SmarterNaturally soup crowned Healthy Aging Ingredient of the Year at NutraIngredients Awards 2023
“An exciting ingredient with well evidenced efficacy in a format that can be easily incorporated into ‘real’ foods to help the consumers overcome ‘tablet fatigue’; an essential element of effective supplementation, especially in an aging population.”
“…the star ingredient of its packet vegetable soup: a special type of broccoli first discovered growing wild in Sicily by the company’s lead scientist, Prof Richard Mithen.”
“…the bright green soup has a mild vegetable taste, like a mixture of broccoli and cauliflower. It may not be the culinary highlight of the week for most, but would not be hard to include in people’s diets.”
"The broccoli has been biofortified, or bred to be nutrient-
dense, rather than genetically modified."
“Maybe you can’t get people to eat five helpings
of fruit and vegetables a day,” but by
improving the quality of those we eat via fortified foods,
“you’re more likely to be healthy in old age and so reduce
costs for the healthcare system, and also have a better quality
of life.”
“Sipping any green soup is guaranteed to make you feel virtuous, but perhaps not quite as worthy as I feel drinking the once in front of me, which comes with an impressive stamp of approval for it’s health-boosting properties…”
“…It’s thicker and more flavourful than your average packet soup, and yet consumed once weekly has been shown to lower and maintain blood sugar levels to cut the risk of type-2 diabetes.”
