Mixed Nuts: Mrigendra Foods PVT LTDThis mixed nuts and dry fruits mix is a decent snack option overall, especially compared to highly processed snacks.
Benefits:
1. Good source of healthy fats (17g total fat, 140 calories from fat) which are important for satiety and overall health. The blend of nuts and dry fruits likely provides a variety of fatty acids.
2. Contains dietary fiber (2g) which aids digestion and helps keep you feeling full.
3. Provides some protein (5g), contributing to satiety.
Concerns:
1. While it contains minimal sugar (1g), the 'dry fruits' in the mix can significantly increase the overall sugar content depending on the types and amounts used. The nutrition label only gives the total sugars, not added sugars. Be mindful of portion size to manage sugar intake.
2. The marketing claim "Ideal snack for weight watchers" should be taken with a grain of salt. While nuts are healthy, they are calorie-dense (185 calories per 28g serving) and can contribute to weight gain if portions are not controlled.
Overall, this is a reasonable snack choice. Stick to the serving size to manage calories and sugar. For a snack with less sugar, look for plain nuts or seeds without added dry fruit or coatings.
