With 17.9g sugar per 100g and a glycemic load of 5, this dessert is mostly free sugars. The low protein (0.2g) and fat (0.2g) mean no buffer to slow absorption, so glucose enters the bloodstream quickly, triggering insulin release. Over time, repeated daily spikes can increase insulin resistance risk.
At 330 kcal per 100g, this dessert provides energy but only 1% DV for iron, magnesium, and potassium. If it replaces a balanced meal or snack, you miss out on protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients needed for muscle repair and enzyme function. The 1.4g fiber is modest but not enough to offset the sugar load.
The high sugar content (17.9g/100g) feeds oral bacteria that produce acid, which demineralizes tooth enamel. Since this is a soft, sticky puree, it clings to teeth longer than solid foods, increasing cavity risk, especially if eaten frequently throughout the day.
Verdict
This dessert is a treat, not a daily staple. If you eat it every day, you're getting excess sugar with minimal nutritional payoff—better to choose whole fruits or vegetable-based purees for regular consumption.
