If you ever baked anything or made desserts this is no surprise. You always have to cut the sugar amount in half.
Too much refined sugar is bad. Too much fat, particularly saturated fats, are bad. When you put them together, they work synergistically to fuck you up so much more. But everyone zeroing in on the sugar exclusively, pay attention. There are 4 calories in a gram of sugar, and 9 calories in a gram of fat. In one serving that’s 21 grams of sugar times 4, which is 84 calories from sugar. By contrast, even though there is less fat by volume at 12 grams, it still amounts to more calories than the sugar at 108 calories per serving.
And notably only 1 gram of fiber per serving.
I don’t even remember what Nutella tastes like, and even when I did try it I never understood the hype. If I were trying to make a healthy alternative, I would blend together a mix of hazelnuts, walnuts, oats, cocoa, dates, and however much needed water to get the desired consistency. I don’t feel like added fats should be necessary (nuts are already naturally high in fats), but if I wasn’t satisfied with the results, I might try using a little canola or avocado oil. Knowing me, I’d probably squeeze some flax in as well.
The sugar jar is half empty
Is this a surprise to anyone? No one is buying Nutella for the health benefits…
I’m a jif man myself
Okay. Gimmy.
Do yourself a favour and try some real cocoa hazelnut butter from Quebec’s Allo Simonne or from Toronto’s Roasted Nut Company. Decadent, lightly sweet, and without the peculiar greasy texture from the palm oil.

21 grams of sugar in a 37 gram serving, so >56% sugar by weight
no wonder it’s delicious 😆
European here. Sorry, but it is so ridiculous that labels don’t just show some standardized “per 100 g” so things are easily compared without math.
Yeah same opinion here, guess they cant make it easy for people to know what they put in their bodies or they might start caring right?
At 57% sugar, it is no longer a bread spread but a flavored sugar mix
I usually have Nutella in my Nutella jars, but you do you.
It usually gets tough when you get to the raw cocoa powder layer…
reduce the sugar and use coconut oil and mmmmm.
I absolutely get the point. That said, I prefer eating my pizza dough first, then cheese, then marinara sauce. Sometimes I go sauce first when I think no one’s looking. Drink it right outta the tub like a champ.
I’m pretty sure they mix it up a bit…
No it’s a new food trend, haven’t you heard? It’s called “deconstructed food”, where they just throw the raw ingredients at you and leave it up to you to do the actual work. At the same time they sell it at a premium price brainwashing you into believing this is a new high end dining experience. /j
Deconstructed is a very popular way to do haute cuisine dishes. You have to do some of the work, and you only get a small fraction of what an entree would be, and you pay many times more. It’s brilliant.

Pretty sure they reduced the palm oil by a lot.
So is this true for the current one ,?
Maybe it’s been changed again more recently too.
