- Has a high level of soluble fibre for digestion and also helps reduce blood cholesterol.
- Contains slow release carbohydrates to keep energy levels up and blood sugar levels down
- High in vitamin B6, E, essential fatty acids, folic acid and manganese
- Surprisingly good source of proteins, 16% is quite an impressive number!
