Why are Boundless snacks part of the JustBite range?
As we mentioned earlier, a snack needs to bring serious credentials to earn its spot in the JustBite range. Every snack goes through our rigorous selection process, where we look at composition, ingredients, and above all, taste!
We're happy to show you in more detail why we've given Boundless snacks a spot in our snack boxes!
Ingredients
Each Nuts & Seeds bag contains only 100% natural ingredients.
The nuts and seeds are activated, which means they can give your body, and especially your gut, all the goodness nature has to offer.
How does activation actually work, and why is it necessary?
Fibre-rich foods like nuts and seeds contain phytic acid, a substance naturally present in plants to protect themselves against being eaten. Phytic acid is poorly digested by our bodies. This phytic acid binds to minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, making it harder for our bodies to absorb them properly.
By activating their nuts and seeds, Boundless tries to reduce the phytic acid content as much as possible, boosting the nutritional value significantly!
They first soak the nuts and seeds in salt water to kick-start the natural germination process. Then they rinse the nuts and seeds to remove the phytic acid, keeping only the good stuff. After that, they bake them to perfection and season them beautifully.
Taste
Taste is always the most important selection criterion for our snacks. If a nutritious snack doesn't surprise us with its delicious flavour, it doesn't make it into our range. When it comes to the taste of the Boundless Nuts & Seeds in their different variations, we can be brief. They taste fantastic!
With something for every taste, from sweet to nicely spicy, they treat you to a surprising flavour sensation with that crunch that satisfies our craving for something crispy!
Composition
All Nuts & Seeds bags are always gluten-free, vegan, and high in fibre and protein.
Boundless prides itself on giving you a happy tummy with their snacks. Not just because their snacks contain activated nuts and seeds, but also because they're high in fibre.
Dietary fibre is an essential part of a more nutritious diet.
It helps you feel full for longer, keeps your gut in good shape, and helps prevent all sorts of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease... So it's handy when your snack already gives you a head start on your daily fibre intake!
The high protein content also helps you go longer without feeling hungry. That way, you get the most out of your break, powering through without hunger pangs and with plenty of energy and focus.
Conclusion
Boundless snacks have a surprising taste, give you that delicious crunch we're often after during our snack moments, and are also super handy to take with you on the go for a nutritious break, wherever you are. Better snacking with an extra kick!
