Pomegranate Molasses - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pomegranate Molasses

• Metabolic Effect: Pomegranate molasses can rapidly increase blood sugar levels due to its sugar content. This can lead to sudden energy drops and hunger pangs, especially in individuals with insulin resistance. Therefore, it should be consumed carefully.
• Consumption Recommendation: It is important to control the amount of pomegranate molasses when using it in salads or dishes. Consuming it with protein sources such as yogurt or kefir can help balance blood sugar levels.
• Things to Consider: Some pomegranate molasses on the market may contain glucose syrup, which increases calorie intake and reduces nutritional value. 1 tablespoon of pomegranate molasses has approximately the same calories as 1 slice of bread.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 300 calories from pomegranate molasses, you need to walk briskly for about 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, 20 minutes of high-intensity aerobic exercise can provide the same effect.
