Since its initial launch, Gardenia Nutri Multi-Grain, has provided every household in Singapore with wholesome goodness readily packaged in a loaf that is delightfully aromatic, soft and delicious.
Gardenia Nutri Multi-Grain has NO Trans Fat and bears the Healthier Choice Symbol (an endorsement by the Health Promotion Board for meeting its high nutritional standard).
Gardenia Nutri Multi-Grain is now improved and has been tested and certified with a 'Low GI' ranking. It is the most suitable bread for people with diabetes. In Singapore, there are 275,000 diabetics and another 500,000 people who are 'glucose intolerant' (Straits Times, 10 January 2007).
Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrate foods according to their effects on Blood Glucose Levels (blood sugar). The GI rating ranges between 0 - 100. 'Low GI' rating (less than 55) indicates that the food releases glucose into the blood stream gradually while the higher end of the scale indicates a faster release of glucose into the blood stream. Foods that have only a slow, small effect on blood sugar have a low GI value, while those causing a rapid and massive rise in blood sugar have a higher GI value.
As Gardenia 1st 'Low GI', diabetic friendly bread, this healthy loaf with its high dietary fibre also helps to maintain a healthy digestive system while providing a steady and sustained supply of energy. This is indeed good news for those who are weight conscious as this bread prolongs the feeling of fullness and helps prevent overeating. For those who are active in sports, Gardenia Nutri Multi-Grain will provide them with sustained energy by releasing glucose over longer period of time. This sustained supply of energy will also help school going children and the office professionals to maintain concentration in schools and at work.
Gardenia Nutri Multi-Grain is retailed at $2.65 per loaf.
