cerealA healthy source of carbohydrate that is high in fibre (10.6g per 100g) and low in sodium. Helps to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels and a great source of B complex vitamins. Oats can contain traces of gluten as well as other proteins that coeliacs may react to, however, most can digest easily and eat as part of a gluten-free diet.
spicesA spice that is used all over the world! Our cinnamon is true Sri Lankan cinnamon. There are two kinds of cinnamon, Ceylon/ true and cassia/fake cinnamon. True cinnamon not only has a better, more unique flavour but it also holds all the nutritional benefits that cassia doesn't. True cinnamon is extremely high in antioxidants and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is also said to lower cholesterol, supports healthy levels of blood sugars, and has anti-cancer antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
