OUR ORGANIC ENERGY COMPOTES ARE PUREES
‘New in human history, refined sugar is responsible for many serious illnesses. It is a molecule that the human body cannot cope with. It has been shown to be more addictive than cocaine in mice... What about in humans? In any case, the difference is that the general public is perfectly aware of how dangerous drugs are, whereas refined sugar is still widely underestimated, particularly in the world of sport...’ explains Benoît Nave, nutritionist and co-founder of Baouw.
So we designed purees containing only the natural sugar in the fruit. It's a perfectly physiological sugar, so it's well assimilated and understood by the body because it's combined with the fibre, minerals and other micro-nutrients in the fruit. It allows you to maintain all the nutrients you need for your performance during exercise, while preserving your health. The ideal natural alternative to energy gels.
2. ENERGY INTAKE OPTIMISED TO PERFECTION
It's probably no surprise to you that our recipes are concocted by our 2-star chef Yoann Conte and our nutritionist Benoit Nave. Their expertise is reflected in the composition of the purées, which, if you follow our recommendations on how often to eat them, will give you the energy you need while keeping your blood sugar levels under control during exercise.
Our purees fall into two categories:
For 90g (one puree)
- The Banana-Kiwi-Vanilla and Sweet Potato-Carrot-Timut Pepper purees are similar in carbohydrate content to our bars. You can eat them every 30 minutes for a very intense effort, or every 60 minutes for a longer effort.
- The Pear-Apple-Mint and Raspberry-Strawberry-Basil purees should be consumed every 20 minutes for very intense exertion, or every 40 minutes for longer exertion.
In addition to their optimal carbohydrate intake, our purees are remarkable for their high fat content thanks to the subtle touch of extra virgin olive oil they contain. An exceptional quality olive oil, one of the richest in polyphenols and antioxidants.
3. A BALANCE THAT RESPECTS THE FOOD MATRIX
From a nutritional point of view, it's quite easy to work when you only use ultra-high quality, raw ingredients. In this way, we preserve the ‘matrix’ of each food, its ‘totum’, and therefore its full potential. All its capital: its vitamins, its minerals, its antioxidant polyphenols. It's important to understand that it's only in this way that they can be fully assimilated by your body. And therefore beneficial. When this capital is added, in other words when a product is enriched with synthetic vitamins through the manufacturing process, the body cannot use it properly.
The most difficult part of the process was to find a balance that would make it possible to do without sterilisation, to obtain a high quality micro-nutrition (vitamins, antioxidants...), all without any preservatives. Mission accomplished!
4. UNIQUE RECIPES
Our purées are the recipes of a two-star chef, not the products of chemists. Recipes born in Yoann's ovens, not in test tubes. To be sure, it's easy: just turn the product over and read the label. No OSE words like glucose or fructose... Nothing chemical.
The result? Our ingredients aren't ingredients, they're food! Organic products of exceptional quality combined in four unique recipes and a high level of transparency for Baouw on the composition of our products.

5. A PRACTICAL FORMAT DESIGNED FOR EVERY TYPE OF EFFORT
Our compotes have proved to be very practical. The compactness of the water bottle makes them much easier to store, grip, open, close, keep, re-open and reseal... They are also ideal for high-intensity exercise. And why is that? Because their rapid carbohydrate intake better meets the needs of higher energy consumption. But also because it becomes harder to chew as the intensity of the effort and your heart rate increase! For longer, endurance-type efforts, our compotes complement our energy bars. One does not replace the other! On the contrary, the two work together and give you the opportunity to alternate tastes and textures to avoid getting bored.
