Nutritional Panel

Why are carbohydrates so high?

On Nutrition Information Panels (NIPs), dietary fibre is legally counted as part of total carbohydrates.

In your product per 30 g serving:

• Total carbohydrates: 16.65 g
• Total dietary fibre: 18.12 g

This tells us something important: Almost all of the carbohydrates are fibre, not digestible carbs. 

What type of fibre is it?

• Insoluble fibre: 17.38 g
• Soluble fibre: 0.73 g

Insoluble fibre:

• Is not digested or absorbed
• Does not raise blood glucose
• Does not contribute meaningful calories
• Supports gut health and digestion

This fibre comes mainly from:

• New Zealand hemp protein fibre
• Whole blackcurrants

What about sugars?

• Sugars: 2.6 g per serving

This is naturally occurring sugar from the blackcurrants and is very low relative to total carbs.

Why calories stay low despite “high carbs”

Even though carbs appear high:

• Fibre provides little to no usable energy
• This is why the product is only 116 calories per 30 g serving
