Ferrero, one of the largest chocolate manufacturers, has produced Nutella, a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread. To compensate for the lack of cocoa in Italy during World War II, Ferrero added ground hazelnuts to a chocolate coating. Since then, Nutella has been popular around the world, and its popularity is increasing.
We can use this chocolate and hazelnut spread in many ways, including a topping for morning toast, pancakes, and waffles. Restaurants presently categorized Nutella as a dessert topping, but Ferrero has been lobbying to reclassify the spread as a breakfast topping akin to jam. This modification may not appear to be significant, but it has the potential to have a vital influence on how customers view its nutritious value. In other words, Nutella advertisements emphasize the spread as a quick and nutritious breakfast choice, particularly for youngsters.
However, because of its high sugar content, it is not the ideal choice for your breakfast. Nutella is the offspring of chocolate and hazelnut, a delicious mash-up of the two tastes. It has a sweeter flavor but not too sweet that it makes you feel unappetizing. The flavor of Nutella sometimes reminds us of peanut butter, but with a touch of hazelnut covered in chocolate and then melted into jars of Nutella for all to enjoy.
Ferrero is proud of the simple ingredients that go into making Nutella. You have a percent hazelnut paste, each jar contains approximately 50 hazelnuts. You have skimmed milk powder; which is made by removing water from non-fat milk.
You also have cocoa, which gives it that chocolatey taste, sugar, palm oil; for the creamy texture and spreadability then, soy lecithin to keep all the ingredients together.
Soy lecithin is a fatty substance obtained from soybeans. Iron is responsible for the production of red blood cells in the body and also helps to protect the immune system. Calcium, on the other hand, supports the health of the bones and teeth.
It also regulates blood pressure and reduces the risk of strokes and colon cancer. Nutella is great as a spread, but it contains quite a lot of saturated fats and sugar. So it might not be the ideal breakfast or something you overindulge in.
Many people substitute Nutella for natural nut butter, but it is not as healthy. Nutella is delicious and has its own benefits, but it is best eaten as a dessert. How else can you use Nutella aside from eating it from the jar with a spoon? The obvious choice for Nutella is bread, It is the first thing that comes to mind. If you want it to taste better, you can toast it after spreading it. When you want to enjoy Nutella as it is, doing some snacking, you can add fruits to the mix.
Nutella pairs well with bananas, apples, even strawberries. If you want to make your coffee or make your drink of hot chocolate even better, add scoops of Nutella. Nutella also works well with oatmeal. Instead of having boring oatmeal for your breakfast, you can spice things up by adding Nutella, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and some bananas. I bet it now looks appetizing and interesting. Nutella is not limited to just being a spread, it can be more if you are creative with it.
The origin of Nutella is very interesting, ironically, we have Napoleon and Hitler to thank for the invention of Nutella. In , Napoleon tried freezing the British Commerce so that he could win the Napoleonic wars, the resulting continental blockade made the price of chocolate skyrocket. In , a court in France refused to allow a couple to name their daughter Nutella.
Instead, she's called Ella. In just over 50 years since its official humble beginnings in Italy, Nutella's become an international household name—it is available in countries. In , Ferrero was slammed with a class-action lawsuit over the advertising language which claimed that Nutella was part of a healthy breakfast.
The first ingredient is sugar, and it doesn't get much better from there. So, sadly, Nutella is confirmed as more of an indulgence than a protein source. A pair of Italian bloggers channeled our universal love into World Nutella Day.

In the 10 minutes you've spent scrolling through these facts, jars were sold. The Ferrero family is doing just fine, thank you very much. That means that, according to Nutella advertisements, over 12, hazelnuts were packed into those jars that just sold.
And, believe it or not, those hazelnuts only account for 13 percent of the product! In honor of World Nutella Day, learn more about the beloved sweet spread. By Kaley Roberts. Kaley Roberts is a food writer. Read more. Read This Next.
