With no added sugars, no refined flours, no butter or eggs: the biscuits created by the Grande Via and Dr. Franco Berrino, produced and marketed by the Naturasì organic store chain, do not raise blood sugar and are a treat suitable for everyone.

Dr. Berrino’s new biscuits, with the names “Amore” and “Gioia” not only contain organic ingredients, but are designed to be as good and crunchy as traditional biscuits. With huge differences, though. Because they have low glycemic index and good fats but no cholesterol, while each ingredient is of natural origin.

Because Berrino says no to many of the foods we bring to the table.

Dr. Franco Berrino, an internationally renowned epidemiologist, has often fought many battles against industrialized foods and the “modern” versions of bread, pasta and sweets, as well as being against a diet that is too loaded with animal proteins.
The high glycemic impact of the Western diet, combined with the nutritional poverty of industrial ingredients, would contribute to the development of serious diseases, as well as the metabolic syndrome.
For this reason, Berrino was co-author of the 21-day diet , and promotes a type of diet that he defines as “macromediterranean”.

Dr Berrino’s new biscuits are born: Gioia e Amore

But how to meet the needs of those who really don’t want to give up on dessert? In the past, Professor Berrino had already given suggestions, such as the use of apple or pear puree in homemade dough. But today, instead of experimenting with these solutions at home, anyone who wants to can directly buy the healthy cookies from Naturasì.

Gioia shortbread biscuits are lemon flavored and contain raisins as a sweetener.
You can find them online here on the Naturasì website or in their stores.

While the Amore biscuits are cocoa shortbread biscuits sweetened with dates and you can find them here.
