Scan the label of just about any packaged food and you'll find a surprisingly angelic ingredient at the end of the list…gums!
While you certainly can't blow bubbles, these gums provide a multitude of functions that will delight your senses…and benefit your body.
The reason gums appear the end of a product's list is because a little goes a long way. Classified scientifically as "hydrocolloids" these unique ingredients form gels with water and help to thicken or smooth food products. (Think: the smooth, crackly sheen on the top a freshly baked cake or the slow, viscous pour of a creamy sauce or salad dressing).
These underappreciated (and unseen) ingredients do much more than that, though. In addition to giving foods smooth moves and solid architecture, gums provide a pack of health benefits.
First, and most importantly to us here at Wellness Bakeries, gums can help replace the biggest dietary demon – sugar. Gums also add fiber (the soluble variety) which helps to balance blood sugar and reduce cholesterol levels.
Gums also work in synergy with one another – meaning that their combination or mixture provides more benefits than any one gum alone. Our unique gum fusion boosts fiber and lowers the glycemic index of our desserts, while providing a fresh-baked texture with benefits you'll want to bite into.
Finally... You Can Have Your Cake and Be Well Too!
Normally, you might feel guilty about indulging in a sweet, decadent dessert. But not Wellness Bakeries’ Chocolate Bliss Cake. This is one delicious indulgence you can feel GREAT about!
