Ingredients (11)
- Wholegrain Oats (53%) (safe) — Whole grain, high in beta-glucan fibre; the backbone of the product.
- Dates (safe) — Whole dried fruit — the binder and sole sugar source, bringing fiber and potassium along with the sweetness.
- Chicory Root Fibre (safe) — Prebiotic inulin fibre; feeds gut bacteria, though large amounts can cause bloating.
- Seeds (Sunflower, Brown Linseed) (safe) — Whole seeds providing healthy fats, fibre and protein.
- isolated soy protein (moderate) — Refined isolated protein driving the bar's protein number; industrial but effective.
- Skin On Hazelnuts (2%) (safe) — Whole nuts adding healthy fats and flavor.
- Dried Carrot (safe) — Whole vegetable, adds fibre and micronutrients.
- Cocoa Powder / Cocoa Paste (2% each) (safe) — Real cocoa, source of polyphenols; provides the chocolate flavor.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (safe) — Cold-pressed olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fat and polyphenols. A staple culinary fat, not a food to eat by the spoonful.
- quinoa (safe) — Whole grain, trace amount.
- Natural Flavourings (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor compounds added to make refined spread taste buttery.
