Food Label for Coconut Cookies: Vishal Mega Mart
Coconut Cookies: Vishal Mega MartThis cookie is a high-sugar, high-fat snack with minimal nutritional benefits. It's essentially a dessert marketed as a snack. Few nutritional benefits. 1. High in Added Sugar (9.5g per serve): This is almost 2.5 teaspoons of added sugar per serving, making up a significant portion of the cookie. Sugar is the second ingredient listed, indicating its high proportion. This will lead to a rapid blood sugar spike and crash, not ideal for sustained energy. 2. Refined Ingredients: Made primarily from refined wheat flour (Maida), which lacks fiber and nutrients found in whole grains. Refined palm oil is also a primary ingredient, contributing to high saturated fat content. 3. High Saturated Fat (2.8g per serve): While some fat comes from coconut, the primary source is refined palm oil. High intake of saturated fats can be a concern for heart health. These cookies are a treat, not a nutritious snack. If you choose to consume them, do so in moderation, perhaps paired with a source of protein or fiber like nuts or fruit to help balance blood sugar. For a healthier snack alternative in the grocery store, look for whole-grain crackers with cheese, or a handful of almonds.
