Vitalin Celebrates Passion Fruit Fiber Success in Brazilian Market
Dedicated to bring nutritional and functional foods to the Brazilian diet, Vitalin celebrates the success of its passion fruit flour.
The passion fruit peel flour is a high-fiber type of food that slows gastric emptying and controls the release of glucose into the bloodstream when added to meals.
These benefits are due to the high concentration of pectin, a type of soluble fiber. Scientific studies show when ingested, this substance forms a gel that hinders the glucose and carbohydrates absorption in the digestive system and fat, contributing to reduced rates of glucose and cholesterol.
The composition of pectin also contains phosphorus, which contributes to ‘cell turnover’, calcium for strong bones and teeth, besides iron and vitamin B3 to help in energy gain (absorption).
Nutritionists show that the consumption of 4 tablespoons of passion fruit fiber is enough to meet the daily needs of an adult. Vitalin recommends some interesting variations such as the addition of fiber passion fruit in juices, vitamins, over hot meals as well as adding it to cake, bread and biscuit mixes.
