Nuts to Nutella
I’ve been suckered by marketing hype. I’d been advised that nuts were a good snack for diabetics, provided they weren’t peanuts. Now Nutella is made from hazlenuts and I’ve found it a few times in hotels abroad at breakfast.
Now flash forwards to a week or two ago in ASDA, where Nutella was on 2 for 1. Picking up a jar, I was seduced by the packaging, which said
packed
with over
50 HAZLENUTS
A GLASS OF
SKIMMED MILK*
AND A LITTLE
COCOA**
On getting round to trying it on toast, however, I couldn’t believe how syrupy it was. A look on the back explained all…
INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, VEGETABLE OIL, HAZLENUTS (13%), etc.
