Containing the juice of 13 different vegetables, SuperVeg XS is ideal for those who live a hectic lifestyle or simply cannot find a way to consume sufficient vegetables in their daily diet.

Over 10kg of vegetables are required to make just 1kg of SuperVeg XS. You need only 8g of this highly concentrated powder to provide you with 1 serving of the recommended 5 a day fruit or vegetable intake. SuperVeg XS contains all the nutrients found in fresh vegetables including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is completely NON GMO.

A recent government survey showed that 74% of adults, and 87% of children, consume less than 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. It is well documented that these 5 portions are necessary to help support a healthy body and to reduce the likelihood of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and cancer.

As SuperVeg XS contains whole food actives, as opposed to extracts, it offers many of the same benefits as consuming the vegetables in their normal solid form.

SuperVeg XS provides a hugely convenient method of consuming vegetables. It can be used in a number of ways for convenience and taste including its inclusion in smoothies, soups, broths and any other food stuff requiring vegetable flavouring.

SuperVeg XS contains the following vegetable powders:

Carrot
Red Beet
Mushroom
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Green Cabbage
Celeriac
Leek
Onion
Cucumber
Asparagus
Red Bell Pepper
Garlic

?

Hi,

The carbohydrate content of the SuperVeg XS is as follows:
Carbohydrates: 84g/100g
of which sugar 22g/100g (glucose: 4g/100g, fructose:4.2g/100g, saccharose: 1.3g/100g),
of which starch: 60g/100g

We hope this helps.

Cheers MP. Hmmm, so by 60g Starch - do you mean digestible starch (that will eventually be turned by the body's digestive enzymes into sugars & therefore an source of energy/calories) or indigestible starch - ie fibre please?
