What is Carob?

It is a powder made from the bean-like pods of the carob tree. With its aromatic and sweet taste, carob is a great alternative to cocoa. It is also low in fat and high in fiber.

Why do we use coconut blossom sugar?

Coconut blossom sugar is extracted from the blossoms of the coconut palm and is an alternative to white cane sugar. You can use it just like cane sugar. It has the advantage of a particularly pleasant and soft sweetness. Coconut blossom sugar gives your products and dishes a delicious caramel taste. For us, this is one reason why we only use sugar from the coconut blossom in our products.

What's the difference between coconut sugar and coconut syrup?

Coconut syrup has a fine caramel note. The sap of the coconut blossom is tapped and simply boiled down as syrup. The process itself is very sustainable, as the tree is still left with enough resources for coconut production.

How do I dispose of the packaging?

We used compostable materials for the Clean Protein Bars. The film consists of cellulose and PLA, which is obtained from lactic acid. The PLA layer is absolutely necessary to seal the protein bar well and to protect it from drying out. That doesn't happen with pure chocolate for example or our chocolate chips. Therefore, we use a pure cellulose film there. PLA is unfortunately only optimally compostable under industrial conditions, which is why you should not throw the film on your garden compost. The Bio Waste Guideline currently prohibits the disposal of compostable packaging in the green organic waste bin - unfortunately. We hope that waste management will continue to develop in the future, because theoretically, our film could be disposed together with organic waste. According to the current regulations in Germany, you have to use the recycling bin, as compostable foil is treated the same as plastic foil. We hope for quick changes in the guidelines!

Why is this packaging better?

The packaging is bio-based and plastic-free. It is obtained from renewable resources. This means that no fossil fuels are required for production - the main criticism of classic plastic.
