Nature's New Super Grain A unique new type of barley recently developed by CSIRO, BARLEYmax™ is a low GI, high protein wholegrain that delivers more of all three fibre types essential for a healthy digestive system - soluble fibre, insoluble fibre and resistant starch. Unlike most starches and other forms of fibre, resistant starch has prebiotic properties, which means it encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in the bowel to help keep you regular and maintain overall digestive health. You can get all the benefits of BARLEYmax™ by trying the new range of Goodness Superfoods’ cereals, Protein 1st and Digestive 1st.

Protein 1st contains honey-toasted BARLEYmax™ flakes with soy and amaranth and has the highest protein levels of any cereal in the supermarket, providing over 17% of your daily protein needs in each serve.  Digestive 1st contains BARLEYmax™ flakes with sultana and apple and its high fibre content means a single serve for breakfast will give you almost 40% of your daily fibre needs. A one cup serve of each cereal is equal to one serve of grains from FNA’s My Healthy Eating Guide©.
