I've been a big fan of this raw, plant-powered brand for years. By sprouting their sesame seeds, nutrients such as fiber can be increased. Also noteworthy? The star ingredient spirulina (the blue-green algae that lends for this bar's health nut look) which may offer cancer-prevention and blood pressure support, though more research is needed.
