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.

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

White cane sugar has lots of calories but zero nutrients. No vitamins, minerals or fiber is left. You can also call it „empty calories“, which do more harm than good to a human body. Unfortunately, the food industry adds cane sugar to the majority of products. At Naturally PAM we decided not to use it. Coconut blossom sugar also has a lower glycemic index than white cane sugar.

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.

What is the glycemic index?

The glycemic index is a measure of the effect a carbohydrate-containing food has on blood sugar levels. The higher the value, the faster the food causes blood sugar levels to rise.

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.
