Low in calories, sodium, trans fat and saturated fat, Edamame Bean Mix is vegan, heart-healthy, protein-rich and cholesterol-free – making it the ideal snack at home, in the office, during a workout, while enjoying the outdoors or on vacation. Seamlessly blending edamame, black soybeans, green fava beans and green peas, Edamame Bean Mix is made with avocado oil (no seed oils) and flavored with sea salt. Like all other Woodridge Snacks products, Edamame Brean Mix will be distributed across natural, grocery, and foodservice channels.

ALO Drink’s Original line takes natural aloe vera juice and pulp that’s harvested on the company’s organic farms and combines them with a splash of real fruit juices and other fine ingredients. ALO Original beverages are all Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and fat-free.
The winner of numerous industry awards and accolades over the years, ALO beverages use real aloe vera straight from the leaf harvested from sustainable farms in Thailand, and combines them with fruit and vegetable juices along with the very best and purest Non-GMO or organic ingredients.
Most recently, ALO Drink also added Passion Fruit and Sugarcane to its growing line of 100% Juice varieties. The new entries join such favorite flavors as Peach, Watermelon, Pineapple, Mango and Lychee, as well as two pulp-free Watermelon varieties.
Other brand options include ALO Sparkling, a unique line of all-natural sparkling aloe vera infused beverages available in 11.2 oz aluminum slim cans made with real fruit juice, no added sugar, and real minced aloe vera pulp.
In addition to the life-affirming flavor and all-natural wholesome goodness of every ALO product, the company has earned the enthusiastic support of retailers, distributors and consumers by virtue of its longstanding commitment to good citizenship and thoughtful environmentalism. Toward that end, ALO maintains close personal relationships with all of its farmers, follows strict sustainability practices, and never adds artificial ingredients to any of its products.
