Virto Group’s new Mineral Boosts range was in high profile at the SIAL Paris exhibition, which took place from October 17-21. Three frozen plant-based bowls, which can be prepared in six to seven minutes, are featured:
• Chickpea Curry, fortified with zinc, an essential trace element that contributes to processes such as immune system function and skin maintenance, among others.
• Green Bowl, which combines grains and vegetables enriched with potassium, supporting muscle health, nerve impulse transmission, fluid balance and cardiovascular health.
• Spelt and Cranberries, enriched with magnesium, a mineral associated with human energy production and the well-being of muscles and one’s nervous system.
In a market where functional food has mainly focused on added protein, reduced carbohydrates or sugar-free claims, Mineral Boosts expands on this trend by incorporating mineral fortification into complete, balanced, 100% plant-based meals, thereby enabling a higher intake of these micronutrients through everyday diet.
Virto’s presence at the SIAL trade show is part of the international growth strategy of the Navarra, Spain-headquartered family-owned company’s expansion of frozen vegetable product lines across international markets. Today, its production, logistics sites and sales offices are present in 10 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Poland, the United States, Chile and Brazil.
