Tropical Fruit Nutri-Berries for birds are nutritionally balanced like pellets, just not ground up. Both pellets and Nutri-Berries contain seeds and grains. In pellets, they are finely ground into powder before being formed into a pellet. Most of the seeds and grains in Nutri-Berries are kept whole because Dr. Lafeber discovered how to nutritionally balance them like pellets without grinding. By hulling the seeds and grains and then coating them with stabilizing vitamins, chelated minerals and amino acids, your bird receives premium nutrition. Plus, unground seeds and grains provide the benefit of whole foods like parrots have in the wild. No artificial flavors or colors. What you see is what you get. When you see an orange bit of fruit in the Tropical Nutri-Berries, it is real papaya. The yellow pineapple is the real deal ~ not something artificially flavored or colored and made to look or smell like fruit.
