ZENKO Superfoods – “Conscious, Nutritious and Delicious!”
ZENKO Superfoods offers new and exciting natural superfood snacks that are sustainably sourced and produced in its place of heritage. The first range of products that ZENKO Superfoods is launching is the delicious Water Lily Pops, made from the seeds of water lily flowers, found in the ponds located in the North-Eastern Indian state of Bihar, at the foothills of the Himalayas.
An advocate of sustainable agriculture and supporting the growth of the local communities in Bihar, ZENKO Superfoods adopts a “seed-to-snack” model where it works directly with the local communities in a 5-step process – from harvesting to roasting, popping, flavouring and packing of the seeds. This holistic approach allows ZENKO Superfoods to improve parts of the supply chain, ensure the quality of their products and work directly with the local farmers. The operation in India is managed by Co-Founder, Jochim Goedeweeck (who is based there), while Wouter helms the headquarters here in Singapore.
Water Lily Pops – An Ancient Superfood Snack
Water Lily Pops, also known as Makhana, have been around for over 2,000 years. Water lily seeds are harvested, sun-dried, roasted and at last, popped to produce light, crunchy and highly nutritional products that taste much better than popcorn. While it has been around for over thousands of years, this hidden gem remains relatively unknown to the rest of the world.
Made up of 100% natural water lily seeds, Zenko Superfoods Water Lily Pops are:
- Low in calories yet energy-boosting
- Low in fat with zero trans-fat
- Good for heart health and blood pressure
- A good source of protein and antioxidants
- Gluten-free, organic, vegan and non-GMO
- High in fibre
- Rich in calcium (boosting lactation for breastfeeding mothers)
- Low GI (suitable for diabetics)
- Halal-certified
With ZENKO Superfoods’ Water Lily Pops, you can now enjoy guilt-free snacking at all times! Available with a new look in four natural and delicious flavours – Spicy, Cheddar Cheese, Himalayan Pink Salt and Original , you will never get bored of superfood snacking!
Those looking for the kick will love the savoury Spicy, with hints of red chilli spices, garlic and onion that will keep you going back for more! Cheese lovers rejoice! The Cheddar Cheese is irresistibly addictive with a cheesy burst of flavour and a light touch of spice for that extra kick.
