[Naturally Fresh] What is dry food based on the whole food concept?
Top » Column » [Naturally Fresh] What is dry food based on the whole food concept?
Naturally Fresh, a premium food product, has just arrived in Japan for the first time.
This dry food is made from ingredients delivered directly from the source and cooked at low temperatures while still fresh, meaning it's "packed with all the nutrition of fresh ingredients."
It was developed with the idea of applying the same attention to freshness that is so common in our daily meals to our partners' meals.
"Just as I am particular about my own diet, I want to be particular about my dog's diet too."
We deliver food from our kitchen (manufacturing plant) in St. Marys, Ontario, Canada, which is packed with the nutritional value of fresh ingredients and meets the same safety standards as human food.
Bow Wow Place offers a wide selection of high-quality, additive-free pet foods.
This time, we will introduce you to Naturally Fresh, a premium food from Canada.
1. Features of Naturally Fresh
◆ 100% fresh meat from Canada delivered to you
Naturally Fresh started with the question, "How can we make the best tasting food?" and arrived at the concept of whole foods that are packed with the nutrients of fresh ingredients.
To deliver the best quality and flavor, all meat is carefully selected from nearby farms and livestock farms, delivered to the factory on the morning it is to be cooked, and cooked the same day.
We carefully select locally sourced meat and use it while it's at its freshest, which allows us to create delicious food that preserves the nutritional value of the ingredients.
◆ Cooking methods that ensure freshness
Located in the vast agricultural region of Ontario, Canada, the raw meat is delivered from nearby farms on the morning it is cooked, and is cooked to bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients.
The ingredients are cooked slowly at a low temperature of 75 degrees to preserve the nutrients as much as possible. This allows us to create food that retains the original nutrients and flavors of the ingredients, compared to regular dry food, which is produced under high temperatures and pressure.
Finally, meat broth is added to add natural flavor.
Not only is it a favorite with your beloved dog or cat, but it's also the ultimate natural seasoning, as the soup, which contains all the nutrients from the ingredients, can be enjoyed down to the last drop.
◆ Contains ancient grains such as quinoa, a popular health food
Millet, also known as ancient grains, has been eaten all over the world since ancient times and has been attracting attention in recent years due to its high nutritional value.Unlike white rice and wheat flour, ancient grains are not refined and are therefore rich in minerals and amino acids. Naturally Fresh contains quinoa, pearl millet, and pearl millet that are not genetically modified.
Quinoa contains twice the protein and nine times the calcium of white rice with the same calorie content.
◆ Consider obesity with low GI ingredients
Because it is a meal you eat every day, we have selected low GI ingredients such as white kidney beans and peas to use in our recipe.
As it does not contain white rice, corn, potatoes, or other ingredients known to be high GI foods, it is recommended for owners who are concerned about their dog's blood sugar levels or weight, or for pets who have allergies to these ingredients.
The white kidney beans and peas we use are non-genetically modified and are processed in quantities suitable for your partner's digestion.
◆ Strict quality control by the manufacturer
Naturally Fresh manufacturers have their own auditing organizations and set strict quality and safety standards.
For example, we have established a unique system that allows us to steadily deliver high-quality products, including the introduction of international quality control methods such as HACCP and ISO.
We also carry out thorough quality control, such as using temperature-controlled containers when importing to Japan to prevent deterioration due to temperature changes, and inspecting the food twice, before and after import, to ensure it is not oxidized.
