Pure Project guides

Fruit Bar Guides

These guides answer the questions we hear most about fruit bars: what is in them, what the sugar numbers mean, which flavour to pick, how a fruit bar compares with other bars, who they suit, and how to gift them. Pure Project numbers come from our labels and batch laboratory values; other numbers come from cited public sources (WHO, ICMR-NIN, Harvard, USDA FoodData Central). Each guide shows when it was last checked and lists its sources.
