I am hoping that yesterday’s trip to the supermarket was the last one before Christmas… and just wanted to share one more product review with you. I am making a raspberry and vanilla ice cream for Christmas dessert, and so gathered the ingredients today. I rarely buy cream, and when I do only ever buy the lite version – seriously no one needs the extra fat, and the taste difference is non existent. So, what is the difference you ask? My purchase was thickened cream, and here is the difference:
| Pura Lite Thick Cream | 796kJ/100ml |
| Pura Thickened Cream | 1463kJ/100ml |
| Pura Double Thick Cream | 1939kJ/100ml |
In the ice cream recipe I was making I needed 600ml of thickened cream. So by choosing the lite cream I have saved 4002kJ by not choosing the standard thickened cream, or saved a whopping 6858kJ if I had chosen the double thick cream. 6858kJ is easily a day’s intake. And sure, I wouldn’t expect anyone to eat my entire ice cream, but you can see that the difference does start to add up. So, if you are at the supermarket and needing cream, choose a lite version. Your arteries and body will thank you!!
Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy good food J
