⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The 10.59g of added sugar per 100g can contribute to blood-sugar spikes if consumed in large quantities. To counteract this, pair it with a source of fiber and protein, like a handful of nuts or chia seeds, or choose it as an ingredient in savory dishes where less sugar is added. As a soy product, it is a common allergen for some individuals.
