Sometime the internet is a place where strangers fight with each other, sometimes it is a place for silly cat videos, but sometimes, the internet is a place where you can actually learn new things. And yes, while learning the ingredients that actually go into Nutella is not going to get you a degree, it's still interesting, and important to know.
Today, I was scrolling on Twitter, and saw that Nutella was trending. Being the foodie I am, I immediately had to know why, and to my surprise, it wasn't because they are releasing a new flavor, or coming out with a new product; instead, it was all about the ingredients that go in to making the beloved spread.
One user posted a photo that shows the ingredients, and proportions of all the ingredients in Nutella, and it got the internet buzzing.
Some people were genuinely shocked by the photo, and how much sugar was added. Others didn't seem too phased.
I'll be honest, I never considered Nutella a "healthy" food, but I definitely had no idea just how much sugar was in it. Will I stop eating Nutella? No; sometimes ignorance is bliss, and especially when it comes to yummy foods.
