Food Label for Starchy Snack
This is a highly processed, carbohydrate-heavy snack that offers minimal nutritional value for its 320 calories. The carb-to-fiber ratio is concerning at 35:1 (70g carbs to 2g fiber), far exceeding the recommended 5:1 ratio for healthy choices. Key concerns: - Very high carbohydrate load (70g) with minimal fiber (2g), which will likely cause rapid blood sugar spikes - Low protein (6g) and very low fat (1g) means this won't be satisfying and may lead to overconsumption - Added sugars (4g) aren't extremely high but are unnecessary in what appears to be a savory snack The sodium content (220mg, 10% DV) is moderate and acceptable for a snack. The micronutrient profile is minimal, with small amounts of iron (6% DV) and calcium (3% DV). If you're looking for a crunchy snack, consider alternatives like whole grain crackers with at least 3g fiber per serving, or better yet, nuts and seeds which offer better protein, healthy fats, and more nutrients. If you do buy this, pair it with protein (like cheese or hummus) to help moderate blood sugar impact and increase satiety.
