The covid-19 outbreak generated a revolution in the markets of Central America and its different economic sectors. In this scenario of health crisis, healthy foods and products used for the general well-being of people have gained importance.
Studies carried out in the region state that eight out of ten Central Americans are interested in having a healthy weight and a balanced diet, so the consumption of fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated and reducing the consumption of some ingredients, is of great value.
