LUNA Sunrise contains a combination of heritage whole grains and inulin (chicory root) for a total fiber content of 5 grams per bar. When choosing whole grain carbohydrates it is important that they contain at least 3-5 grams of fiber serving to help you meet the recommend intake amount of 20-35 grams of fiber per day.Fiber plays an important role in keeping your cholesterol down, having a health digestive system, and when combined with protein, carbohydrates and fat - satisfying hunger.
LUNA Sunrise contains as much calcium as a glass of milk. Calcium is important for the body and healthy bones. Women generally get less than half of the calcium they need each day, and studies show that women who consume calcium in the morning are more likely to meet their total needs by the end of the day.
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is necessary for calcium absorption. Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin because sunlight stimulates the body to produce its own vitamin D. In the last few years vitamin D deficiency in women has been on the rise as women are shielding themselves from the sun to prevent sun damage to the skin. This is the reason the Food and Drug Administration has recently approved vitamin D fortification in some foods.

Heritage grains are heirloom grains and seeds that have been passed down for thousands of years from generation to generation. Some examples of heritage grains are: amaranth, quinoa, millet and spelt. Heritage grains are naturally rich in important nutrients such as protein, fiber, iron and many vitamins and minerals.
Amaranth was a staple in the diets of many ancient cultures. Amaranth is high in protein and fiber, contains calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins A and C. This grain has been grown in many areas of the globe including Mexico, Central America, India and Nepal. This is not actually a "true-grain", but rather a seed from the amaranth plant. It is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids.
Quinoa was called the “Mother Grain” by people of the Andean highlands. Delicately light, with a naturally fluffy texture. This grain has the highest protein content of all grains, containing most of the essential amino acids (unlike most grains). It is not actually a "true grain" since it is a seed from the quinoa plant, but it is eaten in the same manner that grains are eaten. It naturally contains high quantities of iron, B vitamins, and many minerals. It grows in cold climates such as high in the Andes Mountains or in areas of Canada or in mountainous regions of Colorado.
Omega-3's are an essential fatty acid that they body can not produce and must consume from food. Omega-3's can be found in fish, walnuts, and flaxseed. Most Americans do not consume enough Omega-3's. LUNA Sunrise contains a good source of Omega-3's from flaxseed which provide the alpha linoleic acid (ALA) form of omega-3's. ALA is a converted Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DHA) – forms of omega-3's that are readily used by the body. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests EPA and DHA can help to lower cholesterol and decrease inflammation both of which are associated with promoting heart health and may be related to other health conditions.
Yes, the Omega 3 is from organic flaxseed, which is all plant based.
No, there is no dairy in the LUNA Sunrise Strawberries & Crème bar.
Yes. All LUNA Sunrise bars are certified kosher by Kof-K.
