Problem:

Nowadays, many people do not take care of their diet and do not worry about eating the right number of micronutrients, which refer to vitamins and minerals. These micronutrients are found in fruits and vegetables. Either because of costs, lack of time or due to people's bad consumption habits. However, fruits and vegetables are essential for a good diet, since in the future if people don’t eat them, they can have negative effects on their health.

Idea:

A powder with different flavors which can be added to any food in such a way that there is no need to modify people's habits or hinder their day to day with complex or time-consuming preparations. Likewise, people will not be forced to eat food that they do not like by substituting them with our product and thus people will be able to cover their basic micronutrient requirements and combat their deficiencies in order to improve their nutritional status.

Main Beneficiaries:

1. People who have already been diagnosed with deficiency diseases of one or more micronutrients. They are generally adults that have not eaten correctly before, because today many adults have a quite busy lifestyle. 2. People who do not like to consume foods that contain micronutrients that are in fruits and vegetables. In this way they are not forced to eat foods that they do not like, this group focuses on young people who are usually studying and don’t usually cook.
