⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
Despite having no added sugar, its high carbohydrate content (82.7g per 100g) from concentrated fruit sugars can lead to rapid blood-sugar spikes, especially for those with diabetes or insulin resistance. To mitigate this, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like a handful of nuts or a cheese stick) to slow absorption, and practice strict portion control by sticking to a single, thin roll.
