WHAT’S IN IT?
A FANCY version of the sultanapacked Christmas favourite, but made with trendy fermented sourdough and ‘natural’ sweetener agave. Shea butter – a jellylike substance extracted from sunflowers – is used to replace the butter and eggs.
VERDICT
THERE’S slightly less sugar here than a slice of regular pannettone and half the fat. But there’s still three teaspoons’ worth of sweet stuff, a third of the daily limit, and roughly the same calorie count. Don’t be fooled by the trendy ‘clean eating’ ingredients such as agave, which is said to be ‘ healthier’ than sugar. Studies show it is far from it. As for sourdough – some say it benefits the healthy bacteria in the gut, but studies are inconclusive.
TASTE TEST:
COULD easily be mistaken for the real thing, with an airy, soft texture and fruity taste.
SWAP OR NOT? SWAP.
