Health Benefits of Zephyr

Translated from website: oede.by

Agar (the gelling agent used to make our zephyrs) is obtained from red seaweed. It contains calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, vitamins E, K and B5. The iodine contained in it is beneficial for the thyroid gland. Agar: normalizes digestion, facilitates liver function, and acts as a mild laxative. The swelling substances of the raw material do not decompose either in the acidic environment of the stomach, through which they pass very quickly, or in the alkaline environment of the intestine, and as a result of strong swelling they increase the contents of the intestine, which causes its peristalsis (gently moving your bowels). Other ingredients used to prepare these confectionery relatives are no less beneficial for our health. Fruit and berry puree is rich in vitamins, and egg whites serve as building materials for muscle tissue.

Zephyr contains absolutely no fats – both animal and vegetable. For its production, only proteins, sugar, fruit and berry purees and a number of natural thickener such as agar is used. Thanks to this, zephyrs are low-calorie (300 calories per 2.5” x 4” double zephyr), but very tasty. In addition, it contains a lot of phosphorus, iron and other useful substances. Positively affects blood vessels, hair and nails.

Since zephyrs are made from agar, obtained from algae, you don’t have to worry about extra calories. For children, it is no less useful since it contains iodine, iron and calcium.

Zephyrs are also an excellent dessert choice for ovo-vegetarians.
