⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high natural sugar content (over 10g per 100g) can cause rapid blood sugar spikes if consumed in large amounts or frequently. To counteract this, serve small portions and pair it with a protein or fat source, like a spoonful of plain yogurt or a piece of cheese, to slow sugar absorption.

FAQ
Is this the same as pineapple juice?
No. This is a strained, pureed pudding with a thicker, spoonable consistency and contains the fibrous pulp of the fruit, unlike filtered juice.
Can I serve this to a baby with a dairy allergy?
Yes, this fruit-based dessert is typically dairy-free, but always check the label for any added ingredients or cross-contamination warnings.
How does the sugar here compare to whole pineapple?
The sugar concentration is higher because it's a puree without the water content of fresh fruit chunks, but it's still naturally occurring fruit sugar, not added sugar.
