Puzzling

I try and keep to a reasonably low GI diet, so sweet type foods need to
be selected with care.

So imagine my surprise when I stumble across this in a GI database:-

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: GI - 30, GL - 3.8

I *love* Nutella - I'm just more than a little surprised that it has a
GI less than Apples, Bananas or other "sweet" fruits. Weird!

Knowing my luck, it's stuffed full of Hydrogenated Fat - my other "avoid
at all costs" food...

Not really -- a 2 tablespoon serving has 11g of fat (about half its
199 calories) but only 2g of saturated fat. But it is a pretty
significant source of calories :-).

Sounds like ideal slow-release yummyness for when out on a day bike ride
then... mmmm Nutella Sandwiches - rocket fuel for the 200km Audaxer

Thanks!
