However, this version is also relatively high in calories and sugar (about 19.6 g per 100 g), and it has sodium (about 18 mg per 100 g) plus fat (12 g, with saturated fat at 4.93 g). The carbohydrates are also high (62.3 g), so it\u2019s best treated as a merienda\/dessert rather than a main everyday staple.
