Description
We activate our pumpkin seeds by soaking them for a minimum of 8 hours to ensure the removal of phytic acid. Phytic acid is a naturally-occurring protein that inhibits the absorption of zinc, iron, magnesium, and calcium. The nutritional content of a soaked seed is therefore more bioavailable to us. After soaking and rinsing them, we air dry them for 24 hours at 45 degrees Celsius to give them a buttery texture while maintaining their raw nutrition.
Pumpkin seeds are a good source of Vitamin K, Manganese, Magnesium, and phosphorus. Cranberries support urinary tract health. Raw cacao nibs supply us with plenty of iron and magnesium and oats are rich in fibre and protein.
The next ingredient is raw cacao powder. Cacao beans are roasted on high heat in commercial chocolate production to release the sulphur compounds that give chocolate its flavor and texture. After roasting, they are called “cocoa beans”. However, with raw cacao, the beans are fermented, then air-dried at low temperatures to maintain their essential nutrition. Raw cacao is one of the world’s highest sources of iron. It also contains magnesium, which is important for the body’s nerve and muscle function. Raw cacao is truly a powerful superfood.
Finally, the suppliers we work with contribute to us producing such delicious superfoods oat bars. Two of our main organic suppliers are “Think Organic” and “Inna Organic”. Our suppliers visit farms in Indonesia and have close relationships with the farmers they work with. This gives you and us in turn peace of mind that every time you invest in Vegan Yumz brownies, you are supporting the livelihoods of small-scale, local farms.
Shelf Life: 3 weeks in the fridge/ 3 months in the freezer

This oat bar is one of the best, actually it’s the best I have ever had! It’s so flavorful and right after we gave it a bite I can feel my body is thanking me for all these wonderful good ingredients…. not just that sugar-crush from a product that you can get from a 7-11, this is freaking amazing homemade product that made with LOVE. Well done Chef!!!
