The contents of a jar of Nutella

@Kolanaki@pawb.social 2026-04-05 20:25

Good thing I don't just eat the stuff by itself right out of the jar and finish the whole thing in a single sitting.

I'm actually not seeing anything especially surprising here. Does anyone eat a bite of it and not immediately know it's got a ton of fat and sugar in it?

I am Italian and, living in Scandinavia, apart from being mostly disgusted by the other chocolate spreads, I am always very surprised to see the office managers, offering breakfasts on select days, defaulting to a teaspoon in the Nutella jar. I grew up with a taboo for that and the only way I would ever have Nutella is by scraping some with a knife-side and spreading it thinly on a slice of bread. It's funny to see people do such things and then coming with the question: "you Italians have pasta, pizza and Nutella and you still manage to be so thin. How?!" Check your portions.

Can make own at home, with a blender. Roast your own nuts of choice. Roasted Almond. Great. Roasted Almond with roasted Hemp kernels. Great. Roasted Almonds with roasted Hemp kernels, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, with a dash of chocolate, chilli, turmeric and white pepper... Great. Taking the junk from the corporation... Not so great. Much more fun exploring what ingredients go in your food, rather than have the corporation choose for you. They don't choose for you. They choose for themselves, at you. You end up with junk instead of food. Much more fun making your own. Healthier, cost similar, more nutrition, and no where near as much nutrientless white crystalline addictants... unless you want that, and can add sugar back in if you want. (Roasting makes it sweet though. Top tip. Healthy sweet.) Just almonds, roasted, then blended smooth at a medium speed. Try it. See which wins your taste test.

Do yourself a favour and try some real cocoa hazelnut butter from [Quebec’s Allo Simonne ](https://allosimonne.com/en/collections/nos-tartinades/products/noisettes-chocolat-au-lait) or from [Toronto’s Roasted Nut Company](https://theroastednutcompany.com/collections/nut-butters/products/chocolate-hazelnut-butter-smooth-the-roasted-nut-inc-1). Decadent, lightly sweet, and without the peculiar greasy texture from the palm oil.

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.

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. https://time.com/5016830/nutella-recipe-change/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1pr16t5/new_nutella_recipe_sucks/
