Researchers developed a high-protein, soft jelly pudding specifically for older adults and others with dysphagia, a common swallowing difficulty, to provide a safe and easy-to-consume food option.
This award-winning pudding is packed with protein (7g per serving, equivalent to an egg) to combat malnutrition and muscle loss, while also being low in calories and having a low glycemic index, making it suitable for diabetics.
Designed with a spoon-thick, easily mashed consistency, the jelly significantly reduces the risk of choking or aspiration, ensuring a safe and enjoyable eating experience even for those without teeth.
Available in banana and strawberry flavors, this innovative dessert, recognized with a bronze medal at an international exhibition, is slated for market launch in October.
