CHOOSE HEBA —YOUR SMARTER, HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE TO PAP, MAIZE & WHEAT
Goodbye Empty Calories — Hello HEBA®
Most traditional staples like maize, wheat and other grains, even so-called “whole grains,” have been genetically modified and heavily processed, not for your health, but to boost profits.
Maize (commonly called corn) is one of the world's most widely genetically modified (GMO) crops. It's modified to tolerate herbicides like glyphosate and to produce its own pesticides (Bt toxin) to increase pest resistance for increased productivity.
These refined grains are stripped of nutrients, leaving behind empty calories and harmful anti-nutrients that block the body's absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.
Internationally acclaimed and proudly South African HEBA® is different. Winner of Global Food Industry Awards (Most Innovative Ingredient, Dublin 2016) HEBA® is made exclusively with nature's most nutrient-dense superfoods. It’s a nourishing, gluten and grain-free alternative packed with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals—so we don't have to add them back in.
FREE FROM GMOs, artificial additives and anti-nutrients, HEBA® provides clean, wholesome nutrition that fuels energy, sharpens focus, supports overall health and longevity.
HEBA® is the healthier, smarter choice for your health and well-being. It's ideal for growing families, busy professionals and anyone craving a natural, nutrient-dense alternative to heavily processed and GMO-laden staples and cereals.
In South Africa, a nation rich in diversity and culture, the battle with ill health is all too common.
Many attribute their health woes to fast food, sugary sodas and sweets.
But let's uncover a surprising truth - our everyday staples often silently contribute to this problem.
While avoiding known unhealthy foods is a conscious choice, essentials like maize meal, wheat flour and rice are staples in most South African households.
To truly address the issue of poor nutrition, we must find alternatives that don't sacrifice taste and texture but significantly elevate our nutritional intake while reducing calories.
Did you know that the average South African consumes a staggering 100 kg of GMO maize and maize-related products every year?*
That's a challenge, but it's also an extraordinary opportunity!
