I found when I started my new career in the middle of a spring-filled may day that breakfast was going to have to get liked if not just tolerated so we can function for the five hours I work phones. I have become exceptionally creative with the staple foods I allow myself by blood type and other self-guiding principle, to consume, especially with an already limited breakfast menu to choose from.

This Nutella Nougat Spread is more like dessert for me when that sweet tooth syndrome comes over me. I want something good but full of the fat calories I need to sustain some measurable weight gain keeping me healthy-looking instead of just really slim. This works for both goals !

|| ALLERGY NOTE ||


This spread is made from a nut people, the hazelnut and not un-like the peanut allergy symptoms, caution runs rampant with this. I urge you to check your child’s medical history, your family history and make a note of ANY unusual reaction upon ingesting a product that contains nut oil, a toxin to some while an elixir of health for others.

|| ABSORPTION/ ASSIMILATION ||

Nutella Nougat Spread is a finely smooth liquid but more solid upon stirring spread that replaces jams or jellies so naturally it will take some time to be absorbed by the gastric juices in which a mix of nutritious value and deliciousness collide. The skim milk is a protein and from a cellular level, this nutrient has little difficulty permeating from the lips downward. There are 50 actual hulled and de-shelled meaty hazelnuts in here equaling about 13 ounces of pure oil to digest so this is not easy on the digestive tract, but tolerated by most.

|| APPEARANCE ||

Housed in an oval transparent label-covered container, this delicious Nutella Nougat Spread is one of Ferrero’s better foods. It fits in the hand nicely and is grip-worthy even by a wet child’s hand reaching from the recently taken bath or shower.

|| COST ||

This spread is a gourmet kind of yumminess all its own and can be bought between $2.oo and $5.oo depending on where you go. I do recommend buying on ale if you have a few children to get going in the morning as energy is what it converts to very quickly.

|| DESIGN ||

Simple and un-breakable should it fall from higher shelves to floor and feet or toes below. It is safe and effectively made to preserve its natural goodness against light, heat and moisture although I do recommend a dry cool place so it stays relatively smooth but firm and not overly runny. Unless you ant it that way then keep it warm near the stove or something, out of burnings way.

|| DIRECTIONS ||

Take a teaspoon out of the kitchen drawer and scoop yourself two hefty servings  of Nutella Nougat Spread and spread it on whatever or melt it a bit and dip whatever into it ! The instructions on the label merely are a suggestion of a healthy breakfast: a glass of skim milk, a glass of orange juice (now I don’t know about your body but citrus and dairy don’t mix well for me) and a slice of whole grain toast with generous slathering of Nutella Nougat Spread on top of it is the breakfast most noted as ‘perfect’.

|| DOSAGE ||

Since this is not a recommended foodstuff there is no accurate dosage to assign; however, if you love rich creamy hazelnuts drenched in sugary chocolate goodness, then spread it heavy and truly indulge !


|| ELIMINATION ||

No change going out as it is same as went in lest the energy it manifested into when converted from a carbohydrate to efficient potential building body booster. It makes the attention more acute so elimination might seem endless as thirst is brought on when consuming too much of this yummy nutty spread.

|| HISTORY ||

The company Ferrero brought this cream spread of hazelnuts and chocolate to the USA in 1963. It was created from an earlier version and of course improved today. A total of 75 countries on this planet consume Nutella Nougat Spread everyday and that means something when a customer is looking for value, great taste and lots of satisfied taste budds !

Type of chocolate used in Nutella is called Gianduia. This is an analogue containing approximately 50% paste of both the almond and the hazelnut. It was first created in a kitchen in Piedmont, Italy following a tax increase on cocoa beans hindered the diffusion of conventional chocolate.

The owner of a patisserie (French for bakery) Pietro Ferrero, used as much as 300 kilograms (660 lb) of "Pasta Gianduja" in 1946 to market this newer introduction of the Nutella Nougat Spread or hazelnut almond cream as it first ws known as. The first batch was simply solid block of molded and melted chocoalte and hazelnuts, but in 1949, Pietro started to sell a creamy version in 1951 as "Supercrema".

In 1963, Pietro's son Michele revamped Supercrema with the intention of marketing it across the continent of Europe and became a world-wide famous composition that was later modified and renamed "Nutella." The first jar of Nutella Nougat Spread left the Ferrero factory in Alba on 20 April 1964. The product was an instant success and remains widely popular. The estimated Italian production of Nutella averages 179,000 tons per year.

|| INGREDIENTS ||

Quite simple really, not too many and especially easy to pronounce. A dictionary comes in handy when trying to identify the particular properties of an emulsifier like soy lecithin is. Overall the eight ingredients are not derived from a chemical compound but rather a natural source either fermented, cooked or processed with other flavorings or colorings equally natural.

In here is as follows: Sugar; Modified Palm Oil; Hazelnuts; Cocoa; Skim Milk; Reduced Minerals Whey (from the skim milk); Soy Lecithin (an emulsifier); and Vanillin: (an artificial flavor)-- this last one gets a huge frown . . .

|| SMELL ||

Like a rich flowing river of the finest hazelnut chocolate you ever had waft up your nose. Nutella Nougat Spread melted and spread able on anything this is hazelnut-lovers delightful heaven in a spoonful or more ! Very sweet, carmelized burnt cocoa and the delicious centers of meaty hazelnut yumminess all comes at you instantly when opening and sniffing.

|| TASTE ||

Again the taste equaling the smell in rich flowing river of a chocolate laced tastefully in a bed of molten hazelnut meat goodness. The shells are discarded and the hearty meat of the most ripe hazelnuts are basically all you taste with the cocoa aftertaste complimenting the nut. There is a slight notice of a milky taste which is both plain and subtle-sweet, but perhaps not organic.

|| USES ||

I prefer to not say uses here but serve this as the recommendations for places to appreciate Nutella Nougat Spread on: for example cinnamon toast points are a delight with this to spread atop of them; then there is a filling responsibility in crepes, baguettes, flute desserts, canapés, sundaes, parfaits, funnel cakes, waffles, pancakes, muffins, and even swirled into chocolate pies and mousses. I have never frozen it so I don’t know if that works.

Since it is so smooth it spreads evenly and without tearing the weakest bread, makes the old standby PB&J a thing of the past. If you melt it some more and serve it hot like a fondue the dunking possibilities are endless. You can skew chunks of bread, fruit, nuts, and even cereal if you can get the Cheerios to stay on the fondue utensil !

Whatever you want to give a different pace to that jam, jelly, or marmalade serves well on try this as a replacement.

|| WARNING ||

The product cannot be exposed to radiation so microwaving is not recommended as is not refrigerating the contents after opening. I wonder without preservatives how this nut-based spread with so much sugar keep without being cold ? As far as a health warning--Nutella Nougat Spread is a nut-based product that can cause severe allergic reactions if a peanut allergy is already present in your family history. See Allergies please . . .

|| FINAL NOTE ||

I like Nutella, made in Canada but distributed from Somerset, New Jersey, as a snack when the sweet-tooth syndrome hits. I discovered for the first meal of the day, I do need more than just the healthy kick of a ‘sugar rush’. I am not the sugar junkie. I really do enjoy and consume only raw cane sugar or Agave Nectar.

I do so because of over-dominance of estrogen production in my system and processed, refined white bleached sugar is my body’s worst enemy. We do not get along but I do not use Nutella Nougat Spread often enough and certainly not to kick start my day because I need cholesterol-busting foods like my http://www1.epinions.com/review/General_Mills_Honey_Nut_Cheerios/content_488406814340 . . .
