Just tried Nutella for the first time!
 

I always thought Nutella was some type of Vegemite or nasty peanut butter substitute. (never read the label)

But my curiosity got the best of me at the grocery store today and I read the label. and threw it in the cart.

The stuff is AMAZING! Almost the same nutritionally as peanut butter (minus about 150mg of salt).

Yuck.
Too much sugar :)

(A 2 tablespoon serving, which is what you’d spread on a toast, is 200 calories. It contains 11 grams of fat, 3.5 of which are saturated (18% of your daily recommended value). The 21 grams of sugar in a serving are equivalent to 5 teaspoonfuls!

Here is the ingredient list: sugar, modified palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk, reduced minerals whey (from milk), soy lecithin: an emulsifier, vanillin: an artificial flavor.

Over 50 Hazelnuts per 13 oz. Jar – and over 50 teaspoons of sugar too!
Contains No Artificial Colors – but does contain artificial flavors
Contains No Artificial Preservatives – but includes modified palm oil)

I admit it is pretty sweet. But for a relatively healthy snack to cure a sweet tooth.
A spoonful of nutella.


edit: P.S. you are an amazing designer! :)

Awesome on toasted bagels...

Nutella is becoming mainstream in america now?

Yuck.. Enjoy. I'll pass, thanks. :)

i eaten that stuff for like 2 times in my life
i got some weird way of thinking about chocolate, it does not belong on a piece of bread. Peanut butter however is my favorite!

Nutella is great :)

I've been eating it for years. :thumbsup

Pure sugar...
bad for the teeth and has way too many calories.
Eat it and it will make you fat in no time.

dangerous stuff, a jar is a once every 3 months treat, then it gets caned by the whole family.. on hot toast its the bollocks.


ps Vegemite/Marmite is lovely.

What are you 10 years old?

"Dangerous stuff"... LOL... i grow up with "pane e nutella" (nutella on a piece of bread) and i am no way fat or have any sort of problems...trust me...Nutella is way better than the things kids eat these days...

Be careful that stuff is quite addictive;)

Nice in croissants.

Try it on crepes with bananas ;)

Crunchy PB and a bit of Nutella on a spoon. Mmmmmmm

same here.

Nothing wrong with nutella....

made in Italy, I love it too

I swapped from Skippy's reduced fat to Smart Balance. Love PB and always on the lookout for the most healthy alternative. Have to check out Nutella. All things in moderation.

cant say that im willing to try that

when i was a kid, i ate that stuff straight from the glass with a spoon lol.
still loving it today.

nutbutter

Never heard of it till now. I am a Peanut Butter lover since I was a kid. Eat it almost daily. :thumbsup Think I'll look for it and try it to see how it compares.:)

Yes you might like it now, but give it some time.

One day you will eat it and think "fuck this shit is far too sweet" and never eat it again.

on the other hand peanut butter is forever.

are you for real :)

too much sweet

I refuse to try it...

geez, why worry over 100 small things, just enjoy food in moderation and as long as its reasonably free of harmful chemicals !

seriously not much you can do if you live in a city. all that worry over food, and then you go drink your "city treated" water.....

even boiling cant remove the harmful stuff in city water

it is indeed addictive

Being of italian descent and living in T.O. i grew up on that stuff. Though it was more a treat because having brothers also meant it didn't last long either. Try spreading nutella on one slice of bread and peanut butter on the other, then smashing those son bitches together. reese's pieces sandwich, it's sugar crack

Just tried it recently too. Tasty but sweeeeeet...

it's good stuff indeed :thumbsup

It is ok...

Nutella is great!
My kids and me can't get enough of it :thumbsup

This guy likes Nutella too...

Agreed. Its definitely not peanut butter. but a once in a while alternative for that chocolate sweet tooth its perfect.

:1orglaugh:2 cents:

Nutella, mmmmhhhhhhh. On crepes or wafles. Damn you now i want some :/

p.s: Peanut butter, yuk, last time i tried it, i almost puked, too salty. (i have very low tolerance on salt...)

that shit is addictive...
