And for the occasion, Arnaud Cocaul, nutritionist and member of the jury, played the game of the interview.
Arnaud, why did the jury select ELSY as the winner of the Prix Sucré 2022?
We found in Elsy a real innovative proposal concerning a highly competitive sector where the players already present only offer a caloric, plethoric offer with a problematic composition at the public health level.
The idea of offering a low glycemic index corresponds to a real awareness of the importance to be given to a pleasure offer which is not just a collection of stuffy elements but a sense of innovation by incorporating legumes, responsible cocoa and oligofructose from chicory.
You were particularly surprised by the presence of Oligofructose. Why and what do you think of this "ingredient"?
I find it beneficial to keep the gourmet pleasure by associating a smoothing effect on the consumer's blood sugar. There is no sudden rise in the sugar level but on the contrary a sweet proposal limiting the reaction rise of insulin which can trigger sudden drops in the sugar level with the risk of endlessly multiplying food intake and therefore snacking .

Oligofructose is original in that it is a prebiotic and therefore a nutrient for our digestive flora. This is the first time a confectionery product has offered this. So we can almost speak of a health effect, which is very innovative for such a range of gourmet products. By eating it, you feed your intestinal microbiota and make good bacteria grow. It needs to be done!
You are a nutritionist and author. Among the books you have written, which book would you recommend to Elsy fans?
I'm talking about the microbiota so read "Depollute your internal fat" co-written with Dr. Michel Brack and published by Albin Michel. easy to read popular book.
