All the truffles are dairy-free, diabetic-friendly, naturally sweetened, and certified organic and vegan, with a low glycemic index and no artificial preservatives. In addition to their health claims, the truffles also come in recyclable packaging. Last month, Native Gardens’ truffles became available at some Whole Foods stores and online at www.chocolate.com.
