• Maltose syrup (tapioca) - This syrup has 60% of the sweetness of sugar and is manufactured from a starch, in this case tapioca. The sugar levels in this product aren't too bad. Per 28g serve - which is half this packet - you will get 7.8g of sugar which is 1.8 teaspoons.
• Dried berries (8%, cranberries and blueberries) - At 8 per cent there's not a huge amount of berries in here so I suspect they are really providing flavour more than anything.
• Sugar - Not too much sugar in here, see above.
• Salt - Only 25mg of sodium per 28g serve.
My recommendations
These are a great snack to send to school with your child.
Unlike similar products which add chocolate or overdo the sugar, these aren't too bad.
And they don't taste over-sweetened.
You are also putting some very nutritional nuts into your child's diet which are low GI which means they will not only fill your child up but give them energy longer than a sugary snack.
The whole packet will give your child 288 calories and 15.6g of sugar so half a packet would probably be best.
Highlights
• Uses nutritional nuts
• Low in sugar
