Fiskobirlik Sweetened Hazelnut Paste - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fiskobirlik Sweetened Hazelnut Paste

How much do you spread on the bread?

A weighed 15 g portion of FKB sweetened hazelnut spread provides about 87 kcal, 1.92 g protein and 5.31 g sugars. Using 30 g raises this to 174 kcal and 10.62 g sugars. A heaped and a level spoon hold different amounts, so weighing a few servings is more useful than assigning one fixed weight to a spoon.

These figures describe the spread alone. Bread, pancakes or other foods underneath contribute separately. The entire 300 g jar totals 1737 kcal, but the jar is not one serving.

What does 70% hazelnuts tell you?

The manufacturer describes 70% hazelnuts and 30% sugar, with vanilla flavouring. Its nutrition panel lists 35.4 g total sugars per 100 g. The added ingredient percentage is different from total sugars, which also includes the hazelnuts’ contribution.

This product contains hazelnuts and is unsuitable for someone with a hazelnut allergy.

The same brand’s no-added-sugar spread contains isomalt and has a different ingredient list. Findux with 70% hazelnuts is another formula: matching hazelnut percentages do not make the total-sugars figures identical.

Manufacturer source

The reference is the manufacturer’s 300 g FKB sweetened hazelnut spread page. It reports 579 kcal, 12.8 g protein, 40.6 g fat, 3.6 g saturated fat and 0.05 g salt per 100 g. Fibre and unreported micronutrients have not been filled from other spreads. Because the page’s kJ and kcal figures conflict, only its explicitly stated kcal value is used here.
