3 At Last, Good Fat!TM

4 Hard to believe? Not anymore At Last, Good Fat!TM because not all fats are created equal. By good fat, we mean Melt is the perfect blend of the healthiest fats and oils that have been carefully chosen to be totally delicious and to deliver real health benefits. Melt is a great tasting, organic butter alternative that supports healthy weight when replacing other fats in your daily diet. Melt is an excellent source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs) the good fats that our bodies burn as energy instead of storing as fat. MCFAs are recognized as good fat because they are readily absorbed, easily digested and converted to energy. Melt is the better spread for a healthy lifestyle because it s made with organic oils that are good for you. Butter, margarine and virtually all other butter substitutes that contain either hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils have been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes type II and other deadly illnesses. Melt s unique blend of organic ingredients, by contrast, offers a wealth of attractive benefits. In addition to supporting healthy weight, the blend of oils in Melt support thyroid function and metabolism, gastro-intesinal health, optimal nutrient absorption and heart health. All of our organic oils are ethically sourced to ensure optimal healthful qualities, social responsibility and sustainable farming practices. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

6 Rich and Creamy Melt Provides Perfect Blend of Healthy Fats and Oils All natural butter substitute features organic virgin coconut, flaxseed and palm fruit oils At Last, Good Fat! BOISE, IDAHO For all of us seeking a healthier option to butter or margarine without compromising taste, Rich and Creamy Melt is the great tasting, organic alternative that supports healthy weight when replacing other fats in your daily diet. At Last, Good Fat! By good fat, we mean the perfect blend of the healthiest fats and oils. Hard to believe? Not all fats are created equal! Rich and creamy organic Melt is an excellent source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs) the good fats that we burn as energy instead of storing as fat. Each organic ingredient in Melt has been carefully chosen so that Melt tastes delicious and is good for you. Melt can be spread on hearty breads, melted over asparagus or broccoli, or used just like olive oil or butter in your favorite recipes. Prosperity Organic Foods Founder, Cygnia Rapp, developed Melt after she was diagnosed with digestive disorders that took the fun and the flavor out of eating. After being placed on a restrictive diet, Cygnia set out to create a better butter substitute. Through extensive research into healthy fats and oils, she came up with the perfect blend: featuring virgin organic coconut, flaxseed, palm fruit, and canola oils which ultimately became Melt. It began with my desire to enjoy food again, says Cygnia. My quest for healthier options uncovered the truth about fats and oils. I created Melt with a unique blend of organic ingredients to be delicious (making my taste buds happy) and to deliver a wealth of health benefits (making my body happy). Now I feel great and enjoy my favorite foods with rich and creamy Melt, of course. So go ahead and drizzle, spread, top, sauté you get the idea it s all good! About Prosperity Organic Foods, Inc. Prosperity Organic Foods, Inc. provides great tasting products of superior quality through innovative uses of healthy fats and oils that allow consumers to eat better, feel better and live better. Melt, launched in 2009 by founder Cygnia Rapp, is the company s debut product aimed at consumers seeking naturally great tasting and healthful food choices.

7 It began with my desire to enjoy food again. Digestive disorders meant giving up many of my favorites, including butter. My quest for healthier options uncovered the truth about fats and oils. I created Melt with a unique blend of organic ingredients to be delicious (making my taste buds happy) and to deliver a wealth of health benefits (making my body happy). Now I feel great and enjoy my favorite foods made with rich and creamy Melt, of course. Cygnia Rapp Founder and Chief Science Officer

8 The Rest of the Story They say necessity is the mother of invention. In the case of rich and creamy Melt buttery spread, it was a number of debilitating digestive disorders that afflicted Melt s creator, Cygnia (sig-nee-ah) Rapp. To manage the illness, doctors put her on a restrictive diet (no wheat, red meat, hard cheese, butter, peanut butter, and more) that severely limited her intake of fats and oils and quickly took the joy out of eating. As a person who loves food and cooking, Cygnia decided to fight back. Working out of her kitchen, she set out to create a butter alternative that would not only meet her health requirements but also satisfy her taste buds. She tirelessly researched fats and oils, uncovering a wealth of little-known information on the true nature of fats and oils and their influence on health and well-being. What Cygnia discovered became the basis for founding Prosperity Organic Foods: Not all saturated fats are bad for you! Our bodies need a combination of healthful saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats to maintain vitality. After months of research and experimentation, Cygnia settled on a recipe based on two critical organic oils (virgin coconut oil and flaxseed oil) that became the predecessor to Melt. Not only do these oils support digestive wellness, they also eliminate blood sugar swings resulting from hypoglycemia. Cygnia s discovery literally changed her life. Convinced of the health benefits and commercial potential of her discovery, Cygnia founded Prosperity Organic Foods and invested her life savings. Based on strong, positive response, Cygnia was able to attract investment to re-launch an even better tasting product under the Melt brand name. Melt proved to be a hit with consumers who are no longer faced with choosing between butter (delicious, but not healthy), butter substitutes (sometimes healthy, but definitely not delicious) or margarine (neither delicious nor healthy). At Last, Good Fat!

9 Organic Flaxseed Oil Organic Palm Fruit Oil Rich and creamy Melt is a great tasting, organic butter alternative that supports healthy weight when replacing other fats in your daily diet. Melt is the perfect blend of the healthiest fats and oils that we ve carefully chosen for you. Melt is a rich source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids (the good fats) that your body burns as energy instead of storing as fat, thereby boosting metabolism. Organic Canola Oil Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

10 The Perfect Blend: The Skinny on Our Oils ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL Organic virgin coconut oil (VCO) is possibly the healthiest, most versatile, unprocessed dietary oil. VCO is a stable, healthy saturated fat that does not elevate undesirable (LDL) cholesterol: VCO has no trans fats or cholesterol. It is rich in plant-based, healthy saturated fats called Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs), which are not immediately stored as fat but are used for energy. VCO is also nature s most abundant source of lauric acid, shown to reduce symptoms of digestive disorders; support overall immune functions; and help fight bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Extensive dietary research indicates components found in organic virgin coconut oil may boost metabolism, increase thyroid activity, promote weight loss, and provide optimal nutrient absorption. Plus, coconut oil has a similar melt point to butter making it perfectly suited for baking and cooking. ORGANIC FLAXSEED OIL One of the best sources of Omega-3s available. Over the past 60 years, clinical research has linked life-threatening diseases such as obesity, some forms of cancer, heart disease, and Diabetes Type II with a chronic deficiency of dietary Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Flaxseed oil has the highest concentration of Omega-3 in the plant kingdom and eating it can reverse Omega-3 deficiencies common in the American diet. Organic flaxseed oil is an essential component of Melt and ensures that every serving delivers the perfect balance of Omega 6s and Omega 3s, a ratio of 2:1. ORGANIC PALM FRUIT OIL Produced from the fruit of the palm not the palm s kernel, palm fruit oil contains very high amounts of carotenoids (13 to 15 times more than carrots and 40 to 50 times more than tomatoes) the antioxidants that our bodies convert to Vitamin A. In addition to supporting the immune system, heart health and good vision, Vitamin A may also provide protection from free-radical damage that some studies have linked to cancer. Palm fruit oil is also a good source of Vitamin E due to its high levels of tocopherols and tocotrienols, which are effective in removing damaging oxygen-free radicals from our bodies. Plus, palm fruit oil is odorless and tasteless, making it ideal for healthy baking and cooking. ORGANIC CANOLA OIL Canola oil, which is made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant, has the lowest saturated fat content of any oil commonly consumed in the U.S., at just 7%. Canola oil is a specifically bred (not genetically modified) variety of Rapeseed. It is an excellent source of the Omega-6 fatty acid, Linoleic acid, and Omega-3 fatty acid, Alpha-Linoleic Acid (ALA). These fats are particularly important because our bodies cannot produce them. Studies show that ALA may help protect the heart through its effect on blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation. Because of its light flavor and smooth texture, canola oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils.

13 Tips for Cooking and Baking with Melt Try Melt as a healthy alternative in all your cooking and baking! Because of its stability under heat (smoke point 350 F), Melt is slow to break down and oxidize making it ideal for baking and sautéing. Melt can be spread on hearty breads, melted over vegetables, or used just like olive oil or butter in your favorite recipes. TOPPINGS Blend Melt with chives for a great potato topper. Sauté nuts in Melt for a perfect salad, casserole or sundae topping. Dollop Melt on hot steamy vegetables. COOKING Sauté garlic and ginger in Melt, stir in a tablespoon of chili oil then add to your favorite stir fry, curry or Thai recipe. Drizzle Melt over grilled chicken, fish, vegetables or fruit instead of olive oil. Toss pasta in Melt instead of butter or olive oil. BAKING Great for pie crusts or pastries! Measure Melt, place in freezer for 15 minutes prior to use in baking this helps firm Melt to make it easier to cut into crusts, scones, pastries, etc. Substitute Melt for butter in your favorite graham cracker crust. Use Melt in any bar or cookie recipe. We love it for our Naughty Granola Bars! /recipes/ DIPPING Microwave Melt 15 seconds for artichoke dipping. Heat Melt with fresh lemon as a dipping sauce for shrimp, crab, clams or lobster. POPCORN Pop popcorn in Melt instead of oil for a delicious buttery flavor without the guilt. Drizzle Melt over your favorite popcorn. Blend Melt with your favorite spices for a savory popcorn treat. HOLIDAY Give your favorite dishes a delicious sweetness by topping them with Melt. Blend cinnamon, brown sugar and nutmeg with Melt for a tasty sweet potato topping. Just like butter, it is important to heat Melt slowly and not allow it to reach extremely high temperatures.
