Frequently asked
- Is Nutella healthy?
- Nutella's first ingredient is sugar and its second is palm oil; the hazelnuts headline the jar but make up around 13% of it. Two tablespoons carry 21g of sugar, which is dessert-frosting territory being marketed adjacent to breakfast. The chocolate-hazelnut idea is wonderful.
