Nutritional values
The low-fat bar is ideal for curbing ravenous appetite or combating a lack of concentration. Amaranth has all nine essential amino acids, the indispensable building blocks for body protein, and thus provides us with high-quality protein. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium and iron.
When buying dried pineapple, make sure that you get the pure, unsweetened fruit that has not been treated with preservatives.
