Taste the Variety: Sweet and Savory Diversity Jars for Every Craving

In our fast-paced times, simple ways to make everyday life healthier, more varied and a little nicer are incredibly valuable. This is where the Diversity Jars come in: colorful, diverse and nutritious mixtures of different foods that you keep ready to hand in a jar and can sprinkle over your meals according to your mood and whim.

Whether as a crunchy topping for salads, as a colorful crunch on breakfast porridge, or as a quick nutrient boost on the go – these little jars bring flavor and extra nutrients into your life!

Today we'll present you with two options:
👉 A savory Diversity Jar with hearty ingredients for bowls, soups and salads
👉 A sweet Diversity Jar for breakfast, desserts or as a little treat in between meals

Both versions are easy to prepare, can be stored for a longer period of time, and can be used creatively time and again.

The Diversity Jar Concept

What makes Diversity Jars special is their simplicity and versatility: instead of picking out individual nuts, seeds, or toppings at every meal, you already have everything perfectly mixed and ready to hand in a jar. This makes it easy to add more variety to your diet while benefiting from a wide range of nutrients. Each jar is like a little modular system – you can vary the ingredients, adjust them to your personal preferences, and make your meals healthier, more colourful, and more exciting.

Why a varied diet is so important

A varied diet not only provides all the essential nutrients, but also supports health on many levels. Different foods bring a variety of vitamins, minerals, fibre , and secondary plant compounds into your body. Variety is crucial, especially for gut health: Imagine your gut as a vibrant garden: Each type of bacteria is a plant that needs different nutrients to grow and thrive. If you only eat one or two similar foods, only a few plants will grow, and the garden becomes monotonous. A diverse diet provides all the different "fertilizers" that your gut microbiome needs. The result? A healthy, colorful "garden" full of life that supports your digestion, better absorbs nutrients, and even strengthens the immune system. The more varied the diet, the more diverse the gut flora! (1)

In addition, the combination of different flavors and textures ensures that food remains not only healthy, but also really delicious - a reason why colorful mixtures like the Diversity Jars are so ideal.

Psst, with the myBioma gut microbiome tests, you can find out how diverse your own gut bacteria are and how well your little residents support your health. More information about the tests can be found here: https://mybioma.com/collections/mikrobiom-tests
