Energy Balls, E-Balls, Enzyme Balls

This evolving EATRIGHT® product was abbreviated to 'e-balls' (from 'energy-balls') and now 'enzyme-balls'. For instance, “walnuts consumed by healthy adults [provide 21%] less available energy than predicted" [1] and phyto sources of multiple enzymes [^] [^^]. But, as always, they are an outstanding ‘fruit-based snack food…also containing nuts and seeds’. A great, less mess, no nasties, preformed, portion ready, scroggin or trial mix 'ideal for tramping' and your full sensory navigational experience.

Other adjustments have also taken place. Rather than using cracked walnuts, we are now using walnut meal (a by-product 'cake' of cold oil pressing). The walnut meal, from NEW ZEALAND varietals, is a natural source of phosphorous 503mg/100g (50% RDI) and a good source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) (0.2mg/100g)(12%RDI) "contributes to regulation of hormonal activity".

The e-balls also contain a minimally processed blend of wholegrain oat groats (with naturally occurring beta glucan, 'essential' guanine, [antiallergenic, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis] avenanthramide [2], [assists in blood glucose regulation] arabinoxylan, high levels of class I chitinase (chitin hydrolysis catalysing enzyme; enhanced by abiotic agents (eg ozone, UV light) and biotic factors (eg oligosaccharides [β-glucan-, FOS fructo-, AOS arabino-, ADMO algae derived marine-]) [^]), five phtyochemical 'ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors' and manganese) and a mix of 'in-house cut' organic fruit including unique to New Zealand naturally high sources of 'reducing gluten allergenicity' actinidin [3] [^^].

But, minimal, mild processing or 'raw' processing is not 'no' processing since whole oats and whole seeds contain phytates or salts of phytic acid [between 5600ppm and 33000ppm]. Hence, we use a combination of proprietary processes, to improve the micronutrient bioavailability with lower, more consistent water activity [aw], for this EATRIGHT® product.
