Organic Vegetable Broth
Organic vegetable broth is made through the slow, low-heat boiling of organic vegetables and herbs such as carrots, celery and onions that help to preserve nutrients and taste. It is a very low calorie at just 12 calories per cup, making it a better choice for weight-watchers. Savoury organic vegetable broth is often used by the health conscious to flush out toxins from the digestive system much like a detox!
Ayam Brand™ sources certified organic vegetables for its organic vegetable broth for a more natural taste that is free from chemical residue.
European Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Every 100gm of the organic extra virgin olive oil contains Vitamin E (72% of the recommended dietary allowance), Vitamin K (75% of the RDA) as well as Omega-3 and Omega-6[3], and is rich in antioxidants. Research studies show that extra virgin olive oil has biologically-active substances that can help lower the risk of developing atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases and certain kinds of cancer[4].
European certified law for organic produce is among the most stringent. It requires the produce, the crop, the land which it was grown on, the factory in which it was processed as well as the procedures and ingredients used are all organic certified.
Ayam Brand™ is working with leading Italian organic produce brand, Alce Nero for product display and promotion partnership in Malaysia.
