El Monterey Chile Rellenos are crispy, fried green chilies stuffed with melted cheese, offering a savory and indulgent snack or appetizer experience.
The nutrition facts reveal a high-calorie, high-fat product with significant saturated fat and cholesterol content, moderate sodium levels, and minimal carbohydrates and fiber, making it calorie-dense and low in essential nutrients like iron and fiber. The presence of artificial colors, stabilizers, and processed ingredients such as modified corn starch and xanthan gum suggest this is an ultra-processed food, likely contributing to poor dietary habits if consumed frequently or in large amounts.
Given the high calorie and fat content, along with limited nutritional benefits, a healthier alternative would be fresh vegetables or homemade versions using minimal processing and whole ingredients like fresh chilies, cheese, and simple batter without synthetic additives.
