Trans Fat Free
All products are trans fat free and have no hydrogenated oils. The trans fat acids behave as saturated fat, therefore they affect the cholesterol level and can cause cardiovascular diseases.
No Cholesterol
Our products have no cholesterol. A high level of cholesterol in the blood – hypercholesterolemia – is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack.
Sunflower Oil
Furthermore, our flour products have pure sunflower oil which is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. Sunflower oil of any kind has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits as well. Diets combined with a low fat content and high levels of oleic acid have been suggested to lower cholesterol, which, in turn, results in a smaller risk of heart disease. Sunflower oils fit this criteria. Studies of adults suggested that a balanced diet in which small quantities of saturated fats are replaced with sunflower oil has detectable cholesterol-reducing benefits. Research suggests that lower cholesterol levels can be caused by balances of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Sunflower oil may help with this balance.
Whole Grains
Our whole weat and multigrain tortillas have wholesome goodness and they feature the Whole Grain Good Source Stamp from the Whole Grains Council. Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by decreasing cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood coagulation. Other studies have also shown that people who consume more whole grains consistently weigh less than those who consumed less whole grain products.
Unbleached Flour
Consistent with its clean product policy, our products use unbleached flour which is aged and bleached naturally by oxygen in the air. It is more golden in color and preferred option among yeast breads.
