LUNA Tea Cakes bars have a 9-month shelf life. Please enjoy your LUNA Tea Cakes before the “Best By” date on the back of the wrapper.
In recent years, we’ve learned more about the potential health benefits of tea and we are excited to share them with you. Along with soothing the soul, tea may help prevent cancer, protect against heart disease, lower cholesterol, slow the aging process, boost the immune system, help in losing weight, and prevent cavities.
Tea’s greatest health benefits come from antioxidants, the most potent of which are polyphenols. The antioxidants (vitamins, minerals and enzymes) and polyphenols found in most teas are thought to help the body defend against free radicals. Cell damage caused by free radicals can contribute to aging, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. There are many studies that show that drinking tea, along with a balanced diet and exercise, can help reduce the risk for these and other diseases.A free radical is a molecule that becomes highly reactive and destructive due to contact with outside stimuli such as sunlight, pollution, smog, stress, lack of sleep. In an effort to find stability, free radicals steal an electron from a molecule in a nearby cell. Allowed to go on their merry way, free radicals damage cells and interfere with their normal functioning. Once a cell is damaged and not repaired, it can die or reproduce incorrectly.
We estimate the ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) value, the standard for antioxidant value, of LUNA Tea Cakes ranges from 1500-2800 depending on the flavor. For perspective, the ORAC for a cup of blueberries is 3200. The FDA has recently suggested that Americans increase their consumption of antioxidants to 7000 ORAC units daily, which is 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables. This may contribute to overall good health and help curb the cancer epidemic. LUNA Tea Cakes, which contain antioxidant-rich tea and other ingredients like blueberries, are a great way to help get you there.
White tea is the rarest and least processed of all teas, offering lower caffeine content than green or black tea. Painstakingly hand-plucked from China’s Fujian Province only two days each spring—right before the leaf opens—the pure downy white buds are highly prized. The harvest is so small and the demand so high, making it the world’s most distinctive and most expensive tea. Red tea, also referred to as Rooibos (pronounced “ROY-boss”), is an herb grown in South Africa and makes a vibrant red-colored tea. The name Rooibos is African slang for the Dutch word for "red bush." South Africans consider it "a wonder herb” for its healing properties. Unlike true "tea," it is naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins. Recent studies have found that Rooibos is full of polyphenols and flavonoids, which help to protect the body from free radical damage to the immune system.
We estimate that each LUNA Tea Cakes serving contains about 15mg of caffeine, almost 20% that of a cup of regular coffee, which is contains about 80mg of caffeine.
95% of LUNA Tea Cakes’ ingredients are certified organic. All Clif Bar & Company products have some organic content as we believe organic ingredients are better for you and the planet.Organically-grown ingredients preserve the nutritional value of food, and they’re free of residues from toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, and antibiotics. Organic standards also prohibit irradiating or genetically altering food—the effects of which are still largely unknown.
LUNA Tea Cakes are a good source of ALA Omega-3 (alpha linolenic acid) per serving from organic flaxseed, 10% of the daily value or 0.13g. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that they body can not produce and must consume from food. ALA is a converted Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DHA) – forms of Omega-3s 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.
