Products
Currently Areté Wholefoods only sells two products, the reason; before we put any of our energy bars onto the market they are put through our extensive testing (on humans) for both nutrition and taste and are created to perfection.

The Beauty and Science of Complex Carbs
Complex carbs (or carbohydrates) are types of carbohydrates which are completely different to simple carbs in their digestion, metabolism and function in the body. While a simple carb such as glucose, maltose, sucrose, fructose, and lactose (table sugars, fruit sugar and lactose or milk sugar) hold no nutritional value in the body except to provide energy and calories, they are often the primary sweetener used in most 'health bars' and 'protein/sports bars', and they are associated with contributing to disorders such as diabetes, obesity, hypoglycaemia, depression and dental carries. Additionally artificial sweeteners, which are often added to these same 'health' and 'protein/sports bars' or used instead of sugar, (and which are still viewed by some as the healthy option over simple carbs) are now being linked to many more health issues such as gut disturbances, cancer's and recently obesity.
Complex carbs on the other hand, such as those used in the Areté Wholefoods 'Raw Energy Bars' and 'Love Bites' provide slow burning energy which can provide the feeling of being 'full' for longer so you tend to eat less, can protect against diabetes and heart disease, lower cholesterol and blood glucose levels, as well as provide beneficial fibre for bowel health and once again that 'full' feeling. Not only do these bars provide complex carbs, they are also very non-allergenic, being completely wheat free, and in the case of the 'Raw Energy Bar' gluten free.
