Ferrero has once again launched a new product under the Nutella range. It had been six years since he created something new and, in the midst of all the commotion for high-quality ingredients, he has decided to put some new cookies on sale. Nutella Biscuit seems to be the new summer craving for lovers of chocolate cream.
It is a crunchy cookie with a creamy Nutella heart that has become a true social phenomenon in Italy. Its sale in supermarkets had to be limited so that customers did not run out of stock in a single purchase.
Ingredients and nutritional value
The brand ensures that they are made with top quality ingredients. In addition, they seek the perfect balance of flavors, between a 55% crunchy cookie made with wheat flour and brown sugar and a 45% Nutella filling. But are they really healthy?
Its list of ingredients is made up of: «cHazelnut spread with cocoa 40% (sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts (13%), skimmed milk powder (8,7%), reduced-fat cocoa (7,4%), emulsifier: lecithin (soy) , vanillin), wheat flour (32,5%), palm oil, cane sugar (8,5%), lactose (milk), wheat bran, milk powder, barley malt extract, miel, yeast (disodium diphosphate, ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate), reduced fat cocoa, salt, wheat starch, malted barley flour, emulsifier: lecithin (soy), vanillin«.
Regarding the nutritional values per cookie (13,8 grams):
- Energy: 70 calories
- Fat: 3.4 grams
- Saturated: 1.6 grams
- Carbohydrates: 8.7 grams
- Sugars: 4.9 grams
- Protein: 1.1 grams
- Salt: 0.075 grams
The 304-ounce package contains about 22 sizeable cookies. To avoid confusion with nutritional equivalences, we have chosen the table per individual cookie. In that case, one serving provides 70 calories and almost 5 grams of sugar. Logically, it is about added sugar present in the chocolate cream and in the dough. Furthermore, it still contains Palm oil among the ingredients, since Nutella has not yet decided to replace it with another healthier emulsifier.
In any case, this type of ultra-processed product is not recommended for weight loss diets or healthy eating. It could be valid occasionally and with a controlled intake. That is, without eating the bag in a binge. It must be taken into account that the caloric contribution of a whole bag is more than 1.500 calories and more than 106 grams of sugar. A real outrage if we think about the side effects it could have on the body (sugar spikes, headaches or indigestion).
