About Crunch chocolate bar
The Crunch Chocolate Bar is a widely recognized confectionery item primarily produced by Nestlé (internationally) and Ferrero in the U.S. It originated in the United States in 1938 and is known for its combination of creamy milk chocolate and puffed rice pieces, offering both sweetness and texture. A standard-sized bar (32 grams) generally provides around 160 calories, 2 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat (5 grams saturated), and 22 grams of carbohydrates with 17 grams of sugar. It contains small amounts of calcium and iron. While designed as an indulgent treat rather than a nutrient-rich food, it can provide a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate content. The Crunch Bar falls within Western cuisine but has global availability.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy via 22 grams of carbohydrates, mostly from sugars, supporting short bursts of physical or mental activity.
- Contains small amounts of iron (around 2% of the daily value per serving), which supports oxygen transport in the body.
- Contains a small amount of calcium (around 4% of the daily value per serving), contributing to bone health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store the Crunch Bar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) to prevent melting or bloom.
