesale food ingredients to the food service industry (hence large sizes). Of interest to us is their two almond flours (blanched and natural) in five pound bags. Also see Freeze Dried Fruits and Vegetables in Cans. Can buy online here. The almond flours are at Amazon.com, and the blanched one ships free.

• Lucy’s Kitchen Shop sells blanched super fine ground almond flour. It is as fine as real flour, which you can’t get elsewhere. They get a listing here as they sell the almond flour in sizes up to 25 pounds for a most reasonable price. Shipping for 25 lbs ranges from $14-29, depending on how far you are from them in California. You can store it in the freezer.

• Pastacheese sells chestnut flour, though it is cheaper at Amazon.com.

• Nantucket Off-Shore sells a line of rubs in tins (and maybe single serve packets in the future). There are 13 different ones. Each is named for a location, where that spice combination is popular. Just brush on some olive oil, rub the spices in and cook. No salt. The Rasta one has sugar. The website has a store locator, or you can buy at Amazon.com where they are eligible for free shipping.

• The Colorado Spice Company has about 40 different spice rubs. Most, but not all, are pure spices that are paleo. Many are organic. They are labeled by suggested usage.

JR ships and charges $3.49 + 1.39/lb. Save money by ordering multiple items at the same time. Each is available in a variety of sizes. There are way too many to describe on this page, so find them here: Dried Mushrooms available through Amazon.com.

• Tomatoes are paleo questionable. People with autoimmune diseases should avoid foods in the nightshade family because they contain certain antinutrients (natural toxins used by plants to kill insects, fungi and other threats) that act as adjuvants (immune stimulators) which promote leaky gut syndrome. That said, dried tomatoes are useful to add intense tomato flavor when you don’t have fresh. They can be used in soups, casseroles, or a light sauté with vegetables. You can add dry to stir-fries. Looking at the offerings at Amazon.com I find many with non-paleo additives, like Sulfur Dioxide for color retention, and glucose. Only the pure ones are listed below. To see all in a search: Amazon.com dried tomatoes.

  Barry Farms Tomato Flakes

  Barry Farms Tomato Powder

  JR Sun Dried Tomatoes

  JR Sun Dried Tomatoes - Sprinkles

• Barry Farms sells many dried vegetables. I decided to focus here on their vegetable powders. Barry Farms suggests for all of these using the powders to replace some of the flour in breads and baked goods to produce some interesting foods. Except they aren’t paleo! Also suggested for all (except the white artichoke powder) is using as a natural colorant. To see all they sell at Amazon.com: Barry+Farm+dried+vegetables. Below in order by rank at Amazon.com.

  Red Beet Powder

  Carrot Powder

  Pumpkin Powder

  Spinach Powder

  Asparagus Powder

  Jalapeno Pepper Powder

  Artichoke Powder

• It would be better to give up all caffeine, but let’s be realistic. The most paleo would be green tea, as this is simply dried tea leaves. (Not coffee, as it is a seed inside a fruit and is not edible raw. Fruit seeds are not supposed to be digested, but to pass through and still be viable. They would never have been a food.) If you look at Amazon’s Bestsellers in Green Teas you will find bottled green tea and matcha head the list. Matcha is a finely-milled Japanese green tea used in tea ceremonies. Presumably it sells well at Amazon as it isn’t readily available locally.

  Loose tea is cheaper than tea bags. If you are at work, bags are convenient, but when at home using loose tea is no hassle at all. And many more varieties are available. Simply use an inexpensive tea infuser and stick into the mug. I heat my mug water in the microwave. Besides knowing the exact time needed, it also heats the mug. The best selling organic leaves at Amazon.com is Rishi Tea Organic Jasmine Pearl Loose Tea, which ships free.

  Green tea bags should be easier to find locally. The bestselling at Amazon.com is Bigelow Organic Green Tea Bags. Bags are sealed for freshness in airtight, flavor protecting fresh packs. Certified 100% USDA Organic. It is eligible for free shipping.

Pumpkin, which is paleo, tends to get sweetened and used mostly in non-paleo foods. But pumpkin puree works fine in soups. It can be added to paleo chili. Here are recipes (which may need slight adaptation to make orthodox paleo): paleo pumpkin muffins and paleo pumpkin pancakes and Paleo Pumpkin Pudding Recipe. This is one of the bestselling natural foods at Amazon: Farmer’s Market Foods Organic Canned Pumpkin, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12), and it ships free.

• Willamette Valley Fruit Company produces an extensive line of Frozen Fruit. Many varieties that you won’t find in your local health food store. Now Amazon.com doesn’t usually sell perishable foods. So I was surprised to find these. See all of them at Amazon.com (sorted by bestselling). Prices include free expedited shipping.

• SweetTree Sustainable Sweeteners makes Organic Evaporated Palm Sugar, which is simply evaporated palm nectar. See Wikipedia article on it: coconut palm sugar. But best is to get all sweets out of your diet and get over it.

• Wedderspoon Raw Organic Manuka Honey Active 16+ from New Zealand. Honey is only paleo in very small quantities. It would have been hard to collect without protective clothing. And, of course, it would have been organic and raw. I included this one for those that are unable to give up sweets. It is the bestselling honey at Amazon.com, where it ships free. An activity of 16+ is laboratory tested by an independent laboratory to be equivalent to a 16% antiseptic solution. It is chemical free, pesticide free, antibiotic free, and GMO free. Hives are made from environmentally friendly material. Each jar is traceable back to the master beekeeper. Area of forage is 5km from intensive farming.

• I am not big on honey. Having given up all sweets I find it overly sweet. But growing up we ate sourwood honey, which I can assure you is the best. Sourwood honey is considered one of the world’s rarest and finest honeys. This is a complex honey with a beautiful caramel shade. It is only harvested in the Autumn, high in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It has a gingerbread taste with a hint of maple and spice, making it an award-winner and very sought after. Savannah Bee’s is 100% pure, raw honey. It is generally only available in Autumn, but there is stock through Amazon.com.

• Really Raw Honey is totally unprocessed, unheated, and unstrained, so it still contains all the pollen, propolis, enzymes, and trace minerals. Creamy, smooth and spreadable, Really Raw Honey is more solid than liquid and each jar is capped with crunchy bits of honeycomb, pollen and propolis. Available at: ShopOrganic and Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Sunny Acres Raw Honey Pure, natural, unheated honey from Sunny Acres’ bees. Raw honey has long been used for healing wounds and as a preservative, due to its antibacterial properties. Truly raw honey will crystallize, while heated honey will remain in a liquid state along with losing the healthy benefits of raw.

• Wild Hawaiian Raw Honey. Pure, raw and unfiltered honey produced in Hawaii. Never heated. “From bees to bottles and nothing in bee-tween.” One 12 oz. squeeze bottle.

• Coombs Family Farms produces 100% Pure Certified Organic Maple Syrup. This is another pseudo-paleo item that will interest those that are unable to give up sweetness. This is the bestselling at Amazon.com, where it is available in a variety of grades and sizes.

• Now I don’t consider any of these to be particularly paleo. But at least they are a more natural sweetener than what is more commonly available. These three are from Barry Farm Foods. Amazon.com stocks date sugar and maple sugar and honey granules in other brands, many of which are eligible for free shipping.

  Date Sugar is dehydrated dates that are ground up. It does not dissolve well, but is a substitute for brown sugar in cooking.

  Pure Maple Sugar is dehydrated maple syrup. You can sprinkle on foods for a real pure maple flavor.

  Honey Granules consists of small, dry, rough cut pellets of honey, about the size of a pin head. The size is perfect for hot and cold beverages.

• SeaBear Smoked Salmon Trio offers 3 individually boxed portions, each containing 6 oz smoked salmon (18 oz total).

• Dried grated tuna roe is a specialty from Italy. Sprinkled on food it adds an intense fish flavor. It is simply salted roe dried in the sun. Buy through Amazon.com. For more money you can also buy whole Tuna Roe Grey or Mullet Roe (which is milder) and slice or grate it yourself.

• Charleston Seafood sells many wild caught fishes, shrimp, lobster, and shellfish from their website. Shipped overnight. Site also has recipes, and preparation and cooking tips.

• Fresh Whole Leaf Irish Moss (Raw, Wildcrafted), or carrageen moss, is a species of seaweed which grows abundantly along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coast of Europe and the Americas as well as parts in the Pacific. It is wonderful for thickening. You do have to clean it, as it is full of sand and some sea debris. Available through Amazon.com.

• Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Inc. offer several organically certified varieties: Alaria/Wakame, Dulse, Kelp/Kombu, Laver/Nori, and Nori. This is an excellent source of iodine. Also available in granules. Available online at ShopOrganic and TrueFoodsMarket and ShopRawFoods and Natural Zing and Amazon.com, where it is eligible for free shipping.

• Eden Organic Foods has a line of Sea Vegetables. Many are hand harvested from the wild in Japan and those are the ones shown below. Some others are cultivated (like Nori).

• Winter Black French Truffles - Brushed. Black winter truffles are far superior to their summer cousins. There is a long pause between the time a truffle reaches full size and the time when it fully matures. Summer truffles are less flavorful since they are dug up before the full maturation period is reached in the winter months. This 1 oz jar is the smallest, and consequently cheapest, of the French truffles I could find at Amazon.com. Note there are much cheaper and inferior truffles that are Tuber Indicum which come from China. Deceptively they will still be called a product of France. For obvious reasons you will see they outsell on Bestsellers in Truffles.

• 3-Corner Field Farm, on the border of NY and Vermont, sells grass-fed lamb.

• Acording to Wikipedia’s page on Prosciutto, it is sometimes cured with nitrites. This means, of course, that some isn’t. So I have been trying to figure out which ones would then be paleo. Correspondence from Academia Barilla has found that their Prosciutto di Parma D.O.P. Boneless does not contain any nitrites/nitrates. You can buy an entire leg through Amazon.com. Now this isn’t cheap, but would make a great meat to serve at a party.
