Raw Bars: A growing trend in healthy snacking

In recent years, the search for healthy alternatives to industrialised snacks has grown exponentially. 

Indeed, consumers are increasingly aware and want options that combine flavour, versatility and nutrition, without compromising on the quality and authenticity of the ingredients. And it is in this scenario that natural bars have gained prominence.

Throughout this article we'll explore what defines a natural bar and why we've included this category in our portfolio.

What are Raw Bars?

Raw bars are practical snacks made from minimally processed ingredients such as dried fruit, nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts), seeds, cereals, particularly oats, and natural sweeteners. They are also often referred to as ‘natural bars’.

Unlike other more traditional bars, these options don't use artificial additives, refined sugars or preservatives, offering a nutritious and more authentic eating experience.

Main Features of Raw Bars:

- Simple, familiar ingredients

- No added white sugar

- No Artificial Preservatives

- With Nutritional Benefits: Rich in fibre, protein and healthy fats.

 

Why are Raw Bars a Balanced Choice?

1. Natural and sustained energy

Due to their high fibre, healthy fat and protein content, raw bars release energy gradually, preventing sudden spikes and drops in blood glucose. This helps prevent feelings of fatigue, promotes a longer-lasting feeling of satiety and maintains more stable energy levels throughout the day.

Its fibre content also helps to promote intestinal health.

 

2. A Practical Option for Every Moment

Raw bars are ideal for a quick snack when you're on the move, as a pre-workout meal or even for an energy boost between work meetings.

Nutritious and easy to carry, they fit perfectly into your daily routine.
