MORE ON THE INGREDIENTS
ESSENTIAL FOR A HEALTHY AND BALANCED DIET
LONG-GRAINED WHITE RICE
Benefits include the fact that your blood sugar will not rise as rapidly. Low glycaemic index carbs produce a steadier rise in blood sugar and the fibre in these foods helps you feel more full to keep you satisfied longer.
LENTILS
A super-food, high in protein and fibre and low in fat. They are also packed with iron, phosphorus, potassium and fibre. Protein helps your body repair cells and make new ones. It is essential for growth and development in children, teens and pregnant women. It is food for the brain. Without it, we cannot concentrate, absorb information, let alone retain it. And like the rice, it helps to keep you fuller for longer.
DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES
Provide the taste and the essential fibre to keep our system running efficiently.
