Eti Karam %54 Cocoa Pistachio Dark Chocolate - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Eti Karam %54 Cocoa Pistachio Dark Chocolate

The 60 g square Eti Karam dark pistachio tablet provides about 319 kcal and 21.6 g sugars. Pistachios make up 14% of the product; the label for the smaller 27% pistachio bar does not describe it.

Dividing the tablet into three

One of three equal portions weighs 20 g and provides about 106 kcal, 7.2 g sugars, 1.9 g protein and 2.4 g fibre. It contains 6.6 g of the full tablet's 19.8 g fat. The pistachios' fat and calories are already counted in the panel.

The 20 g quantity is a weighed portion. An individual square or row has not been verified to weigh 20 g, so it should not automatically be treated as this portion.

What 14% pistachios means

At 14%, the 60 g tablet contains about 8.4 g pistachios. The 54% cocoa solids declaration applies to its chocolate component. Confusing it with the 18% pistachio milk tablet or the 27% pistachio bar changes both the ingredient comparison and the pack calculation.

The plain 54% Karam tablet panel does not describe the pistachio version either; the same cocoa wording does not make the ingredients identical.

Check the milk ingredient

Butter appears in the ingredients. “Dark”, or a dairy-free description in a sales heading, does not override this milk allergen. Read the pistachio and milk declarations alongside the actual wrapper's other trace warnings.
