For anyone watching sugar: low-sugar cookies
Today’s item is a Gullón Zero 4-variety pack I found at Costco.
Reference price
・4-variety pack: 💲239.00 MXN
① Zero-style cookies that still look very chocolatey
Mexico has so many cookies that look delicious.
Costco has plenty too, to the point where choosing one can take a while.
This time, I picked up a package that says zero sugar, even though the cookies look like they have plenty of chocolate.
If I am not mistaken, Gullón is a Spanish cookie brand. They seem to make quite a few zero-sugar or no-added-sugar snacks.
② Opening the box
Let’s open it up.
Oh! How many packs are inside?
There were 4 packs inside 😅
So the format is simple: one pack of each of the 4 varieties.
Honestly, it was a bit simpler than I expected... ~_~;
③ Checking the labels
Now let’s look at the ingredient and nutrition information.
As you can see, there are still small amounts of carbohydrates or sugars that naturally come from the ingredients. That part is expected.
What matters here is that I did not see sugar listed as an ingredient; instead, the cookies use sweeteners.
Still, even if the sugar is zero, eating too many sweetener-based snacks can also be hard on your body.
Personally, I would also be careful about giving these to children.
Another important point: zero-sugar does not mean zero calories. Do not mix those up.
④ Tasting them
Now, time to taste them.
I actually wanted to try every variety, but by the time I finished this post, the rest had already disappeared at home... (T . T)
The one I did try was not lacking compared with a regular cookie.
It was tasty, and the chocolate flavor came through properly.
The variety I ate was the cracker-style cookie with chocolate in the middle.
＊How is the value?＊
The value is the part I was curious about. For the price, you get 4 varieties. Is that good?
After checking around, similar individual packs seem to sell for about 80 MXN each at supermarkets.
The one I tried was probably around 88 MXN, though prices can change depending on size and store.
Seen that way, getting 4 varieties of this size for this price feels like a decent deal.
For anyone trying to reduce sugar for health or dietary reasons, this is an interesting product to try.
Just remember that these still have calories and sweeteners, so enjoy them in moderation.
