This evolving EATRIGHT® product has recently been abbreviated to 'e-balls' (from 'energy-balls'), since “walnuts consumed by healthy adults [provide 21%] less available energy than predicted" [1].
Whilst work continues, to better reflect the energy component of the walnut ingredient, other changes are also taking place. Rather than using cracked walnuts, we are now using walnut meal (a by-product of cold oil pressing). The walnut meal is a natural source of phosphorous 503mg/100g (50% RDI) and a good source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) (0.2mg/100g)(12%RDI) which "contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity".
The e-balls also contain a minimally processed blend of wholegrain oats (with naturally occurring beta glucan (a soluble fibre) and plant sterols), flax seeds and a mix of organic fruit including unique to New Zealand naturally high sources of actinidin [2].
Great for tramping in New Zealand's wilderness paradise (a full sensory navigational experience) and exploring the three national parks surrounding our Nelson township.
