TORQ’s new bar has been a long time coming and their new taste sensation is aimed at the Organic purist, or quite frankly anyone else who can’t resist its draw. This organic bar is certified by the Soil Association and maintains the same texture and mouthfeel demonstrated by all of TORQ’s other bars.

TORQ bar was developed to satisfy the needs of athletes and physically active people. Many energy bars on the market cater for some of these needs, but TORQ don’t believe they have addressed them all. Here’s what athletes and physically active people need:
- Carbohyrdate: They ‘need’ carbohydrate full stop. They ‘need’ it whilst they exercise to spare their limited glycogen reserves and at rest to top their valuable stores back up again. TORQ bar contains over 70 grams of carbohydrate per 100g (in excess of 45 grams per bar).
- Glycaemic Index: They ‘need’ a food with ingredients wide-ranging in glycaemic index for immediate and sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream. TORQ bar has been carefully formulated to include ingredients with low, moderate and high glycaemic indices for this purpose.
- Ultra low fat: They ‘need’ a food that is ultra low in fat to guarantee rapid digestion and minimize the intake of ineffective calories. TORQ bar contains only 2 grams of fat per 100g (just over a gram per bar).
- Easy to eat: They ‘need’ a food that is easy to eat, or they won’t eat enough of it to derive the benefits. There are too many dry energy bars out there, making it difficult to supply sufficient carbohydrate calories - the ones that aren’t dry tend to contain too much fat. TORQ bar is delightfully moist and chewy, yet it remains ultra low in fat and high in carbohydrate.
- Tasty: They also ‘need’ a food that tastes so good that they choose to snack on it in preference to high fat, less effective alternatives. Some energy bars are encapsulated with chocolate to entice the customer into buying. Many of these bars taste great, but you can’t coat a bar with chocolate and keep it low in fat. Therefore the product becomes compromised and less effective in supplying useful energy. The careful formulation and preparation of TORQ bar has ensured a delicious deep flavour, with a mouth-feel more commonly associated with a higher fat food.
Torq have developed a range of performance nutrition products through a need to offer the highest standard of support to the athletes they work with.
"We have uncompromising standards, yet we also have a conscience.
We absolutely refuse to use ingredients that are not derived from a NATURAL source, or don’t naturally occur within the human body. We are firmly of the opinion that artificial ingredients like sweeteners offer no performance advantage, can cause stomach discomfort and could potentially harm yourhealth long term. We see no point in including them. Advanced compoundslike D-Ribose, HMB and L-Glutamine naturally occur within the humanbody and represent some of the most potent supplements available onthe market today, so why would we want to use anything artificial?
Every ingredient we use is included to the levels recommended by available research. We do not cut corners and do not accept compromise."
