Sweet and savory (non-sweet) ready-to-eat food bars can provide improved nutrition and flavor by minimizing sugar and sugar-substitutes in a balanced-nutrition bar. Such improved bars are advantageously eaten singly or as segments of a meal-equivalent food bar assembly. Specifically, sugars (mono- and di-saccharides) and sugar-substitutes (sugar-related short-chain polymers) are powerful flavor sweeteners but should be used minimally-because they can stimulate unhealthy sugar-craving in athletes, diabetics, and overweights, and can overwhelm subtle flavors in sweet and savory bars. Unhealthy forms of fats are also minimized.
