In recent years, dietary habits in Taiwan have changed, with diets becoming increasingly refined and processed. According to the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) conducted by the Health Promotion Administration [1], the average daily dietary fiber intake among adult men and women is less than 15 grams, significantly below the recommended 25 to 35 grams. Long-term insufficient intake of dietary fiber may affect metabolism and digestive function, potentially leading to imbalances in various physiological functions.
Dietary fiber is an essential nutrient for the human body and provides several important physiological benefits:
1. Increases satiety and supports dietary control.
2. Promotes intestinal movement and helps maintain regular bowel movements.
3. Supports normal digestive function.
4. Helps maintain a healthy balance of gut microbiota and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria.
To help consumers meet their daily dietary fiber needs, HANTECH BIO-TECH developed the “Salad Drink,” made with a diverse selection of locally sourced fruits and vegetables. Ingredients include spinach, kale, and komatsuna grown in Taiwan, as well as burdock from Jiangjun, Tainan, along with a variety of other vegetables and fruit juices.
Through HANTECH’s R&D expertise, fresh produce that is typically difficult to preserve is transformed into a delicious and easy-to-drink retort pouch beverage that can be stored at room temperature and conveniently carried on the go. The Salad Drink provides an easy way to supplement the fiber and nutrients that may be lacking in the daily diet.
The Salad Drink is specially formulated with locally sourced agricultural products from Taiwan to retain the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables. It is suitable not only for consumers looking to increase their daily dietary fiber intake, but also for people who frequently eat out and those with busy lifestyles as a convenient source of daily nutritional supplementation.
Combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle habits, the Salad Drink can help support more comprehensive daily nutrition.
