The cookie is made with a formulation of plant-based functional ingredients and is the first in Nutriient’s pipeline of low-GI food products. Low-GI food products release glucose more slowly into the bloodstream, which corresponds with a reduction in the occurrence of weight gain, obesity and corresponding chronic diseases, including diabetes. In addition to controlling blood sugar levels, Nutriient’s cookies have approximately 20 per cent less fat, lower calories and higher fibre content compared to other food products.
