Analyzing the nutrition facts reveals a product with 89.9 calories per serving, making it low in calories for a snack but potentially high if used as part of a larger meal. The saturated fat content at 5.01g is moderate, and the absence of trans fat is a positive attribute. Sodium levels at 125mg are moderate, while carbohydrates are very low at 2g, with no fiber or sugars exceeding minimal amounts. Protein content at 2g provides some amino acids but isn't significant. The product lacks added vitamins or minerals beyond natural occurrences in its ingredients.
Health impacts could include promoting vegetable intake but may also contribute to saturated fat consumption if used frequently. While it avoids artificial flavors and colors, the presence of stabilizers like xanthan gum and additives suggests a processed nature, potentially affecting health considerations.
A healthier alternative might involve fresh veggies with hummus or avocado for lower calories and higher nutrients, offering a minimally processed option compared to this product's extensive additive list.
