The primary ingredients are sugar and palm oil\u2026 the \u201cnut\u201d part runs a very distant third. The Nutella web site claims there are \u201cover 50 hazelnuts per 13 oz. jar.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/nutritiondata.self.com\/facts\/nut-and-seed-products\/3116\/2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to NutritionData.com<\/a>, there are 21 hazelnuts to one ounce; so 50 hazelnuts works out to 2.4 oz.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s 18%\u2026 but to be generous (and to account for the \u201cover 50?), we\u2019ll call it 20% (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.obesitypanacea.com\/2009\/04\/nutella-delicious-yes-nutritious.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">although other estimates put it at a measley 13%<\/a>). By contrast, your typical commercial peanut butter, like Peter Pan or Skippy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peanut-institute.org\/peanut-products\/peanut-butter.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is over 90% peanuts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said: greasy sugar spread. I\u2019ve never eaten the stuff for that reason: I can\u2019t look at it without \u201cseeing\u201d chocolate-and-nut flavored Crisco.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, it&#8217;s junk.
