Known for it jams, fruit toppings and toasted muesli products, Pietermaritzburg's Thistlewood Products has launched a new range of low GI biscuits.

"The lives of many people have changed by following a low-GI style of eating. Such a lifestyle is one in which they are able to achieve weight loss, blood sugar control, improved overall health, better stamina, and lower cholesterol levels," says Angela Leitch sales & marketing director of Thistlewood.

"We wanted to tap into this market and have scientifically developed this range of low GI biscuits packed with real cranberry, mixed berry or apricot bits, and believe this an exciting addition to our current range." 

"Thistlewood’s Low GI range offers a healthier choice that the whole family will enjoy and is suitable for persons with diabetes," she continues. "These energy-controlled biscuits have no artificial flavouring and colourants making them a great snack with a hint of natural sweetness. Consumers will also love the gift-style bag (labelled in accordance with the new legislation)."

Thistlewood Products, a family-owned business based in Pietermaritzburg, manufactures a wide range of quality preserves, pie fillings, fruit toppings and other low Gi products for the retail and hospitality markets. It recently earned HACCP certification from the SABS.
