Mixed Lollies: Pascall Lolly ScrambleThis Pascall Lolly Scramble is essentially a bag of sugar. While it's marketed for fun, nutritionally it offers very little and is best considered an occasional treat, not a regular snack.
Few nutritional benefits.
1. High in Added Sugar: The primary ingredients for all varieties are glucose syrup and sugar. A single 25g serving (approximately 3 pieces) contains 16.8g of sugar, which is over 4 teaspoons. This will lead to a rapid blood sugar spike and crash, impacting energy levels and focus, especially in children.
2. Lack of Nutrients: These lollies are devoid of essential nutrients like fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They provide empty calories without contributing to satiety or overall health.
3. Vegetable Oil Content: While specific types aren't detailed, vegetable oil is often used in confectionery and can be a source of less healthy fats, especially if it's hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, contributing to inflammation.
This product is a classic treat. If you're looking for something sweet, enjoy it in moderation and perhaps share it. For a more satisfying and nutritious sweet option, consider fresh fruit like berries or a small piece of dark chocolate, which offer antioxidants and some fiber. If you're after a convenient, on-the-go option, look for fruit leathers made with 100% fruit or small portions of dried fruit.
