⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
Due to its very high sugar (57.69g per 100g) and calorie content, it can cause rapid blood sugar spikes and is not suitable for low-sugar or calorie-controlled diets. To counteract this, pair a small portion with a source of protein or healthy fat (like a handful of nuts) to slow sugar absorption, and practice strict portion control.
Key benefits
- Quick source of energy from carbohydrates and sugars.
- Provides a small amount of protein (6.41g per 100g).

- The crispy rice adds a pleasant textural element.
