For most people,
concept of capsulized food™ usually conjures up images of space travelers ingesting meals condensed into a compact pill. However, in modern-day reality, things are quite different. Capsulized foods are one of most innovative nutritional advancements in recent memory, and will soon become a significant – and highly valued – concept within healthy eating community.To understand what capsulized foods are and how they are positively changing way world eats, it is helpful to see problem that capsulized foods are designed to solve. In a word, that problem is: lack.
Despite growing awareness of eating healthy, most attempts to provide people with healthy meal and nutritional products suffer from some kind of ‘lack’.
There is a lack of convenience. Many foods are not packaged for convenience. Those that are convenient are oftentimes heavily processed and filled with artificial ingredients. And, preparing meals often requires a luxury of time many consumers do not have.
There is a lack of portability. This is a direct extension of convenience. Though a full-course meal may provide right amount of low glycemic carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, and complete proteins, it is often tethered to kitchen table.
There is a lack of sources. Our world is abundant with natural and processed foods. Yet, finding right combination of those foods to meet our dietary needs is challenging for many. The array of choices adds to confusion, and sometimes food selections we want are not available to us. Whether one is on a low carbohydrate, low fat, or isometric diet, finding right foods and incorporating them into our daily lifestyle requires effort.
There is a lack of nutrient-density. This refers to amount of nutrition within a given food. For example, a soft pretzel weighing 60 grams has a low density of nutrition, whereas an egg also weighing 60 grams has a high density of nutrition. Ounce for ounce, many processed foods possess less nutritional value (or, density) than whole foods such as fruits and vegetables. However, many processed foods have great merit since they do provide dense nutrition in a small amount of food. The challenge is in identifying foods that are rich in nutrients versus foods that are not.
It is within this situation of lack that capsulized foods provide real eating solutions. Sometimes called “compact liquid foods”, capsulized foods are extremely portable, require no preparation time at all, and travel easily due to their small, durable, and lightweight containers. At same time, capsulized foods are liquefied, which allows them to be quickly consumed. This is of primary importance to eaters who simply do not have time to prepare and then sit through a traditional meal. Capsulized foods are also extremely rich in nutrients, and in fact provide highest nutritional value per fluid ounce of any food product on market. As such, capsulized foods effectively solve lack of convenience, portability, and nutrition-density in a single, cost-effective eating solution.
