About Powdered donut holes
Powdered donut holes are small, spherical pastries coated in powdered sugar, originating from traditional donuts which are popular in American and European cuisines. Typically deep-fried and made from a sweetened dough containing flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and butter, they are known for their soft texture and sugary coating. A single powdered donut hole (approximately 15g) provides about 60 calories, 4g of carbohydrates, 2g of fat, and 1g of protein. They are high in refined sugars and saturated fats while offering little in terms of vitamins or minerals. Primarily a dessert or snack, they are considered an indulgence rather than a nutrient-dense food option.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick energy source due to simple carbohydrates in the form of sugar.
- Contains trace amounts of calcium and iron from enriched flour used in preparation.
- The small serving size allows for portion-controlled indulgence.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness. Avoid refrigerating as it can cause the sugar coating to dissolve and texture to harden.
