Ghiott Brutti e Buoni alle Mandorle — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Ghiott Brutti e Buoni alle Mandorle by Ghiott TREAT — score 45/90.
Sugar is the very first ingredient, ahead of the almonds. It's an indulgent almond-meringue cookie with a mostly simple list, but it's sugar and fat, not nutrition.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of the 20% almonds
- Refined sugar plus butter make this an indulgent, calorie-dense sweet
- Mono- and diglyceride emulsifier is the one industrial additive in an otherwise simple list
- Almonds, egg and honey give it some real substance, so it's a genuine treat, not engineered junk
Ingredients (14)
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Almonds (20%) (safe) — Whole almonds bring healthy fats, protein and fiber; the one genuinely nourishing component.
- Apricot kernel (moderate) — Used for bitter-almond flavor; fine in baked goods, naturally contains trace amygdalin but harmless at these levels.
- Albumen (egg white) (safe) — Egg white binds and lightens the cookie; a clean protein source.
- rice flour (moderate) — Another refined starch with little fibre or nutrition.
- wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour for the wafer shell — refined carbohydrate with little fiber. Also a gluten source.
- egg yolk (safe) — Real egg yolk acts as the natural emulsifier — a clean, recognizable ingredient.
- Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (moderate) — Industrial emulsifier; safe but a marker of processing and the one non-kitchen ingredient here.
- Pasteurized whole milk (safe) — Standard dairy ingredient, adds richness.
- FLAVOURS (moderate) — Unspecified flavoring; the brand claims natural aromas only, but it's still a vague label entry.
- BUTTER (moderate) — Real dairy fat, under 2%; flavor not a health upgrade.
- honey (moderate) — Added sugar, but a small amount low on the list; the only sweetener here.
- Raising agents (sodium carbonates, diphosphates, ammonium carbonate) (safe) — Standard leavening salts, functionally necessary and harmless.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
