With a glycemic index of 51 and a glycemic load of 12, this food causes a moderate rise in blood sugar. The 1.6g fiber per 100g slows sugar absorption, preventing sharp spikes. Eating it daily as a snack is unlikely to disrupt glucose control, but pairing with protein or fat would further blunt the response.
Each 100g provides 131mg potassium (3% DV), which helps counterbalance sodium and supports nerve signaling and muscle contraction. Over a day, if you eat 200–300g, you'd get 6–9% of your daily potassium needs—useful but not a primary source.
At only 0.37g protein and 0.24mg iron per 100g, this food is nearly devoid of these critical nutrients. If eaten daily as a meal replacement, you'd risk inadequate protein synthesis and iron deficiency, especially for active adults or growing children beyond infancy.
With 83.14g water per 100g, this puree contributes to fluid intake. Eating 200g daily adds ~166g water, aiding digestion and maintaining hydration status, though it shouldn't replace plain water.
Verdict
This is a convenient, low-fat snack with moderate carbs and some potassium, but its low protein and iron make it unsuitable as a daily staple for anyone beyond infancy. Use it as a side or dessert, not a main.
⚠️ Who Should Avoid
- Adults on low-carb diets (16g carbs per 100g may add up)
- People with iron-deficiency anemia (negligible iron content)
