COOK at HOME FITNESS mix contains oat flakes which are rich in fibers, and have multiple health benefits for the human body. Fibers (or dietary fibers) belong to the carbohydrates’ group and are components of plant based foods that are not metabolized, resulting in the normal function of the body. Foods rich in fibers are fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grain products, and nuts. Fibers (or dietary fibers):
• maintain blood glucose levels, as they delay glucose absorption.
• help reduce cholesterol, therefore offer cardiovascular protection.
• help the normal function of the intestine by playing an important role in
preventing constipation.

• offer a greater feeling of satiety resulting in weight regulation. By combining the FITNESS mix for patties with minced chicken, you can make protein-rich, low-fat, low-saturated-fat and low-in-energy-value patties.

The FITNESS mix for patties is ideal for minced chicken because it contains oat flakes -which are more suitable than breadcrumbs- to shape more firm burgers.

The secret behind fluffy patties is the carefully selected natural ingredients and the top-quality bread, dried and grinded in the appropriate size, especially for this use.

The ingredients of COOK at HOME products are 100% natural, used in the Greek cuisine (herbs and spices), and are carefully selected and subjected to thorough quality controls. The herbs and spices used in the products are cultivated by Provil, which is a Greek company and the producer of COOK at HOME. Oregano, rosemary, thyme, mint and others are cultivated in large areas in Northern Greece so as to be exclusively used in the company’s products.

No, COOK at HOME products do NOT contain any preservatives. As far as the mixes for patties are concerned, they contain dehydrated ingredients (herbs, spices, bread), which means that any water has been removed. In the case of the cooking sauces, they have undergone a mild heat treatment (a process that has long before been used to maintain jams, etc.).
