The very low sugar content (only 3.4g per 100g) allows you to enjoy natural ingredients and a genuine flavour.

6) Reduction of Sugars

Many standard foods contain very high quantities of sugars , simple, but above all refined, which alter the true flavor of ingredients and foods, focusing only on sweetness. Avoiding foods rich in refined sugars allows you to rediscover the real flavor of foods and enjoy every single ingredient without just tasting the quantity of sugars, which are bad for the body's health.

A natural choice means preferring ingredients with low sugar content , or without refined sugars, choosing those that contain natural sweeteners as an alternative.

The choice of foods with few and natural ingredients goes beyond the simple act of eating, but affects our health, and is a choice of sustainability .

Incorporating these foods into our daily diet can have a positive impact that allows us to have health and taste benefits, because we can enjoy real and genuine foods without the presence of sugars, additives and preservatives.

So, next time you hit the supermarket shelves, take a moment to reflect on the power of your food choices and choose quality, natural foods.
