New and Improved Green Chunks!   

Less Crumbling!    

Green Chunks

Green chunks are one of our most popular products. A great way to get some very nutritious leafy greens into your parrot's diet as well as all of the other seeds, grains, and fruits they have in them (go here for a list of ingredients or to order).  We hear nothing but good comments from our customers about them. But still, we want to make them even better. We know from our own use that there are always some crumbs in the bottom of the bag.  Depending on how shipping went from our facility to your home, there may be more some months than others.  Many of you use the crumbs to sprinkle over fresh foods or add to a birdie bread or mash. BUT we want that to be an option, not something you are doing because there are lots of crumbs there you feel you don't want to waste. So we have added a bit of tapioca flour and some xanthan gum to the chunks to help them hold together better.  

Tapioca comes from the root of the cassava or yucca plant.  It is not a grain and is gluten free.  If you want to read more about it, there is information on Lance Armstrong's Livestrong site.   Xanthan gum is a high fiber carbohydrate used as a thickener. Lance Armstrong's Livestrong site also has information about xanthan gum.
