What's Really in Your Nutella?

[left-of-center2012]

I've been thinking of buying some 'Nutella' spread, a brand of sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread.

I've heard and read people speak favorably of it. Currently I buy Smucker’s ‘Creamy Natural’ Peanut Butter (two ingredients: peanuts and a dash of salt).

But when I googled Nutella I saw the 1st ingrdient is sugar. Then I saw this:

4. Well, it surely isn't "health" food, but as a splurge, OMG!

Best thing on earth was discovering hot Nutella crepes on the corner food stands of Paris... Heaven on earth.

5. The harvesting of palm oil

Is responsible for a lot of deforestation. It is also high in saturated fats, which are bad for you.

I agree that Nutella is candy. Marketing it as something healthy is wrong.

6. Just an awful taste...

and apparently what you posted.

8. I've tasted it a couple times

didn't really like it. Don't know why, just wasn't my flavor, I guess.

9. It would be better if they just dumped the palm oil

and replaced it with oil of canabis.

10. Too much like a can of cake frosting for my taste

I can barely stand just the much smaller amount of sugar added to most commercial peanut butters.

[question everything]

11. I've recently discovered Almond Butter by Justin

And there is also a version with added cinnamon. Yumm
