Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Ashure (Noah's Pudding)
Metabolic Effect: Ashure is rich in plant-based protein and fiber as it contains legumes like wheat, chickpeas, beans, and dried fruits. This provides a feeling of fullness. However, the added sugar content increases its glycemic load.
Consumption Recommendation: Since it is a high-energy dessert, it can serve as a meal replacement or a post-workout reward on active days. If making it at home, using honey, molasses, or relying solely on the sugar from dried fruits makes it a healthier option.
Things to Consider: Diabetics and those on a weight loss journey should practice portion control (e.g., half a bowl). Nuts like walnuts and hazelnuts added on top provide healthy fats but significantly increase the calorie count.
Exercise Equivalent: A medium-sized bowl of Ashure contains about 450 calories. To burn this energy, approximately 60-75 minutes of brisk walking or 45 minutes of running is required.
