About Daim bar
The Daim Bar is a popular candy originating from Sweden, introduced in 1953 by Marabou. Known for its unique crunchy almond caramel center covered in smooth milk chocolate, it belongs to the confectionery category and is enjoyed worldwide. Nutritionally, Daim Bars are high in sugars (39-45g per 100g depending on size) and fats (26-30g per 100g), predominantly saturated fat. They are a source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content but are considered a highly processed food with minimal vitamins or minerals. Their small size makes them a common treat but limits significant nutritional value.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy through high carbohydrate (sugars) content, beneficial for short-term physical activity.
- Contains small amounts of calcium from milk in the chocolate coating, essential for bone health.
- Contributes to mental enjoyment due to its heavily sweet and indulgent flavor, which may improve mood for some individuals.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
