More Nutrients
Why and What we fortify our flours and premixes with.

The food supply in Argentina is very rich. However, the average population significantly lacks important nutrients such as Iron, Calcium and Folic Acid. The lack of these nutrients severely affects the children's biogical and intellectual potential while it puts the health of the adult population at risk .

1 out of 3 Argentine kids, regardless of his socioeconomic status, lacks Iron and Calcium in his diet due to bad eating habits. Besides, 75% of our population suffers from Folic Acid deficiency.

Because of this Molino Cañuelas fortifies its Flours and Premixes with Calcium, Iron, B Vitaminic Complex, and Folic Acid. Only one serving of our products covers from 20 to 50% of the daily requirements (See nutritional tables in products sector).
