Description of competitive advantages

1. Uniqueness of the product Fruit base: Using raisins and dried apricots to create the sourdough gives the bread a unique taste and aroma that are difficult to achieve using traditional ingredients. Reduced gluten levels: The fermentation process reduces the gluten content in the bread, making it more accessible to people with gluten sensitivity. 2. Ease of use Sublimated form: Long shelf life and ease of use make the product convenient for both industrial and home use. Versatility: Ease of use and no need for long-term care and activation make VitaKhleb attractive to various categories of consumers. 3. Health benefits Vitamins and minerals: Fruits in the sourdough enrich the product with vitamins and minerals, improving its nutritional value. Probiotics: The fermentation process promotes the formation of probiotics, which are beneficial for digestion. 4. Environmentally friendly and durable Use of natural ingredients: Avoiding chemical additives and preservatives makes the product environmentally friendly. Fermentation: The fermentation process prevents mold growth and improves shelf life. 5. Market potential and adaptation BRICS market: The BRICS countries represent a huge and diverse market with a bread-consuming culture, which opens up significant opportunities for expansion and growth. Local features: The product can be easily adapted to local preferences within the BRICS region, which increases its potential popularity among local consumers. 6. Innovativeness Combination of tradition and innovation: The product combines the advantages of traditional sourdoughs and modern technologies such as freeze-drying, making it innovative and attractive to the market. 7. Competitiveness Enhanced aromatization: Unlike dry yeast, which traditionally has limited aromatic qualities, freeze-dried fruit sourdough offers a rich and intense aroma. Increased activity: Retains its properties even during long-term storage, which makes it more reliable in comparison with traditional yeast.
