Hail Merry products are all RAW VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE. They believe in the healing power of plant-based oils in their whole food raw state. Raw nuts and organic cold pressed coconut oil contain these healthy fats and are proven to improve cholesterol numbers, increase metabolism and provide an excellent source of fuel for the body.
They don’t use heated/processed oils, synthetic vitamins, soy fillers or stimulants, which flood the so- called nutritional performance snacks found on the market today. Hail Merry foods are 100% pure ingredients.
Hail Merry was created by a raw food chef who is passionate about bringing awareness to the prevalent use of vegetable oils used in baked snacks such as canola, soybean or sunflower which easily turn rancid or oxidize when they are exposed to heat and light. These rancid fats cause free radical damage to our cells, which ages the body and causes disease.
Raw & gluten-free food should taste great and not just be functional. We make snacks that truly are cravable - cravable because our bodies need the nourishment and because they taste amazing!
Hail Merry uses cold pressed organic coconut oil which:
Increases metabolism by stimulating the thyroid.
Is comprised of medium chain fats (as opposed to long chains found in animal fat), which provide quick burning fuel for the body and are not stored as body fat. Coconut oil is plant based and has zero cholesterol. Coconut oil actually reduces bad cholesterol. Coconut oil contains large amounts of Lauric acid, which is anti-viral and anti-bacterial, aiding our immune systems. Lauric acid is also prevalent in human breast milk, which is baby’s first line of defense. That is why coconut oil is used in baby formulas.
Hail Merry Uses Organic Maple Syrup and Raw Blue Agave’ to sweeten our foods:
Organic Maple Syrup is superior in flavor and is a rich source of: manganese, zinc and potassium - nature’s way of restoring balance to the body after exercise. We also use Raw Blue Agave’ in our Lemon products – known to be low glycemic.
Hail Merry Grawnola is suitable for Diabetics:
Hail Merry likes to substitute sweet with spices like cinnamon to add flavor.Cinnamon also slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Oat based granolas are VERY high in carbs. In some cases as high as 33 grams per serving. Hail Merry Grawnola is nut based rather than grain based so the carbs are much lower at 17 grams/serving. HM Grawnola only has 9 grams of sugar per serving. HM Grawnola has half the sugar and carbs of a Larabar and is also loaded with healthy omega fats from the nuts.
Hail Merry is Gluten Free:
Hail Merry uses gluten free buckwheat groats rather than oats in her Grawnola. Buckwheat groats are an easily digestible fruit seeds loaded with amino acids. At Hail Merry we are conscious of all the new gluten free products on the market, which are no better for you than their wheat counterparts. These new gluten free snacks may contain gluten free flours like rice or potato but they are still laden with processed oils, processed sugars and then baked to further oxidize the oils. “Just because a snack is gluten free doesn’t make it healthy”

Another product that Hail Merry sells are a variety of flavored pecans.
Orange Rosemary Pecans-3.5oz.
Hail Merry first soaks her nuts to activate the living enzymes, which aid in proper digestion. We then dehydrate at very low temperatures to protect these enzymes as well as the delicate essential fatty acids. Research suggests that eating about a handful of pecans each day can help lower cholesterol levels. Merry’s Orange Rosemary blend tastes of fresh pine, tangy orange and a touch of sea salt. Enjoy Hail Merry snacks and know that you are Feeding Your Body Royally. We celebrate our ingredients: Pecans, organic palm sugar, organic rosemary, organic orange flavor, sea salt.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRANS FATS:
Trans fats were created by modern technology to give processed foods a longer shelf life. Polyunsaturated fats oxidize quickly, so in order to make them perform more like a saturated fat, hydrogen is added through a process called “hydrogenation”. This chemically altered toxic trans fat is foreign to our bodies and has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and other degenerative diseases. Consuming as little as 3 grams (4 grams/donut) per day can be harmful.
Eating a diet free from hydrogenated oils is not as hard as you might think. Be smart, read your labels and know that Hail Merry snacks are trans fat free.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS:
Omega 3 & Omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered essential because we must obtain them from our diet. Did you know that Omega 3 is a highly effective anti-inflammatory good for preventing heart disease, arthritis and many other degenerative diseases? While we need Omega 3 & 6 to be healthy, we must strive for a ratio of 1:1 to 4:1 (Omega 6 to Omega 3). Typical American diets are 11 – 30 times more Omega 6 than Omega 3, which leads to cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis and autoimmune diseases. We also should consume these EFA’s in their raw, unheated whole food state in order to maximize their health benefits.
One of nature’s richest sources of essential fatty acids is found in raw nuts and seeds. Hail Merry granola is loaded with Omega 3 raw flax seeds & raw walnuts and is also properly balanced with Omega 6 raw sunflower seeds to keep your engine humming and your skin glowing.
POLYUNSATURATED FATS:
Polyunsaturated fats are just that highly “un-saturated”. Sounds good right? Polyunsaturated oils become toxic when they are exposed to oxygen, heat, or light through oxidation (unlike saturated fats which are more stable). This causes the oil to become rancid and laden with free radicals. Free radicals deplete our antioxidant reserves leading to tissue damage and disease.
We need polyunsaturated fats (omegas 3 & 6) in our diet to maximize health but oxidized versions contained in processed/heated oils can be very harmful. Hail Merry dehydrates her Grawnola 369 & Macaroons at 115 degrees in order to protect the healing polyunsaturated essential fatty acids.
MONOUNSATURATED FATS:
Monounsaturated fats (Omega 9) such as those found in raw macadamia nuts, raw almonds, cold pressed olive oil and avocados are very healing to the body. These Omega 9 fats are high in Oleic Acid. Oleic Acid is known to decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Hail Merry Macadamia Dip, Macaroons, Miracle Tart and Granola Royale are a rich source of these healthy monounsaturated fats.
CHOLESTEROL AND SATURATED FATS:
Cholesterol is only present in animals and humans. Human bodies actually manufacture cholesterol for proper hormone functioning. However excess cholesterol consumption can be very dangerous. Plant based fats like that of olive oil or coconut oil do NOT contain cholesterol. All Hail Merry Snacks contain zero cholesterol.
Coconut oil was wrongfully tainted as an artery clogging fat back in the 70’s. It actually is comprised mainly of Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCT’s). These MCT’s are liquid at 76 degrees and remain liquid in our bodies. They also quickly convert to energy and are most likely NOT going to be stored as body fat like long chain animal fats. Coconut oil is also very stable therefore does not oxidize easily to create free radical damage. Athletes consume 1-2 tablespoons of MCT’s before competitions for added energy! Coconut oil also contains Lauric Acid, known to be anti-bacterial/viral. How’s that for cleaning your engine! Coconut oil is what makes Hail Merry Macaroons and Miracle Tart so rich tasting. Hail Merry believes that plant based fats can heal your body if consumed in their raw whole food state. Food as medicine when consumed in reasonable quantities can and will heal the body!

I have been consuming coconut oil now for over two years and I LOVE it. I think that the benefits are amazing and if I had to choose between a oil, it would be coconut oil. When I read that Hail Merry uses coconut oil, I was sold! This company has it going on! I recommend the site and products highly!
Hope you enjoyed the review and come back for more news and reviews!
